Very recommendable!
The Houthis have repeatedly threatened and attacked one of the most important shipping lanes in the world!
This is another colossal failure of the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President! The US failed to build an effective alliance of the willing among Western and Arab countries to counter the threat of the Houthis!
"The Houthis now pose a strategic threat with global implications for the United States and its allies. The United States and its allies have failed to prevent Iran from strengthening the Houthis’ military capabilities since 2015. The Houthis have grown from a small, militia in Yemen’s northern mountains into a major strategic threat with ties to multiple US adversaries.
The US has sought to “avoid escalation” in response to dramatic Houthi escalations since October 2023 by taking a series of reactive half-measures that have failed to accomplish decisive effects or materially degrade Houthi military capabilities. The Houthis are undeterred and have collected significant insight into the operation of US defenses against their attack systems of all varieties. The Houthis will almost certainly exploit this insight to improve the efficacy of their own attacks and provide it to other US adversaries. ...
Iran supplies the Houthis by smuggling drones and missiles, often in pieces, both by sea and over land. The US and its allies have attempted to interdict these supplies since 2015. US efforts have had only very limited success, however, due to the distances involved and the limited American resources committed to the interdiction mission. Smuggling has continued during the current war, with large dhows, fishing boats, and six large cargo vessels that the UN inspections mission failed to inspect bringing hundreds of truckloads worth of uninspected goods into Yemen. ...
The United States only responded with strikes into Yemen on January 12, 2024, after 26 Houthi attacks targeting international shipping and nine attacks involving US and allied warships. ...
The Houthis have conducted 111 attacks targeting or involving US and allied warships in the Red Sea region. ..."
