Britain and the United States are likely to intervene in the Red Sea crisis by force and carry out a large-scale strike against the Houthis!

Once the Red Sea war breaks out, it means that the entire Middle East will be completely ignited, and at the same time, the world situation will also usher in major changes!

Now that the world has entered 2024, we do not see any signs of easing, on the contrary, the world may move in a more tense direction. Looking at several hot spots, not only is it not cooling, but it is getting warmer, as is the case with the situation in the Red Sea.

A few days ago, four speedboats of the Yemeni Houthis were preparing to attack a merchant ship of Denmark's Maersk Airlines in the Red Sea, and were discovered by the United States, so the United States launched an attack on the four speedboats of the Yemeni Houthis, sank three of them, and caused the death of ten armed personnel of the Yemeni Houthis, and only one speedboat of the Yemeni Houthis fled back.

This incident is the first direct confrontation between the US military and the Yemeni Houthis in the Red Sea region, and it naturally makes the outside world very concerned about how the Yemeni Houthis will retaliate against the US military in the future. As for the U.S. military, the U.S. military has carried out a direct attack on the Yemeni Houthis in the Red Sea region, so will the U.S. military take greater military action next?

According to the British Daily Telegraph, sources in the Pentagon, as well as British Defense Secretary Shapps, have announced that Britain and the United States will work together to take military action against the Houthis in Yemen. It can be said that any military action is prepared, which may lead the United Kingdom and the United States to fight against the Houthis in Yemen next.

Previously, we analyzed that the United States has not dared to fight against the Houthis in Yemen because it is afraid of getting into the quagmire of the Middle East, but now, the situation is beginning to change. That is, Britain is negotiating with the United States to prepare a strike against the Houthis in Yemen.

This is because the United States and the United Kingdom have found that without a direct military strike against Yemen's Houthi rebels, there is no guarantee of shipping security in the Red Sea region. Relying on the British and American factions to escort the Red Sea alone, there is no door, so this situation makes the British and American preparations for a more fierce attack on the Yemeni Houthis.

What kind of blow will be inflicted next?Britain and the United States did not say anything for the time being, because they will issue a statement next, and they will not mention how the specific military operation will be carried out. However, it is not excluded that the US military will carry out air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

Then that means that next, the military confrontation between Britain and the United States and the Houthis in Yemen will escalate in a spiral.

Next, the U.S. military may carry out air strikes on the Yemeni Houthis, using their air superiority to attack the shortcomings of the Yemeni Houthis, because Britain and the United States themselves have strong naval and air forces, and the naval and air forces are highly mobile, and they will not let their own personnel fall into the ground to compete with each other. Doing so can greatly reduce your own **, but there are actually a lot of disadvantages of doing so.

First, it will lead to further escalation of confrontation, and if it is attacked by Britain and the United States, the Yemeni Houthis will definitely retaliate.

Second, it is impossible to stop Yemen's Houthi forces from carrying out all kinds of attacks on the Red Sea region by relying on air and sea strikes alone. Purely through air strikes and sea strikes, the root of Yemen's Houthi armed forces cannot be harmed. Therefore, the Houthis are based on land, so they can naturally launch new strikes frequently.

If Britain and the United States send ground forces into Yemen, they will really get bogged down in a ground war. And if Britain and the United States really want to carry out air strikes against the Yemeni Houthis, and carry out naval attacks on the Yemeni Houthis in the Red Sea, then this will lead to a sharp escalation of the confrontation between the British and the United States and the Yemeni Houthis.

Yemen's Houthis will also carry out direct attacks on Britain and the United States, because the missiles and drones fired by the Yemeni Houthis shot down by the British and American navies were all aimed at merchant ships. Britain and the United States shot him down during the escort, but next, because if the Houthis retaliate against Britain and the United States, it will inevitably hit the British and American **.

Obviously, this will make the situation in the entire Red Sea region more tense, especially since the Houthis in Yemen have not ruled out such intentions to attack Britain and the United States. In addition, there is a great possibility of striking at US military bases in the Middle East.

If Britain and the United States insist on using military means to attack the Houthis in Yemen, this will only make the confrontation between Britain and the United States and the Houthis prolonged and will become more and more intense.

As a matter of fact, as far as the United States is concerned, there is obviously another way to resolve the Red Sea crisis, that is, the United States can exert strong pressure on Israel to stop its military operations in the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea crisis can be resolved immediately.

However, the United States does not use this mild means to solve the problem, but wants to use such drastic means to solve the problem, and to solve the problem by military means, which will only make things more complicated in the end!

In short, there is a high possibility that Britain and the United States will intervene in the Red Sea crisis by force, so let's wait and see!
