Recent reports suggest that Russia is considering providing the Houthi rebels in Yemen with advanced anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, potentially exacerbating the strategic dilemma facing Western powers as they seek to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea and beyond.

Either ballistic or cruise. Can’t be both at once.
Oh good.
The escalation is bringing more escalation.
Yikes.
Both! That’s a given. There is no constraint in Russia’s mind to match advanced systems tit for tat with NATO systems in Ukraine.
You know those 12 or 15 Patriot Systems Ukraine USED to have? What do you think happened to them? Nope, not the boom boom fairies. It was basically this generation of Russian missiles. If a Patriot battery can’t protect itself from these missiles, what defense at sea do we have that is better? There are enough of these missiles to swarm them, you know.
For those of you that are terminally ignorant of the reality of world affairs, here’s some enlightenment
If true, a needless Russian escalation of a war in which the Biden regime needlessly intervened.
Insanity.
Not needless but avoidable...the West must learn there are consequences to their bad behavior
You mis state the American position. Investing in the Ukranian defense against the Russian terrorism is an opportunity to destroy the Russian criminal oligarchy that is the enemy of the world.
Investment is not expense and will yield a profit in the form of terminally ill Mother Russia
Who didn’t see that coming? When America gives Russia’s opponent missiles the. Why would t Russia give missiles to America’s enemies?
I just read somewhere that the Mexican cartels are up buying heavy military weapons, including tank buster missiles..
I'll wager that the drug dealers have a lot more money to spend then the Who'dis.....or Who'does.....whatever.
The future looks to be very exciting.... :(
Oh good.
Well, at least Democrat Joe Biden has our Southern Border all secure ‘n’ stuff. /s
America Last
Americans Last
I read Saudi Arabia was pleading with Russia not to do that.
Such weapons can not be used after the cartel leadership including women and children are destroyed by two or three silent drone fired rockets.
The cartel leaders are gearing up to fight the Mexican government
You need to open a dictionary.
Russia’s military industrial complex is unable to meet the needs of the Russian offensive in Ukraine, so now it will export its products to the Middle East. Sounds like more of a threat than a strategy. The more arms Russia ships abroad, the fewer weapons it has to attack Ukraine. That’s not a winning strategy, but let Putin pretend to be a competent military commander.
Such foresight!
Russia has accused Nato and the US of “provoking a new level of tension” after the US and Germany became the latest allies to let Ukraine’s military use Western-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia.
America is an overextended empire that, like Rome, impoverishes its own people in wars fought to enrich its leaders on an obscene scale. It is an economic practice that works until it doesn’t.
Another reckless Russian escalation
This is why we consider Russia an ongoing menace to everyone!
