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?
see # 5.
Good question. So far all we’ve done is some tit-for-tat. I suspect we don’t have any intel assets among the Houthi and don’t want to inadvertently start down the path of escalation by miscalculating what is going on. We have land bases there which the Houthi could hit if they want to, and which would put Biden in the soup once again. Fear of our own incompetence is restraining us.
The absolutely worst threat that we face as a Nation is resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Essentially none of the necessary ordinance has gone to Ukraine. Some has gone to Israel. But we have huge stocks of most types.
