The Biden administration’s ballyhooed naval coalition scrapped together for the sole purpose of deterring missile and drone attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea by the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen is failing.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on December 19 during a trip to the Middle East that the United States was standing up a naval coalition named “Operation Prosperity Guardian” to stop the attacks.

I can't believe that the Houthis don't just surrender to this mighty warrior.

You mean 3 Canadians and 16 Aussies are not enough to make the Houthi’s flee in terror?

The Canadian Armed Forces are deploying 3 staff officers to support the operation.

Over the course of 2024 there will be up to 16 ADF personnel committed to the CMF — an increase on the five currently stationed — which the Australian government says is comparable to commitments made by other countries such as Canada.

You don’t give Biden enough credit. He has already put the Houthis on Double Secret Probation.

Maybe the U.S. should start treating these “crises” with same urgency of our alleged allies.

Wouldn’t eliminating the threat be more effective than a stern warning and finger wagging? I would think a couple of well-placed tomahawks and a ‘Your next’ to Iran might be a better response.

Surprise!

The US no longer has a military, lit has an experiment in utilizing worthless deviates in accomplishing absolutely nothing.
