Recently, the HouthisArmedFrequent attacks on Israeli ships and Western merchant ships carrying goods for them in the Red Sea have sparked global tensions. In response to the HouthisArmedThe United States urgently deployed two Burke-class ships to the Red SeaDestroyers, and shot down 38 Houthis in a rowArmedofDrones。However, despite the significant results, butU.S. militaryThe excessive consumption of military spending makes it difficult to continue, which prompts the United States to rush to form an "escort alliance" to relieve its own pressure.
Against this background, the United States announced the creation of an "escort alliance" with a number of countries, aimed at bringing togetherInternationalforces to contain the HouthisArmedactivities. However, this operation, which was originally intended to reduce pressure, faced a dilemma: merchant ships were rarely willing to pass through the Red Sea because of the HouthisArmedThe Red Sea has become a dangerous zone. Therefore, even if there is an "escort alliance", if there are no merchant ships in need of escort, the alliance will lose its meaning.

According to statistics,U.S. military38 aircraft were intercepted aloneDronesIt cost nearly $80 million. Although the United States has the highest military spending in the world, in the face of such attrition,U.S. militaryThe pressure becomes unbearable.
HouthisArmedEven if the United States succeeds in mobilizing the whole world, the Houthi saidArmedNor will it stopMilitaryLet's go. Their demands are for an Israeli ceasefire and for humanitarian supplies to be brought into Gaza from the Egyptian Rafah crossing. This request is not excessive, since the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a common concern of the Arab world. However, the United States and other Western countries have clearly favored Israel, which has become a key factor in the tension in Gaza. HouthisArmedSupporting Hamas by launching a "ship raid" has become the only way to get Western countries to really pay attention to Gaza.
COSCO is a large shipping company in China, and its merchant ships are in the Red Sea andSuez CanalIt was maintained during the voyagePeace。This situation is a cause for concern, especially in the context of tensions in the Red Sea. A Chinese freighter was spotted passing through the Red Sea, reminiscent of events 30 years ago, when a Chinese merchant ship named the Milky Way was seized by the U.S. Navy in the Arabian Sea, and the two sides engaged in a struggle. Today, the Galaxy is once again sailing on the Red Sea, becoming the only ship capable of crossing this sea blockade by the West. This coincidence is impressive, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.
The United States can resolve its confrontation with the Houthis by abandoning its biased policies toward Israel. All-out efforts have been made to bring about a ceasefire between Palestine and Israel and to resume humanitarian assistance to Gaza, which is expected to put an end to the "ship raid war" once and for all. However, the United States is too arrogant and unwilling to negotiate with the Houthis, so it can only use sky-high missiles to "fight attrition" with the Houthis, and drag its allies into the water one by one.
This article reports on the situation in which the United States was attacked by the Houthis in the Red Sea, as well as the successive downing of the Houthis by the US NavyDronesHowever, due to the high attrition of the war, the United States decided to form an "escort alliance" to reduce its own pressure. However, due to the HouthisArmedThe reluctance of merchant ships to pass through the Red Sea made the "convoy alliance" meaningless. The article notes that the HouthisArmedusedDroneslow cost, whileU.S. militaryThe interceptor missiles are expensive, resulting in unequal military consumption. HouthisArmedThe political demands are for an Israeli ceasefire and to allow humanitarian supplies to enter the Gaza Strip, and the bias of Western countries such as the United States in favor of Israel has become a key factor in tensions. The article also mentions that COSCO's merchant ships were maintained during the voyage in the Red SeaPeace, which raises concerns. Finally, the article calls on the United States to re-examine its approach to the Houthi issue.
