In this issue, I want to talk to you about the combat strength of the U.S. military.
In other words, the U.S. military has really been ruined. Two days ago, the Houthis said that they had hit an American **. This ** ship, together with several other US ** ships, escorted US merchant ships. Then, as they walked to the Gulf of Aden and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Houthi missiles came at them.
As soon as the United States saw it, they immediately began to intercept it. But it's a pity that it wasn't completely stopped, and one of the ** was still hit. The two protected merchant ships, seeing this situation, quickly turned around and ran away.
The world's first-class army was unexpectedly hit by a third-rate army, and this is still a problem. The U.S. military hurriedly jumped out to explain that everyone should not listen to the nonsense of the Houthis, they fired 3 missiles, one missed, and 2 were stopped. The U.S. military, both in personnel and ships, suffered no losses at all. The Houthis are all rumors.
But the question is, if you don't hit, what are you running American merchant ships and shouldn't you keep going? Obviously, this statement of the US military is somewhat inconsistent with their actions. Moreover, this will also give the outside world the impression that the United States has backed down on the Houthis, which will hurt the prestige of the US military.
Of course, there are also opinions that the reason for the U-turn is simple, it is not cost-effective to continue walking. First, the cost of interception is too high, intercepting two or three missiles is barely affordable, but if there are more, it will be too much of a loss.
Second, it's too risky, in case you don't stop it next. The so-called "long-term defense will be lost" is impossible for the US military to guarantee that it will stop 100 percent of the incoming missiles. For ordinary people around the world, it is normal for the US military not to be hit by the Houthis; But if it is hit, it will be more detrimental to prestige and morale than the US military to back down a little. Therefore, the US military did not continue to take risks.
This statement is logically reasonable. At present, there are only unilateral statements by the Houthis, and it is really difficult to confirm the truth of this matter. However, in my personal opinion, I still tend to favor the Houthis to hit, for the reasons already said, no more nonsense.
Of course, regardless of whether it hits or not, this U-turn of the US merchant ship has greatly doubted the true combat effectiveness of the US military. Since the early morning of the 12th of this month, the US military has carried out nearly 10 air strikes on the Houthis. But this incident shows that the US military is simply unable to effectively contain the Houthis, so that they can still attack the United States on a large scale.
It can be said that the US military tossed back and forth for half a month, with little success. With such an outcome, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the allies of the United States to continue to firmly believe in their strength.
In addition, if this news is true, the US military will not even be able to defend against the Houthis, let alone China. Once there is a conflict between China and the United States, China's Dongfeng missiles and YJM missiles will be smashed down on the United States, and I am afraid that the scene is unimaginable.
There is a saying, "It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know it." "It's all about the decline of the U.S. military and the regression of strength, but everyone has no real evidence. At this moment, it can be regarded as catching the cowardly side of the US military.
As the saying goes: How much combat power does the U.S. military have? The Red Sea reveals its true identity with one blow. The Houthis are still unstoppable, let alone the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
