The US imperialists are on fire!The Houthis are stirring up the situation, the allies of 11 countries are gathering, and there is another war in IraqThis time, it was a real stunner and reminded me of that sensational Iraqi moment. Don't worry, let's lift the veil on this international storm together.
It all started with an anti-ship missile attack on a merchant ship by the Houthis in Yemen. The fact that this group of guys focused on the merchant ships related to Israel was nothing short of a spark of war. Yemen's Houthi rebels control the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a geographical advantage that puts them at the helm of the entire Red Sea. Once the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is closed, ships from all over the world will have to circle around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, and the time and shipping costs are no joke.
Why did the Houthis attack Israeli merchant ships?It turned out that the Israeli drama in Gaza was a man-made disaster. The Arab world is crying out for condemnation, but no one dares to stand up. That's when Iran and Turkey decided to muddy the waters. Turkey ** Erdogan wants to take the opportunity to gain prestige and become the boss of the Islamic world, so he has been blockading Israel in the direction of the Mediterranean. Iran is also itching, and this Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become the best stage. They fantasize about putting a veil of mystery over the Arab world by striking at Israel.
But the question is, how to fight?The U.S. carrier strike group has been eyeing the Persian Gulf. If the action is too big, Iran will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Therefore, the smartest way is to find a ** person. It just so happens that the Houthis in Yemen have become the best option for Iran. Iran supports them, and the Houthis want to expand their influence. The Houthis are Yemen's leading armed forces, and if they can take this opportunity to attack Israel and support the anti-Israeli struggle in Gaza, it will be a great deal for their prestige and influence in the Arab world.
As a result, Iran provided all kinds of **, Yemen's Houthi armed forces professionally blocked the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and attacked incoming and outgoing merchant ships. This move directly hit Israel and the United States in the sore spot. Israel relies on imports for almost more than 90 per cent of its resources, and if the sea passage is cut off, it will be a catastrophe. At the critical moment, some major eastern powers also took advantage of the fire to loot and announced the suspension of the Red Sea route, which made matters worse.
So, Israel is in a hurry, and the United States is even more anxious. The main artery of the economy was cut off, collapsed, and in the end, the United States, the pro-son, had to be transfused. But the United States is also full of self-confidence, and actually negotiated with the Houthis, saying that as long as the strait is not blocked, the United States will not interfere in the civil war between the Houthis and the Yemeni army. In fact, the Yemeni ** army and the Saudi coalition are not opponents of the Houthis at all, and the United States cannot support it no matter how much it supports.
Before the negotiations had even begun, they broke down. There is no need to talk about it, the United States formed an 11-nation coalition army, codenamed "Prosperity Guardian", and went straight to the Red Sea. This coalition is simply an elite team armed to the teeth, with American Aegis, Japanese frigates, British destroyers, and Israeli frigates, all in a chorus. But what do the Houthis have in Yemen?With Iranian-backed anti-ship missiles in their hands, although not many, they are enough to terrify the entire coalition force. This is an asymmetric war, the cannon hits the small mosquito, but the problem is that this mosquito is also an old fritter.
As a result, the Houthis took the lead in attacking, and although they did not hit, the scene was quite thrilling. At this time, the confrontation between the United States and the Houthis is not a joke, and neither side can lose. In fact, the Houthis have been secretly preparing for a long time, and their asymmetric approach to the United States has put the United States in a dilemma in the face of a huge coalition force.
For the United States to solve its problems, it cannot rely only on the Navy. Landing operations are the most thorough way, but they are also the most expensive, and there are uncertainties. In the event that the US soldiers are killed in battle, the international prestige will be a complete slap in the face. Therefore, at present, the United States can only use intelligence and air superiority to infiltrate and buy the Houthis through various means to obtain high-level intelligence. This is what the United States is good at, and the cost is relatively low.
In general, this international storm can be described as chaotic, and the countries and forces involved have joined one after another, forming a complex international picture. But from China's point of view, this is another change in the world pattern. The United States, though powerful, is not invincible, and this predicament shows that their global dominance is facing a huge challenge. Looking at this storm, one can't help but be reminded of the words of the ancient Chinese: "Guarding the clumsy return to the garden is a waste of immortal power." Perhaps, for a strong country, it is the longest-term wisdom to remain stable and not meddle in disputes. After all, the world is unpredictable and the situation is changing, and only by standing by by waiting for the opportunity can we be invincible.
