Analysis: In the Red Sea, the US has no good options against the Houthis

The US-led maritime force is a half measure that Houthis will test. But it can’t do more without escalating tensions.

    The US has a good option: pull out

      So, no trade via the Suez Canal? I’m sure that will help inflation.

        The US is free to pull the leash on its attack dog and call for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is a blockade for a blockade and veto for a veto. You are seeing Yemen responding to US aggression.

            You are delusional and haven’t learned anything from losing in Afghanistan or Iraq. Clearly you are eager for the US to be defeated once again.

            The US can call for a ceasefire in Gaza if it wants Yemen to end its blockade on Israeli ships and ships heading to Israeli ports. Otherwise, it has earned this and can only blame itself.

              Please I encourage you to emigrate to Yemen and volunteer for the Houthi cause. One less piece of shit cluttering up our nation.

              I’m more useful living in Saudi Arabia and sending them donations. I wish I could fight, but everyone has a role to play and destiny chose them to lead and show the rest of the Arab World how to stand up to imperialism and in support of Palestine.

              I’m surprised someone from lemmy.world thinks world = USA. Your comment would make more sense if your domain was lemmy.usa or something.

    So it’s okay to attack US Naval vessels without ramifications now?

    Respecting their wishes in not being called that is a great first step.

    Doesn’t the US have a navy so big that the next 3 biggest navies combined aren’t as big or something insane like that?

    The article itself doesn’t really explain much. Apparently one destroyer managed to hold off 9 hours worth of attacks and the US has mostly been using SAM platforms to shoot down missiles but nothing about how Houthis could actually achieve anything.

    I would even cheer for the Houthis if they were fighting to support Palestine even if it is hopeless but they are just doing Somali pirates 2.0 from the look of things.

      The egregious cost of interceptors compared to the missiles themself make it possible for even Yemen to drain US military assets in the region.

    I saw it coming. Just watch it play out. Yemen will make the US miss its losses in Iraq and Afghanistan.
