One of America’s role in indirect supporting Israel’s war against its enemies is this new focus on attacking the Houthis with the navy since they attacked some of the ships a few times since October 7th. Ever since then Israel and America have been utterly humiliated by the Houthis with the supper carriers running away and a song made to mock Israel as they took their ship.

The Houthis is the biggest L for the armed forces in this 23 year war in the middle east. Well now the Navy has finally explained how they are failing to attack the Houthis and its that America’s fleet cannot take them alone and we need the “international community” to help take the Houthis down.

The US Navy’s counter-Houthi mission will not be enough on its own to stop the Iran-backed rebels from attacking vulnerable merchant ships, the admiral overseeing operations in the Middle East said this week.

Vice Adm. George Wikoff, the commander of US Naval Forces Central Command, said that it will take more than force and firepower to deal with the Houthis. Rather, Washington and its allies must come up with an alternative way to apply pressure on the group.

“The solution is not going to come at the end of a weapon system,” Wikoff said Wednesday at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. “It’s going to be the international community.”

The solution to stop people with bottle rockets is to go in a multination years long forever war that will end in nothing because America can’t beat them alone. We beat the Somali pirates with ease, why are we struggling against the Houthis who are just as the same in terms of technology and structure?

Well the current strategy the Navy is doing is that our ships just sit there and fire at missiles launched by the Houthis for the last 8 months even though they know its not working since they are still sending rockets after we shoot down the previous rockets.

For over eight months, US forces have been working to defend key shipping lanes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden from relentless Houthi attacks. The rebels have been using one-way attack drones, naval drones, and anti-ship missiles to threaten commercial vessels and American warships deployed in the region.

US warships and aircraft have expended hundreds of munitions to regularly intercept Houthi missiles and drones and to strike the rebels in Yemen, targeting assets like weapons, launchers, and radar sites.

Top US officials have repeatedly said that these efforts are intended to strip the Houthis of their ability to conduct attacks. But as of this week, the rebels continue to launch missiles and drones at the surrounding waters.

“We have certainly degraded their capability. There’s no doubt about that,” Wikoff said. “However, have we stopped them? No.”

Biden just wants to keep doing this whole pointless defensive strategy as his own Admirals are demanding that we turn this into a forever war.

Wikoff said it has been difficult to find a center of gravity for the Houthis that the US can hold at risk over time, making it a challenge to apply a classic deterrence policy in this scenario.

Right now, he said, the idea is for the Navy to maintain the status quo to allow other areas of government and the international community to kick in and pressure the Houthis to stop their attacks.

“This is a global problem — the entire globe is impacted by this problem,” he said. “We can certainly try with some warships and some sailors and some folks trying their best to preserve maritime security. But this is going to require a global solution.”

“The more players on the field that can get involved in the diplomatic and that piece of this, the better off I think we’ll be in terms of the odds of success,” Wikoff added.

America is going to gain nothing if we make Yemen another part of our forever wars in the Middle East. Nothing in that country is at stake for America other than ass kissing the Saudis with selling them bombs, the only ones who benefit are Saudi Arabia and the gulf states. NATO just gets more brown people in boats that will be forever our problem.

Its even an insult to our soldiers since they have to sit in our ships and watch as they get humiliated by people that are technologically inferior.

Yemen is never our business and we should ignore them for the rest of time.
