Stormy! With the escalation of the Red Sea war and the US-UK air strikes on Yemen stirring up chaos in the Middle East, where will this storm go? In just 24 hours, Yemen's capital, Sana'a, was hit by 12 intensive airstrikes in Sana'a, Taiz and Hajjah provinces, with military and communications targets at the epicenter. This is undoubtedly the latest storm in the Middle East, and people can't help but evoke four words: anger and shame!
However, the precursors of this storm date back some time ago. A number of American and British cargo ships sailing in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden were attacked by the Houthis, the British freighter "Rubimar" was severely damaged, and the American freighter was also unfortunately hit, and the freighter "Alander" under the British company was attacked by Houthi missiles, and the ships and crews were unimaginable. This series of events directly ignited the anger of Britain and the United States, who no longer tolerate the Houthis, which are seen as provocations.
However, the question arises, can the Anglo-American bombing campaign really have a substantial impact on the Houthis? In fact, the Houthis have long been accustomed to Saudi air strikes, and they have studied ways to deal with air strikes in a targeted manner, and the bombing of Britain and the United States seems to be fierce, but in fact they are "losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds".
One can't help but wonder if the bombardment carried out by Britain and the United States against the Houthis is really determined to solve the problem, or is it just to show face? After all, from an economic point of view, American precision-guided bombs cost up to $30,000 each, and fighter jets cost more than $10,000 per hour. Moreover, the cost of such a bombing campaign is relatively low for the Houthis, and will Britain and the United States really be able to reap substantial benefits in this military operation?
What is even more worrying is whether this Anglo-American intransigence is just a matter of dealing with Houthi attacks on merchant ships. What are the underlying reasons behind this? Some commentators believe that the United States may be so tough because the Houthi attack hit the soft underbelly of its hegemony, which makes the United States unwilling to use force to maintain its image.
However, looking at the situation in the Middle East, it remains to be seen whether this Anglo-American bombing can really solve the problem. What is more noteworthy is whether this move by the United States means that it is about to step down from the altar and enter a more complicated situation? Are there risks and benefits involved in the rest of the Middle East?
As the fighting in the Red Sea escalates, we wonder what kind of far-reaching impact this storm will have in the Middle East. What exactly is the plan of the United States, and why does it dare not make a "big move"? The situation in the Middle East is changing, what kind of ending will this drama deduce? Stay tuned, more unknown mysteries are about to be revealed, so stay tuned!
