[ColonelCassad] Ship groups of the US Navy and NATO countries off the coast of Yemen and in the Persian Gulf region.

Yesterday the United States announced the start of an operation to protect shipping in the Red Sea. There is no talk of a ground invasion of Yemen yet.
Why would we bother to actually invade Yemen?
The Houthis, meanwhile, continue to strike commercial ships in the Red Sea and say they are not deterred by US threats. Moreover, according to the Houthi leader, a direct war with the United States and Israel is what the Houthis have dreamed of from the very beginning.
No doubt. Saddam Hussein did, too, as did Al Qaeda, and now look at how many of them unexpectedly found themselves in Hell instead of Paradise. And while they talk of decentralized operations, they’ll never again have what they did before 9/11.
For now, major shipping companies have stopped voyages through the Red Sea and Suez Canal due to security concerns. Israel is suffering huge losses because of this. Russian ships calmly pass through the strait, the Houthis do not touch them. Just like the Chinese.

So let's wish the Houthis more well-aimed volleys.
