The Houthi style of play can be said to be pinching the "seven inches".
The Houthis blockade of the Red Sea, Israel is in a hurry!The United States is also in a hurry!America's allies are also in a hurry!
If Israel wants to fight the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it will certainly not be able to hold on to it by relying on Israel alone, and the United States will not be able to make up for it because of the blockade of the Red SeaThere is also the fact that it costs money to fight a war, and the Houthis blockade the Red Sea, so that Israel's goods cannot get out, ** is not smooth, how can Israel have the money to fight?
Therefore, the United States must ensure the smooth passage of the Red Sea.
However, the United States has no way to take the Houthis again!
The Houthis attack a cargo ship with drones, you take missiles to hit drones, it's like a cannon hitting mosquitoes, 1.5 million missiles for 10,000 drones, the price is too great!Can you afford to fight?
Moreover, the Houthis are really difficult to deal with, unless the United States sends troops to Yemen and fully controls Yemen, but the cost is too great, and the US military will not be able to deal with it with fewer US soldiers, because the Houthis are fighting guerrilla warfare all year round.
If the United States sends a large number of American troops into Yemen, will it still be able to support Ukraine?
If Ukraine is destroyed by Russia, if Russia continues to attack NATO, will the United States rush to the rescue?
If the United States goes to Europe's aid, we will have the final say in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea
But if the Houthis are not dealt with, Israel will be defeated, and the United States will have no grip in the Middle East, and the dollar and oil will be loosened, and the hegemony of the dollar will be a bit dangerous!
Now, the United States is a bit of a stumbling side!The United States is now incapable of fighting on multiple fronts!
Recently, the US Secretary of Defense just announced that the ten-nation coalition would escort the Red Sea shipping lanes, but he didn't expect Spain to announce its withdrawal in the evening, which is a bit embarrassing!
The United States is not what it used to be!
