“The Yemen-based Ansar Allah movement (known as the Houthis) is ruling out a full shutdown of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the group’s deputy spokesman Nasr al-Din Amer told Izvestia, refuting several earlier media reports. However, the Houthis are ready for a further escalation.“
If the Houthis go that route, who could prevent it?
So if NATO is so sacred snd indispensable, why aren’t all our partners raining down hellfire on these Houthis and erasing them from the face of the earth? I have no skills as a military commander but it seems to me 72 straight hours of “incoming” might change their plans considerably.
Or is all the necessary ordinance in Ukraine?
And Joe’s response was “Where is the closest ice cream shop and do they have chocolate chocolate chip?”
It would take a full scale war to stop the Houthis and that’s probably not a good idea at this point as we are engaged elsewhere. Let the ships take an alternate route.
The Houthis are doing the US Navy a HUGE favor.
At fairly low cost, they are demonstrating to the world, and the US Navy, the embarrassing obsolescence of our naval force and its weapons.
Trading million dollar missiles for $20K drones and $100k missiles is a losing equation, when our best ships only carry two dozen of the million dollar missiles, and then have to leave the theater for a friendly theater dockside reload.
This is a favor because it’s better to learn this now, rather than learning it like the Prince of Wales and Repulse discovered as Singapore fell.
The US Navy is MORE obsolete in 2024 than battleships were in 1940.
Please thank the Houthis. This is much cheaper than losing aircraft carriers in the first weeks of a Taiwan intervention, for example.
NATO globalists wanted a proxy-war
But instead, they got proxy-wars
Amazing that the big brains at Langley and Foggy Bottom didn’t expect that.
Better hope they don’t get their hands on some sea drone copycats. Iran probably has something like them.
delcare war on Iran and their allies.
An update:
Iran humiliating USA=bad
US escalation=bad.
WOW leftists heads I win, tails you lose free rolling hate America crap.
Who could prevent it? Toughie-who prevented Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Egypt et al from jumping in?
Stock up on rubles yet?
They’re on sale-45% off since June 2022 and 75% off since Crimea 2014. A bargain buy.
A, what seems to me, a well-informed video on the attack on True Confidence.

Why is this permitted to continue? Why has the UK not leveled Yemen with a nuke? We cannot allow some fanatical whack jobs to murder innocent civilians or impede the lawful flow of commerce.
If Trunp was in office I expect the perps would already have been eliminated.
Has President Retard called for a cease fire?
Hootie land needs to be turned into green glass
