The U.S. has once again spread disinformation: describing Houthi attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea and unabashedly pointing their backs at China. In this bizarre scene, they depicted a thrilling scene - the waves of the Red Sea, the strong sea breeze raised the waves, and in the night, the Houthis followed them like a shadow, launching a surprise attack on the US ** ship. The lights on the ships were particularly dim in the night, and the sudden attack caused chaos in the entire sea.
It was all like a tense movie scene, and China was portrayed as the mastermind behind the conspiracy. In fact, this is nothing more than a canvas of bizarre lies woven by the United States to confuse the public and create tensions.
The Houthis are increasingly aggressive in their operations against U.S. forces in the Red Sea. In support of Hamas, the Houthis have taken a series of aggressive measures since October, beginning with the seizure of Israeli ships crossing the Red Sea. Vessels that fly the Israeli flag and belong to or are operated by Israeli companies have become the subject of law enforcement. This move is like encircling Wei to save Zhao, because Israel is a small country, the industrial chain is relatively incomplete, and a large number of essential goods need to be imported, and at the same time, it needs to export to maintain remittances. Israel's ports serve as transshipment hubs and rely on passing ships for their profit, and the Houthis' actions have dealt a major blow to Israel's economy while providing strong support to Hamas.
It is the US ** ship that is responsible for protecting Israeli merchant ships. Inevitably, the Houthis and the US military got into a confrontation. In early October, the Houthis attacked US vessels for the first time, and then continued to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea without fear of US warnings. It is worth mentioning that the anti-ship missile used by the Houthis was extremely powerful, and even successfully and accurately hit a Libya-flagged merchant ship in the service of Israel. This incident opened a new chapter in human history, marking the first time that mankind successfully used anti-ship ballistic missiles in real combat and achieved precision strikes on targets.
The U.S. Navy's countermeasures in the face of the threat from the Houthis have been limited to shooting down drones. However, in this confrontation between local armed forces, the US military did not launch a large-scale counterattack, but chose to form an escort coalition to counterbalance the activities of the Houthis. The US Secretary of Defense said"Operation Prosperity Guardian"Ten countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain, are involved to address security challenges in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. However, the appeal of the United States has gradually waned, Spain has announced its withdrawal, and eight other countries such as the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Bahrain have participated, but the population of Tongue Ser is only 100,000 and the military strength is only 800.
In the face of the international coalition countries that have joined the US escort operation in the Red Sea, the Houthis have threatened to carry out attacks on their ships. The challenges in the Red Sea have forced the United States to engage with China. First, the United States spread rumors that the Houthis attacked Israeli cargo ships, and merchant ships requested assistance from the Chinese Navy, but they were refused.
And now, the United States** has spread rumors that the reason for the setback of the US military in the Red Sea is not the Houthis, but China's manipulation behind it. This bizarre view is unbelievable, and why would the United States go to such lengths to tie the Red Sea conflict to China?The reason is that the U.S. military failed to ensure the safety of merchant ships in the face of the threat of fire from the Houthis, showing its powerlessness and weakness in this situation.
In the vast waters of the Red Sea, the Houthis flew through the air like skilful dancers with their drones, and U.S. destroyers on the battlefield managed to intercept 38 drones and several missiles, but each missile used to strike the Houthis cost up to $2.1 million per missile, and these Houthi drones were worth only a few thousand dollars. Although the missile blast successfully destroyed the Houthi drones, it did not effectively protect the merchant ships, resulting in more than six merchant ships with close ties to Israel being attacked by Houthi drones in the Red Sea.
Looking back 20 years ago, the US military had never experienced such humiliation. At the beginning of the 21st century, the United States confronted Iraq with its left hand and Afghanistan with its right hand. But now, when faced with local forces like the Houthis, the U.S. military appears powerless. What is shocking is that instead of taking effective countermeasures, the U.S. military wants to unite other countries to form an alliance to counter the situation. What is even more surprising is that the United States is still interested in engaging in dialogue with the Houthis in an attempt to peacefully resolve tensions in the Red Sea, which has caused the world to witness a shocking drama in which the United States is now even in a difficult position to maintain the basic safety of Israeli merchant ships.
Against such an international background, the United States will inevitably need to look for suitable opportunities to save face. Therefore, some analysts have pointed out that the defeat of the US military in the Red Sea is not only a confrontation with the Houthis, but more of the influence and intervention of China, a great power behind it. This also means that the loss of the United States in the Red Sea is actually the result of a confrontation with China.
In addition, the United States is not only trying to involve China in the maelstrom of conflict in the Red Sea, but also trying to blame China for the masterminds behind the Houthis. Like an artist weaving a story, they portray China as the protagonist in the dispute, trying to arouse empathy for China among the United States military coalition countries, hoping that China will play an active role in preventing Yemen's Houthi attacks on international shipping.
However, this rhetoric is laughable. Chinese merchant ships were not attacked, and they had nothing to do with the Houthis. The current rumors in the United States are flying in the sky, like fireworks coming at random, but China will never be swayed by the United States. The Red Sea conflict is a hole dug by the United States itself, so let the United States solve it on its own.
Once the United States is caught up in a military assault on the Houthis and is held back by the problems of Ukraine and Israel, it is uncertain whether the United States, which is mired in a US debt crisis, will be able to hold on. Once weakened, the countries of the US military alliance will be even more invulnerable to the solicitation of the United States, and the international prestige of the United States will suffer a serious blow.
