Recently, the United States, in order to protect the security of merchant ships in the Red Sea, announced a list of "joint fleets at sea". However, this action was quickly slapped in the face by the Middle Eastern countries. A total of 10 countries are participating in the list, but with the exception of Bahrain and Seychelles, the remaining countries are considered to be old Western countries. The Houthis take this seriously and have said they will take a tough push back against the countries that target them. However, what makes people laugh and cry is that the boat that the United States took this time was actually a grass platform team.
The day after the United States released the list, the Spanish Ministry of Defense publicly stated that it would not participate in the Red Sea escort operation for the time being. This undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the United States and made them lose face. And Italy and Germany, which are still on the list, although they have said that they will send ** over, and even have determined the name of the ship, but there has been no movement for a long time. In addition, Norway, Canada and the Netherlands said they would participate, but they did so in a very special way, sending only a small number of people, and none of them numbered more than 10 people. This makes me wonder if these countries are supporting the United States or humiliating the United StatesIn this case, I can't help but worry that Britain and France will be angry, because their ** has long been in the waters near Yemen. It can be seen that the US operation this time is completely a grass platform, and the Houthis are probably going crazy with laughter.
The United States is not only making a fool of itself on the list, but also making people feel ridiculous in its actions. In addition to the United States' own **, in addition to the two ships of Britain and France, there was also a group of officers who "came to the scene to guide". Such a sea fleet is really too "cowhide", it is simply a grass platform team.
This situation has aroused doubts from the outside world, and even international shipping operators have begun to ponder what else this coalition can do other than launch missilesFrankly speaking, from my personal observations, the United States has not played any substantive role at all, except for becoming an international joke. On the one hand, even if America's allies are genuinely prepared to help, this will only serve as a symptom and will not solve the root cause of the problem. Because as long as Israel conducts military operations in Gaza, the Houthis will not give up. On the other hand, don't think that the Houthis are just a local organization, but in fact they control the population, economy, and military on a par with the average medium-sized state, and with the support of Iran, it is impossible for the United States to use its naval fleet to bring the Houthis to its knees. In addition, ** also reported that the United States used $2 million worth of anti-aircraft missiles to intercept $2,000 drones, which is simply a meaningless gamble. It can be seen that no matter whether the United States is short of money or rich, it cannot afford such huge losses. This explains why America's allies are stalling and avoiding engagement.
To sum up, the actions of the United States Maritime Combined Fleet can be described as self-inflicted, and they themselves have created such a situation, and they can only cry gloomily themselves. Therefore, it is really difficult to say who will win in this wrestling. After all, the Houthis are not just an easy group to deal with, and their strength and backing should not be underestimated. It remains to be seen how the situation develops in the end. But what is certain is that the United States' joint fleet operation at sea this time is destined to be nothing more than a farce.
The operation of the United States Combined Fleet at Sea has caused many controversies and questions in the Middle East. This action not only declared the embarrassment of the United States itself, but also prevaricated and evaded its allies. The Houthis, the targets of the operation, expressed contempt and ridicule for the operation. The ridiculous and sad thing about the whole operation is that, on the one hand, the United States is almost unable to achieve any substantive goals with the help of the grass platform team of this coalition operation;On the other hand, the strength and status of the Houthis also made the operation useless. The U.S. action is destined to become an international laughing stock without any real results. Regardless of the eventual situation, this operation has fully exposed America's self-inflicted and arrogant conceit.
