Everyone on the earth knows that the United States loves to bully people in groups!However, judging from several wars, even if the United States formed a group, it still did not reap any benefits. Recently, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued a statement in the Middle East: The United States will launch a joint operation with its allies in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to "prosper and defend."It gives people the impression that the United States is going to war with a military power, but the fact is that the United States is dealing with a tribal armed force - the Houthi guerrillas!However, it is clear that the appeal of the United States has seriously declined. When it was cleaning up Saddam Hussein, the United States responded to every call and formed a huge military bloc to defeat Saddam Hussein so that he had no power to fight back. But look at the present, the allies of the United States are obviously not enthusiastic, and the United States is even suspected of forcibly joining the group. At the beginning, the list announced by the United States was still relatively strong, with a total of 14 countries, namely: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Turkey, as well as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. However, this list is inherently flawed. The first 6 countries are not a big problem, but Turkey has quite a big opinion on Israel because of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, so it is unlikely to agree;The latter 7 countries are Arab countries, and they have also been **Israel** the people of Gaza, so they may join the US "Prosperity Defense" program?Sure enough, the United States was quickly slapped in the face. In the official list just released, the number of countries participating in the "Operation Prosperity Guardian" in the United States, which has decreased by 4, has become 10!However, this also seems to make sense, after all, this is also an international coalition, and the Americans have finally saved face. However, if you analyze it carefully, you will find a very interesting insider. Among these 10 countries, five countries - the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Bahrain are still in the previous list;The Netherlands, Norway, Canada, Spain, and Seychelles are all late to join. If you compare it, you will find that Israel is not on the list!That's funny, isn't it?While U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin claimed that it was "an important transnational security move" because of the "escalating reckless attacks" from the Houthis that "threaten the free flow of commerce and the safety of innocent seafarers". 
However, according to statements issued by the Houthis, they are targeting Israel to get the Israelis to stop attacking Gaza, not all international merchant ships. So, Austin was clearly putting gold on his face. However, Israel does not participate in Operation Prosperity Guardian, which is too faceless for the Americans!There are also Germany and Turkey, as well as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, which are six Middle Eastern countries. In fact, it is somewhat surprising that Germany did not participate. It is completely reasonable that the five countries in the Middle East will not participate. Because what Israel is doing is challenging the interests of Middle Eastern countries, and it has also made several major Middle Eastern powers lose face, so how can they help the United States to deal with the Houthis who support Palestine?Even from an economic point of view, they will not participate. Because the United States has always wanted to lower international oil prices, it has repeatedly asked OPEC+ to increase production, but has not received a response. Now, the Houthis are making such a fuss, and several large international shipping companies have announced that they will not go from the Red Sea, but from the Cape of Good Hope. This adds about 15 to 20 days to the ship's arrival time in Europe. 
At the same time, freight and insurance premiums are all **, so of course international oil prices will start to rise!Therefore, several oil-producing countries in the Middle East may be secretly having fun, so how can they follow the United States to participate in the "Operation Prosperity Guardian"!
Of course, there are exceptions, and Bahrain still participates in Operation Prosperity Defenders. However, there is also a special reason for this, because the US Fifth Fleet is stationed in Bahrain, so Bahrain, a small country, has no choice but to follow the Americans to play soy sauce. However, Bahrain has a population of only 1.5 million, which is not as large as Gaza's, and the United States has joined in Rabali just to make up the numbers. There is another country that is even funnier, and even the qualifications for adding soy sauce are not enough!That country is Seychelles!It is an archipelagic country located in the Indian Ocean in East Africa, with its capital Victoria, with a land area of 455 square kilometers and a population of only about 100,000. 
What's even more ridiculous is that the few patrol boats it has are basically gifts from other countries. However, the distance between the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Seychelles is about 2,000 kilometers, so even if those small boats are full of fuel, it is difficult to sail to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, let alone carry out military missions!From this point of view, is the so-called "Operation Prosperity Guardian" carried out by the United States quite boring, this is a rabble, and the main force can only be borne by the Americans.
Unexpectedly, this angered Iran. Iran's defense minister, Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, warned that any transnational action would face serious challenges, and that "the United States would be in great trouble if it took such irrational measures," he even threatened. No one can move forward on our turf. ”
Footage released by Iran** during the seizure of a U.S. patrol boat shows U.S. GIs kneeling and holding their headsIt seems that the Iranians are still very tough, because they even dared to seize the US patrol boat before, how can they be accustomed to the "Operation Prosperity Guardian"!Yemen's Houthi rebels are even more domineering, with a military spokesman saying that if the United States can form an international coalition, it will be the most despicable alliance in history. Houthi leader Abdullikal-Househ also warned that if someone crosses the border, he will take countermeasures, including direct involvement in Gaza. Moreover, the Houthis did what they said, and just now, two more Israeli-related cargo ships were attacked!
One of them was an oil tanker, named "Atlantic Swan";The other is a container ship, called "MSC Clara". These two freighters were attacked because they believed in the United States too much. They may think that the US aircraft carriers have arrived, and there are still so many ** in the Red Sea, and the Houthis cannot do anything to them. However, the reality is so cruel that even if the United States really forms the "Operation Prosperity Guardian", I am afraid that it will not be able to completely stop the Houthis!Recently, according to global online news, the Houthi leaders.
1. Mohammed, a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, said that the United States tried to establish channels of communication with the Houthis, but the Houthis refused to communicate with the United States, saying that "communication with the United States has made us lose face." 
Screenshot of CCTV news reportThis time, the face of the Americans is embarrassed!The initiative to ask for communication failed, but was categorically rejected by others, and the United States' policy of maximum pressure completely failed!
