Houthis had a busy weekend.
On Friday (June 7) they attacked two Greek vessels in the Red Sea: a container ship "Elbella" and a general cargo vessel "AAL Genoa". Both attacks were unsuccessful.
On Sunday (June 9) Houthis targeted another two ships in the Gulf of Aden: an Antigua & Barbuda-flagged, German operated general cargo ship "Norderney" and an MSC container ship "MSC Tavvishi". Those attacks were successful, "Norderney" was struck twice and "MSC Tavvishi" once - both ships reported fires, but were able to extinguish them and continue their journey.
Blazes are said to be under control and ships report no human casualties

Houthis also claim they've attacked the British destroyer HMS "Diamond", but without any success.
CAIRO, June 9 (Reuters) – Britain’s defense ministry said on Sunday a statement by Yemen’s Houthis that they had fired ballistic missiles at a British destroyer in the Red Sea was false....

Just a bit of food for thought - this has been going on for years.. Years and YEARS..
Now its the Houthis, in the recent past it was the Somali pirates with their small speedboats and small arms Terrorising International Shipping Lanes - and even back then the "international community" threw up its arms and all collaborated and - both heroically and collectively - found a way to make barely a dent in the attacks on shipping.
Nairobian was an interesting guy on the Old Forum who copped a ban after arguing with Simeon Strangelight over Racial IQ.
He made some interesting points about ZOGs interest in the Red Sea lanes and thus the Horn of Africa which is so close, at points, to the Arabian peninsula.
He was one of the first commentators I saw who pointed out that the Westgate Mall shooting had a lot of question marks against it and likely was a False Flag perpetrated by the (((Usual Suspects))), not the first time - all sorts of questionable activity taking place in East African countries seemingly set up by intel agencies - to the point where Christopher Bollyn insists that Israel had foreknowledge of the Entebbe hostage crisis and in fact made sure that it would happen in order to underline their international 'victim' status and also their 'tough gutsy victim' status in the wake of the debacle that was the Munich Hostage Crisis.
We all recall what happened in the Levant in 2014 when a column of armoured cars rolled across an open desert under a blue sky, vanquishing all before them, and NATO countries used their overarching airpower to throw boxes of supplies to the column's intended victims and small lesbians in flight-suits in the RAF flight crew would turn to the embedded news crews riding alongside them in the helicopter with tears in their eyes, crying about how they wanted to save the Yazidis from slaughter but they were just powerless to do anything..
well,
Here's a thought:
why not use your unmatched airpower over Iraq to blow that unprotected column of international head choppers to kingdom come? Most obvious solution. But we had to play along and pretend that ISIS (Israel) were this terrifying militia that No-one Could Stop.
Now, I am NOT saying:
That its easy to take on Houthis or Somali pirates in the Red Sea at all times, every day
That the Houthis don't constitute a thorn in the side of NATO navies
That the Houthis don't have legitimate grievances.
What I am saying is that - basically South African journalists with Israeli passports have been talking up the presence of (((ISIS))) in places like Mozambique and Malawi for years now - and that (((presence))) has been very hard to explain given the peaceable nature of the muslims in Mozambique and Malawi.
"Not just Malawi but Tanzania! Uganda! South Sudan! The Russians have got a presence in some places!"
They've been talking up their presence like crazy for years when it just didn't make sense to onlookers: partly because there didn't seem to be a host population there in Malawi and Mozambique for ISIS to take root amongst and partly because the areas they mentioned were so sparsely populated and remote it was hard to see how they could requisition themselves and sort supplies for themselves and do all that without sticking out like a sore thumb ripe for drone or black ops attacks.
It didn't make sense but we were told that the Russians were infiltrating the region and the fact that ISIS was there meant that regime change wars and NATO military presence might be Completely Necessary.
People have seen this movie before, last time it was called Somalia and the soldiers active there that I spoke to could make no sense of the strategy as a lot of what they were told to do just made the situation worse.
They felt like they were sent in there as place holders for a return visit later.
certainly the Israelis and the (((globalists))) have a very strong interest in a presence in the Horn of Africa.
The British Empire was of course infested with jews pursuing their own long term aims and who often used the term "the Ark of Crisis" - basically using divide and rule and feisty local militias to create civil wars that advanced their imperial ambitions without having to do as much with boots on the ground.
Its been going on for decades if not longer.
They don't want to fix the problem because the problem is the excuse they need to maintain their continued presence in the region - AFRICOM etc.
This is not a new phenomenon. Western nations wringing their hands over how terrible it all is and saying "we must do something" whilst failing to bring enough firepower has been their go to PR response for years.
The realpolitik of it all and their real strategic aims (in NOT bringing enough firepower to solve the problem once and for all) are things, are details, that are kept away from the lumpen proletariat.
