Situation in the Red Sea (Houthi Thread)

First photo of the burning "True Confidence" appeared. What's important to note is that the last few ships that were actually hit (Rubymar, MSC Sky II, True Confidence), were hit in the superstructure, unlike previous attacks which used to hit midship. This suggests the use of better, more precise, missiles by the Houthis - they either run out of older missiles and have to use their best munitions or it's a deliberate escalation.

Deceased sailors have been identified as two Filipinos, and one Vietnamese. The ship itself is adrift, and may share the fate of "Rybumar" if it's not salvaged in time.
Indian Navy published footage of their rescue operation

This is all what I’m talking about ability to project power. Had this happened 20 years ago, it would spark war. But the US just doesn’t have the jewels to do it anymore easily. Today there would be loss of life and even more political instability so they avoid it.
Same old, same old.
CENTCOM reports strikes against the Houthis, as well as successful drone interceptions.
Meanwhile, Houthis attacked another ship, a Singapore-flagged bulk carrier "Propel Fortune" - it was a near miss. Afterwards, the ship changed its course, and will sail around Africa.

During the ongoing salvage operation, French Navy protected a tugboat from a drone attack.
CENTCOM reports successful interception of a drone raid launched by the Houthis.
1. A few days ago the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group (USS Bataan. USS Carter Hall, USS Mesa Verde, and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit) have left the middle east after 8 month deployment and is sailing back home. There's no replacement coming to take their place, so it leaves the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group as the only American naval force in the area.
2. British destroyer HMS Diamond is sailing back, after resupplying, to the Red Sea, to relieve the HMS Richmond frigate.
3. Houthis attacked another ship - a Liberian-flagged, Singaporean owned and operated, container carrier "Pinocchio".
In response, US forces carried out strikes in Yemen, reportedly, killing people - Houthis vow revange.

However, the "Pinocchio" used to be called ZIM San Francisco and in the past belonged to the Israeli ZIM Shipping.

We have the ability to do it.
We have the assets in theater to do it.
We just have a retarded senile old man puppet ran by atheist Jews in charge.
A serious person comes in and this crap stops quickly after some MEANINGFUL strike packages.
Back in November/December we had 2 carrier strike groups and the amphibious element, now we're down to only Eisenhower strike group - should be enough to deal with the Houthis, I mean:
But it shows us how passive the current administration is - to have such a force at disposal and yet do nothing. The OPG and OPA operations are almost entirely PR stunts. Sometimes it feels like the Indian Navy is doing more work then we.
And sooner or later "Ike" will have to sail back to the States - it's been deployed for what ? 5-6 months already ? And what then ?
You think it's the Jews holding back on sending Americans to war for Israel again?
Those are two separate events sir.
But it's quite obvious none of the regime wants escalation by Bibi etc.
The Biden team, full of Jews, don't want to escalate in the Red Sea.
They are busy placating the PLO crowd.
I can never quite tell if you are an Israel lover or not.
The Houthi attacks on vessels trading with ZOG is a classic case of the GAE's military might being finely tuned for fighting an army from 60 years ago, but ineffective versus independent guerrila forces.
Broadly speaking, (1) using force alone to obtain a goal never succeeds against a determined adversary.
The example I always use is trannies, something that I will never accept under any circumstance.
If the US government wants to use their default tool, violent force, to make me accept the tranny agenda, they could take me into a room, waterboard me, have women pee and poo on me, blaspheme my holy book, and hook electrodes up to my private parts, as they are want to do. And perhaps at some point I would say whatever the bad man wanted to make the pain stop.
But the moment zir left the room, any belief in trannies would be instantly gone.
There is simply no way to use force to oppose a strong moral conviction.
In the case of the Houthis, they have decided that the murder and genocide of Palestinians is important enough to them that they will risk their own lives and well being to fight for it. This is not the kind of movement one easily defeats. Really the only way to do so with force is to genocide the entire people, and, if one may somehow consider that as an intellectual option, one only needs to look to Israel to see how poorly such a strategy works.
The second issue is (2) the mismatch of US aircraft carriers versus hit and run rocket attacks. The carriers carry a fixed amount of ammunition that can be used to repel these missile attacks. In order to effectively stop one of these missiles, the carriers must expend a large amount (I read the actual numbers recently but since internet search is broken I cannot easily find the source) of munitions, and after a few days of such countermeasures, the ship's reserves are expended and it must sail away to port, which takes the ship out of commission for weeks.
Then there is the case that even if increased military aggression could prove effective in reducing missile attacks, it would be (3) counterindicated to the actual mission, which is allowing commercial shipping vessels to freely operate.
(4) Military aggression has already been tried against the Houthis, and this wasn't even during a Palestinian genocide, which is what has caused them to step up their resolve. The Obama administration started a $100B (yes BILLION) proxy war in Yemen, which failed.
Of course military aggression was also tried against the Iraqis, and the Afghans, and the Vietnamese, etc. etc. and failed every time also.
The idea that the US is being held back by some sort of sense of cautiousness (lol) or fear of failure, or "cos sleepy Joe" is simply not credible.
(5) The aircraft carrier is not an effective tool to open commercial shipping (and many believe it is completely outdated for any military use).
Regardless, the Houthi's have made their position clear: Allow humanitarian aid to Gaza, or the Red Sea is closed to commercial shipping. There is an obvious and simple way to reopen the ports, and it doesn't require anything other than a basic sense of decency.
Of course, the simple, moral, and logical choice has no chance. American foreign policy is based entirely off emotion and Jewish control.
lol

Houthi's claim they have hypersonic missiles and will use them to expand their blockade and target ships in the Indian Ocean.
We just have to wait to see what they do have and what they decide to do.

Almost all ballistic missiles in the world are capable of reaching hypersonic speeds (above Mach 5) - usually its only for a short phase, the Russian Iskander is a good example, but even older soviet designs like the Scud or Tochka were capable of it (for a moment). Considering that Houthi's arsenal is of Iranian origin, which itself is based on soviet designs, it quite possible that they have a missile that can reach Mach 8, but I do not believe they can manufacture them themselves - it would require advanced chemical, metallurgical and rocket engine industries, which are non-existent in Yemen. So it looks to me, like Iran is using this crisis to test their weapon systems in real life conditions.

I read that the Houthi’s have started equipping their Toyota Hilux’s with seat covers made out of Kevlar to protect the seats from the damage caused by their giant brass balls clanging around when they go over bumps. They fight for a better future for their sons, when Yemen will be secure and prosperous with smooth roadways that will render the Kevlar unnecessary, and their progeny can focus their time solely on beheading homosexuals and Jews.
How much of our tax money has been wasted by our DEI military, the army of satan, to use their outdated technology to cause no harm or delay in the Houthi's plans?
At least the Indian Navy is doing some job, they're in pursuit of "Ruen" - a bulk carrier hijacked by the Somali pirates back in December. Since then, the vessel have been used as a mother ship, from which Somalis carried out attacks far off the coast.
For those looking into Israeli connection: the ship's owner Navibulgar, has a history of doing business with Israel, and while the "Ruen" itself was not sailing to, or from Israel at the time of the hijacking, it's twin vessel "Rojen" was frequently making port calls in Israel, including in October when the war erupted. So the Ruen's hijacking was not purely coincidental.

While most people in this country are struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their heads, our taxes and resources got to satan's army so they can defend Israel's desire to genocide the native people of the Levant.
