The Houthis aren’t a problem that can be solved from the sea. You have to go ashore which means bringing in the Marines. We simply aren’t willing to get that involved, and honestly, nor should we.
You are naive if you think marines have a chance against Houthis in those mountains. Unlike Iraq those mountains are the most ideal terrain for guerrilla warfare imaginable
Agree. Further as the situation since the 1990s showed (1990s, not just from 2015), regional-tribal rivalries worked in such a way that limited intervention would not work. Either persuade them to change their policies or eliminate them. The Western World is neither able nor is it willing to do either. Not a coincidence why that particular region tend to be associated with conflict. There is not much of a division between military, political and civic objectives in the Western sense. If a particular tribe is involved, then the individual tribesman is involved.

But they were. Vietnam certainly was learned from, and the military successes in the decades after Vietnam proved that. Iraq and Afghanistan were more recent and so it’s hard to say if anything was learned as far as diplomacy is concerned, but the US did learn a lot about IEDs and their detrimental effects on base-level Humvees, for example.

@@mrunstoppable6711”The Iraqis never stood a chance” how’s that? Iraq had the 5th largest military in the world, and while they where poorly equipped and trained they still posed a significant threat to the US as the DOD estimated over 10,000 US casualties in the first weeks of fighting. And a large reason this wasn’t a case was there developing tactics and doctrine as a result of the Vietnam war.
@ You just debunked your own point. The army’s size isn’t the end all be all. As you said they were poorly trained and equipped. The Iraqi army just finished losing a war to Iran where they were the ones who launched an offensive against them. As much as Americans want to pretend that war was an example of US military power, it wasn’t. They didn’t stand a chance. That war was equivalent to beating up a little handicap boy in a wheel chair.
Fun fact the connection between the Yemeni People and the Persians goes back to pre islamic times. Back then the Persians wanted to stop Roman trading so they established an alliance with the Yemeni People.
An ideological (and tribal?) struggle between Jewish Yemenis (supported by Persia) and Christian Yemenis (some groups supported by Rome and others by Persia), then (following the establishment of an anti-Christian Jewish king) Christian Axumite (Ethiopian) intervention followed by a warlord of Ethiopian extraction (Abraha) who established himself during the childhood of the later Prophet of Islam, and finally direct Zoroastrian Persian intervention by Khusraw I against the Axumites. Certainly geopolitics was involved! I wonder what would have happened had Islam not unified the peninsula against both Persia and Axum.

Problem with the US with their current counter insurgency strategy is that its purely millitaristic not diplomatic collaboration and hearts and minds. Just think about it seeing foreign solders coming to your homes and arresting anyone whoes merely a suspect and than theres drone strike killing friends and family of course its going to bring support and recruitments. Each collatoral brings a batch of new recruits. Just look at all US counter insurgency in middle east. No matter how much US and Europe coalition invaded and crush insurgents only for the insurgents to come back stronger and more adapt with new strategy. Its simply far too expensive for US and Coalition to maintain presence and combat insurgents. Look at Vietname war. They used everything (like gas and weather for a example) and still lost.
In March 2024, the Houthis fired five ballistic missiles at the Chinese-owned oil tanker, the M/V Huang Pu, while it was traveling in the Red Sea. The ship sustained minimal damage and a small fire, but no one was injured. The ship was able to resume its journey after issuing a distress call but not requesting assistance. The attack came despite the Houthis previously stating they would not attack Chinese ships.
As a member of the American electorate, i can confirm we are not going to the polls on this topic. We are extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY under educated on the financial cost of our foreign policy, and our political attention is entirely directed by media sources. Edit: for all the people commenting about how Americans fail in our electoral and civic duties, while true, this is true of wherever you are too. There isn't a single place in the world where the population has lived up to its responsibility to restrain government and enforce sound policy. You want Americans to live up to an expectation you don't hold for yourself. Channel your outrage into something productive, set a good example, or admit you are part of the problem and would probably act exactly the same here.
In the UK pensioners will no longer receive an uplift benefit allowance for winter fuel bills because we have a black hole in the budget that needs to be fixed, however there's a few billions available to help Ukraine of course - we've given them soo much and war still hasn't ended.
Speak for yourself. Or rather I think you are more aware than you realize and most people are aware that the US defense budget is insanely huge. And most people know that the wars in the middle east fought in the lifetimes of Millenials were not simple matters and didnt really amount to anything, thus fighting another one in Yemen, while paying for one in Ukraine and carefully watching to see what Xi does about Taiwan as the last strands of his power slip away from him and he is finally consumed by the beat he created (getting dramatic here but point is that guy is fucked), doesnt seem bright. Besides the Houthis are shooting a lot of missiles sure. Are they sinking a lot of ships? Absolutely they are not.
@@VelereonicsI don’t think that the majority of the American populous doesn’t know much about geopolitics at all. You’re a proof of that. If you think going into Iraq and Afghanistan was pointless then you truly are ignorant. Which I don’t blame you for. It’s hard to see you the crap the media pushes out on a regular basis. I mean you probably believe we went to Iraq for oil don’t you? The truth is we want into Iraq and Afghanistan to destabilize the region and put a well trained and educated(by war) battle hardened force of several thousand troops right on the border of countries that where not playing nice with American interests. You put your finger on the center of the Middle East and where do you find yourself? Iraq, and Afghanistan? Well we’re right on chinas and Russia borders along with Pakistan and Iran, which we’ve been harassing for years. Stabilize Iran and you destabilize the entire alternative oil sector for the people not wanting to deal in dollars. But for Iraq, we supplied them with WMD’s(chemical weapons not nuclear) and we needed to take care of the situation so we used the first situation available to us to invade a country unrelated to 9/11. And we stayed till 2012 and left a small fighting force there. Who knows? They might become our next Vietnam, Allie and an our next big global trade partner.
But it protects US (Saudi, Kuwaiti, etc.) oil (which in turn protects US dollar and US oversized budget, never mind the private profits). The USA has bet hard into this war-genocide precisely because they hope to consolidate their imperial domination of the region this way. The Yemenis were probably not factored in the plan however.
@@cubajonesie - It doesn't protect "you" (assuming you're part of the working class), it protects the whole imperial system, especially since the Nixon-Saud pact, i.e. the petrodollar scheme: oil can only be bought, until now at least, in USD, it's a fully convertible currency in "black gold", even if conversion rate fluctuates somewhat. That's why Trump ranted so loud and angrily yesterday against the collapse of the trust on the USD and how "he will solve it" (or probably not because it's precisely tariffs and sanctions what have been eroding the system since at least when the Venezuelan gold and assets were stolen under his watch). Israel was designed in old colonial times as a racist regime but it was by design the keystone to protect vs pan-Arabism and keep the Arabs divided. The USA has been fighting very hard against the remnants of pan-Arabism embodied in the Baath Party, which used to rule Iraq and still rules Syria (and also other relatable regimes like the one of Gadafi in Libya, which also threatened with gold-based pan-Africanism much as the Russian-backed Sahel countries are trying to do now in a way). It's all about "divide and loot". To the working class that works at best as "trickle down economics", which are not very real but may indeed have some small effect of increasing wealth (salaries) indirectly. It also makes housing and such more expensive, because the US economy is heavily financiarized now and those banks need to reinvest in "assets", which are often your home and mine (I'm European but Wall Street owns Europe anyhow). Barring socialism, the USA needs its Empire and Israel has been for a very long time central to it.
@@LuisAldamiz Israel doesn't have a commitment to protect the gulf countries in any way. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, the USA had to intervene themselves. The petro-dollar arrangement means USA is the direct protection of the gulf states and that's why they have military bases all over the region along with maritime presence. Israel loves for Americans to believe they are supporting them by providing some intelligence here and there evidently during the war on terror. Israel only acts to its own benefit even if it meant sabotaging AmericA's diplomatic efforts like what they are doing now attacking Iran and escalating the war despite the overwhelming desire of the US to de-escelate. America's unwavering support for Israel is due to the influence of Israeli lobbies along with the evangelicals christian zionists. The support is driven by internal politics and ideology not by logical or rational geo-political considerations while Israel's alliance with the US is driven by pragmatic, precisely calculated rationale and supported by a spectacular propaganda machine that only came to fail recently.

“Since america is the chief global naval power, the U.S navy must maintain a presence worldwide” Sounds like an empire to me… Edit: I was told the proper term for this is HEGEMONY. So… That’s that
There is a difference between an Empire and a Global Power. Empire; an extensive group of states or countries ruled over by a single monarch, an oligarchy, or a sovereign state.

Thar western task force crapped their pants when they found out the Houthi's were shooting at them. It's no fun attacking someone who can and is more than willing to fight.
Ever hear the expression, “Not worth the powder to blow them away?” What really happened wasn’t an American retreat in “fear” but a US economic assessment that the Houthi aren’t worth the financial price of the bullet required to annihilate them. The US is economically independent in terms of agriculture, energy and manufacturing. It simply has no strategic interest in maintaining the safety of shipping through the Babel Mandeb. If ships go around the Cape of Good Hope instead, the added costs to shipping is insignificant to the US economy when compared to the cost of hightech ammunition required to secure the Babel Mandeb passage. It’s this simple…to the strategic and economic interests of USA, the Houthi are no more significant than a pimple on a gnat’s ass. If they want to engage in an interminable internecine civil war in Yemen, let them; they aren’t substantially hurting anyone but themselves and are only a minor annoyance to the Saudis as well as an unforeseen expense to the Egyptians. The IMF and the Gulf States will continue to provide financial resources to offset any Egyptian cash flow issues resulting from the loss of canal revenues caused by Houthi attacks on global shipping. What the Houthi in fact are is Iranian stooges who are currently being exploited to serve corrupt foreign interests which are ultimately counterproductive to their own long term best interests. When the events in Gaza eventually come to an end, regardless of what that outcome looks like, the world will return to the former status quo in which, perhaps tragically, nobody gave a rat’s ass about the Yemeni people except the Saudis who hated them. Once they cease to be of marginal utility to the Iranians, rest assured the Persians will once again abandon the Yemeni people to their own inexorable fates. To be fair, I pity the suffering people of Yemen, but thanks to their own incompetent leadership they are proving to be their own worst enemies. Tragically, nobody is actually going to be coming to save them … not the Europeans, not the Americans, not the Russians, not the Chinese, not the Turks, not the Egyptians, not the Saudis, not Al Qaeda and not even the Iranians. Apparently, the hopelessly divided people of Yemen are incapable of saving themselves. Given this circumstance, their future looks bleak indeed. Some people seem to be cursed by a combination of geography and history. The Yemeni may be just such a people but, if so, they would be well-advised to pray for peace rather than futilely insisting on perpetual jihad. Ultimately their fate isn’t in the hands of Americans, of Zionists, of the Wahabists or even of the imams of Quom. The Yemeni control their own destiny and they will have the peace and justice they deserve when and if they ever discover the collective wisdom to attain it. 🙏🏼

Yemen had 52.8 firearms per 100 people with around 14.9 million civilian firearms. They are No.2 in the most armed nation list. No army wants to face a population like that.
It also resembles Afghanistan in its tribal politics and difficult mountainous terrain. Yemenis live in abject poverty and they have much less to lose than any invader, similar to Afghanis.

It’s really very simple actually. When your enemy is using the ground against you, the tactical solution is to take the ground. Navy’s can effect the ground, but they can’t take it and hold it. That’s what armies do. They take and hold ground.

Maybe we should try peaceful trade and foster peaceful relations with them instead of arming and aiding their enemies? Notice they're not attacking Somalia or Egypt? Too complicated? Think about it.
They stopped attacking ships when there was a short ceasefire. The US and the west knows very well how to end the attack on the ships but they still don't want to. They keep arming the same root of problem rather than fixing it.
From the background information I got here is why: The Houthis arent just a navy they also have ground operations, and unless you defeat them on land you cant really get rid of them
You can't defeat them on land. US-proxy coalition (Saudia, Egypt and UAE) tried and lost already. They know they are pretty much impervious to any kind of war anyone can bring on them (except nuclear war maybe?)

Dijbouti is real estate leasing company. That's a huge part of the economy. Plus, by inviting nearly every world power, they have in effect a mutual defense agreement.
When the European powers (Portugal, Holland, Britain) expanded into the Indian Ocean … the Yemeni highlands (and their Zaydi imams) and Ethiopian highlands (and their Abyssinian emperor) were always a problem. They never managed to topple them for geographic reasons, so they instead set up in the periphery to always maintain a naval presence that would protect their ships traveling east or returning with colonial plunder. Until recently, it was one of the few places in the southern Red Sea that would allow a foreign military base. This is partly because it was being leased by the French for 99 years. Now its tiny population relies on the rent gathered from those bases. Maintaining the international access of Naval imperialism is part of the reason why those states would never accept an expansion of either Yemen or Ethiopia.

"America can count on decades of experience from Afghanistan on what works and what doesn't" Getting our asses beat by the Taliban shows that we only know what DOESN'T work.
The Houthi's are a tribal organization with reportedy over 100,000 militia members. These groups are fairly well organized and very mobile. They have few fixed locations and their assets are mobile. Aside from that, this is not the "most intense naval engagement since the Second World War." That is absolute balderdash. The Houthi's have no naval units. None. Essentially, the United States is conducting air strikes on desert locations. This is similiar to US naval operations conducted during the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam Conflict, the Iraqi Conflict, and others. The US Navy is conducting air strikes on "reported" positions in the desert. This is similar to US Naval airstrikes on North Korean, Vietnamese, and Iraqi, and other posiitons. However, the US Navy is not conducting the level of air strikes as in some of these other campaigns. Certainly nothing like the Second World War. Now if we want to push these missile launchers away from the coast, the United States would have to land ground combat units. The problem is that the Houthis are very mobile and can fall back into the desert and avoid contact. This would take additional ground combat units. Therefore, there is very little way to "defeat the Houthi's." It just isn't possible. The United States has been engaged in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) for over 23 years with no end in sight. It may be time to find some other way to resolve these issues.
So, in short, there is an easy solution.. Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza and the Houthi's back down.. but this the most unpalatable solution to the Israel-controlled Americans even more than it is to Israel themselves
The US controlls Isreal. Heck Natenjahu or what ever his name is spelled is an American. There is an Israel lobby, but the US benefits from Israel a lot more then one might think.

Afganistan would still be in our hands of Trump had not allowed the agreement with Kazakistan allowing us to use their airbases had not expired. We had to beg Pakistan to allow us to use their airspace to extricate. We had to leave a lot of heavy equipment because Pakistan was giving us a hard time using their roads to get out. In Korea we wouldnt listen to McCarther and create an unpassable zone at the Chinese border.

The Houthis aren’t a problem that can be solved from the sea. You have to go ashore which means bringing in the Marines. We simply aren’t willing to get that involved, and honestly, nor should we.
Calculating mission as a cost from the conflict is misleading because the ships would be deployed either way
You are naive if you think marines have a chance against Houthis in those mountains. Unlike Iraq those mountains are the most ideal terrain for guerrilla warfare imaginable
Agree. Further as the situation since the 1990s showed (1990s, not just from 2015), regional-tribal rivalries worked in such a way that limited intervention would not work.
Either persuade them to change their policies or eliminate them. The Western World is neither able nor is it willing to do either.

And a large reason this wasn’t a case was there developing tactics and doctrine as a result of the Vietnam war.
@ You just debunked your own point. The army’s size isn’t the end all be all. As you said they were poorly trained and equipped. The Iraqi army just finished losing a war to Iran where they were the ones who launched an offensive against them.

Fun fact the connection between the Yemeni People and the Persians goes back to pre islamic times.
Back then the Persians wanted to stop Roman trading so they established an alliance with the Yemeni People.
An ideological (and tribal?) struggle between Jewish Yemenis (supported by Persia) and Christian Yemenis (some groups supported by Rome and others by Persia), then (following the establishment of an anti-Christian Jewish king) Christian Axumite (Ethiopian) intervention followed by a warlord of Ethiopian extraction (Abraha) who established himself during the childhood of the later Prophet of Islam, and finally direct Zoroastrian Persian intervention by Khusraw I against the Axumites. Certainly geopolitics was involved! I wonder what would have happened had Islam not unified the peninsula against both Persia and Axum.
Since the Roman traders made it all the way to china & India doesn't look like that alliance was to successful.

Each collatoral brings a batch of new recruits.
Just look at all US counter insurgency in middle east. No matter how much US and Europe coalition invaded and crush insurgents only for the insurgents to come back stronger and more adapt with new strategy. Its simply far too expensive for US and Coalition to maintain presence and combat insurgents. Look at Vietname war. They used everything (like gas and weather for a example) and still lost.

As a member of the American electorate, i can confirm we are not going to the polls on this topic. We are extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY under educated on the financial cost of our foreign policy, and our political attention is entirely directed by media sources.
Edit: for all the people commenting about how Americans fail in our electoral and civic duties, while true, this is true of wherever you are too. There isn't a single place in the world where the population has lived up to its responsibility to restrain government and enforce sound policy. You want Americans to live up to an expectation you don't hold for yourself. Channel your outrage into something productive, set a good example, or admit you are part of the problem and would probably act exactly the same here.
In the UK pensioners will no longer receive an uplift benefit allowance for winter fuel bills because we have a black hole in the budget that needs to be fixed, however there's a few billions available to help Ukraine of course - we've given them soo much and war still hasn't ended.
Speak for yourself. Or rather I think you are more aware than you realize and most people are aware that the US defense budget is insanely huge. And most people know that the wars in the middle east fought in the lifetimes of Millenials were not simple matters and didnt really amount to anything, thus fighting another one in Yemen, while paying for one in Ukraine and carefully watching to see what Xi does about Taiwan as the last strands of his power slip away from him and he is finally consumed by the beat he created (getting dramatic here but point is that guy is fucked), doesnt seem bright.

The USA has bet hard into this war-genocide precisely because they hope to consolidate their imperial domination of the region this way. The Yemenis were probably not factored in the plan however.
Israel isn't a friend of the US. Israel is the owner of the US.
@@LuisAldamiz A lot of people, mostly from the same religion say that. But they can never explain how exactly Israel 'protects' us.
@@cubajonesie - It doesn't protect "you" (assuming you're part of the working class), it protects the whole imperial system, especially since the Nixon-Saud pact, i.e. the petrodollar scheme: oil can only be bought, until now at least, in USD, it's a fully convertible currency in "black gold", even if conversion rate fluctuates somewhat. That's why Trump ranted so loud and angrily yesterday against the collapse of the trust on the USD and how "he will solve it" (or probably not because it's precisely tariffs and sanctions what have been eroding the system since at least when the Venezuelan gold and assets were stolen under his watch).
Israel was designed in old colonial times as a racist regime but it was by design the keystone to protect vs pan-Arabism and keep the Arabs divided. The USA has been fighting very hard against the remnants of pan-Arabism embodied in the Baath Party, which used to rule Iraq and still rules Syria (and also other relatable regimes like the one of Gadafi in Libya, which also threatened with gold-based pan-Africanism much as the Russian-backed Sahel countries are trying to do now in a way). It's all about "divide and loot".
To the working class that works at best as "trickle down economics", which are not very real but may indeed have some small effect of increasing wealth (salaries) indirectly. It also makes housing and such more expensive, because the US economy is heavily financiarized now and those banks need to reinvest in "assets", which are often your home and mine (I'm European but Wall Street owns Europe anyhow). Barring socialism, the USA needs its Empire and Israel has been for a very long time central to it.
@@LuisAldamiz Israel doesn't have a commitment to protect the gulf countries in any way. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, the USA had to intervene themselves. The petro-dollar arrangement means USA is the direct protection of the gulf states and that's why they have military bases all over the region along with maritime presence. Israel loves for Americans to believe they are supporting them by providing some intelligence here and there evidently during the war on terror.
Israel only acts to its own benefit even if it meant sabotaging AmericA's diplomatic efforts like what they are doing now attacking Iran and escalating the war despite the overwhelming desire of the US to de-escelate.
America's unwavering support for Israel is due to the influence of Israeli lobbies along with the evangelicals christian zionists. The support is driven by internal politics and ideology not by logical or rational geo-political considerations while Israel's alliance with the US is driven by pragmatic, precisely calculated rationale and supported by a spectacular propaganda machine that only came to fail recently.

Ever hear the expression, “Not worth the powder to blow them away?” What really happened wasn’t an American retreat in “fear” but a US economic assessment that the Houthi aren’t worth the financial price of the bullet required to annihilate them.
The US is economically independent in terms of agriculture, energy and manufacturing. It simply has no strategic interest in maintaining the safety of shipping through the Babel Mandeb. If ships go around the Cape of Good Hope instead, the added costs to shipping is insignificant to the US economy when compared to the cost of hightech ammunition required to secure the Babel Mandeb passage.
It’s this simple…to the strategic and economic interests of USA, the Houthi are no more significant than a pimple on a gnat’s ass. If they want to engage in an interminable internecine civil war in Yemen, let them; they aren’t substantially hurting anyone but themselves and are only a minor annoyance to the Saudis as well as an unforeseen expense to the Egyptians. The IMF and the Gulf States will continue to provide financial resources to offset any Egyptian cash flow issues resulting from the loss of canal revenues caused by Houthi attacks on global shipping.
What the Houthi in fact are is Iranian stooges who are currently being exploited to serve corrupt foreign interests which are ultimately counterproductive to their own long term best interests. When the events in Gaza eventually come to an end, regardless of what that outcome looks like, the world will return to the former status quo in which, perhaps tragically, nobody gave a rat’s ass about the Yemeni people except the Saudis who hated them. Once they cease to be of marginal utility to the Iranians, rest assured the Persians will once again abandon the Yemeni people to their own inexorable fates.
To be fair, I pity the suffering people of Yemen, but thanks to their own incompetent leadership they are proving to be their own worst enemies. Tragically, nobody is actually going to be coming to save them … not the Europeans, not the Americans, not the Russians, not the Chinese, not the Turks, not the Egyptians, not the Saudis, not Al Qaeda and not even the Iranians. Apparently, the hopelessly divided people of Yemen are incapable of saving themselves. Given this circumstance, their future looks bleak indeed.
Some people seem to be cursed by a combination of geography and history. The Yemeni may be just such a people but, if so, they would be well-advised to pray for peace rather than futilely insisting on perpetual jihad. Ultimately their fate isn’t in the hands of Americans, of Zionists, of the Wahabists or even of the imams of Quom. The Yemeni control their own destiny and they will have the peace and justice they deserve when and if they ever discover the collective wisdom to attain it. 🙏🏼

it is a US interest to prevent the oil prices from rising up globally - because that would directly affect the US and its NATO allies.
absolutely has nothing to do with Israel at all.

Yemen had 52.8 firearms per 100 people with around 14.9 million civilian firearms. They are No.2 in the most armed nation list.
No army wants to face a population like that.
I heard Somalia is also like that every household got few AK47
It also resembles Afghanistan in its tribal politics and difficult mountainous terrain. Yemenis live in abject poverty and they have much less to lose than any invader, similar to Afghanis.
not agreeing with this. i think any NATO country's army would have no problem going up against untrained civilians. they might not like how many people they're killing but it wouldn't be a challenge. also think larger guns which civilians do not have. air force bombing etc.

Yeah, that seemed a bit ridiculous to say.
Entire powerful empires fell throughout history but america is special? Dont think so, empires rise and fall and anyone who thinks america isnt in a decline is delusional

It’s really very simple actually. When your enemy is using the ground against you, the tactical solution is to take the ground. Navy’s can effect the ground, but they can’t take it and hold it. That’s what armies do. They take and hold ground.

The narrator talked about every solution except the obvious one. Immediate ceasefire in the middle east conflict. I think everyone knows what I'm talking about.
(The reason why the US is there is because the western world depends on Saudi oil, which the Houthis were attacking for years to strengthen the economy of Iran while damaging the economy of the west world, the Gaza conflict is a comfortable excuse for Iran to ramp up the attacks. )
None of the sides want a ceasefire. No justice,...no peace.
Maybe we should try peaceful trade and foster peaceful relations with them instead of arming and aiding their enemies? Notice they're not attacking Somalia or Egypt? Too complicated? Think about it.
They stopped attacking ships when there was a short ceasefire. The US and the west knows very well how to end the attack on the ships but they still don't want to. They keep arming the same root of problem rather than fixing it.
I thought that by supporting Israel, America would be more, not less secure. Still waiting for the USA to be blessed by blessing Israel.
From the background information I got here is why: The Houthis arent just a navy they also have ground operations, and unless you defeat them on land you cant really get rid of them
You can't defeat them on land. US-proxy coalition (Saudia, Egypt and UAE) tried and lost already. They know they are pretty much impervious to any kind of war anyone can bring on them (except nuclear war maybe?)
wic usa cant
Unless you thought they were merpeople this shouldn't be surprising.

Your map of Yemen and the cities is extremely incorrect. A channel like Caspian Report, you'd expect some journalistic integrity and thoroughness. If you cannot get the basic cities in a map right, how can we account for anything being said? Really disappointing.
And that's why the US spends trillions on a useless military. Most are too blind to figure anything out in the real world cause they're either distracted by celebrities, football, or some other useless "wine and circus"
the fact that it seems to be a serious and objective channel doesn't mean it is not spreading propaganda.
Heads up the russians and the chinese have no problem using the Red Sea nor are they attacked by the Houthies. All in all this was an honest reportage.
America keeps fighting with one hand tied behind its back.

You said that Russia and China often act as spoilers in the UN. I didn't know you were this biased towards the West. You're also leaving out the wider purpose of the Houthis from their perspective or the perspective of other Arabs who want to break free from imperialism.

Agreed. I know who his real sponsors are
There's a very clear pro-israel tone and view of his recent videos on middle Eastern issues. To a lesser extent, also pro-western.
For example portrayal of the Israel Palestine conflict is no different than any western mainstream media. The avoidance of acknowledging ICJ rulings, and avoidance of any allusion to the genocide.
@@kenny1514 Yeah, Shirvan is Azerbaijani. They are pretty chummy with Israel. However, I'm not really seeing the bias you're talking about. Sure, he's not mentioning the genocide Israel is committing but he's also not mentioning all the shit Arab states pulled through history unless they are pertinent to the subject he's talking about.
The issue is logistics and supply. Stop the flow of weapons and it’s ended.
“Threatening us with war is like threatening a sick person with health”. Courtesy of the houthies.

I think the question is should the US solve the problem? The US doesnt really need this trade route. As the US becomes a larger energy exporter the blocked Red Sea makes its energy exports more attractive to Europe.
Besides the US doesnt really want to win wars anymore. The USN could stop this quickly just blockading any supplies coming into Yemen, sure the world would scream, but its not like the world could do much about it if they wanted. At the end of the day I see this more a thumb in the eye of China as this threatens their exports into Europe as the PLAN does not have the capability to secure this trade route.

I am not sure why this video stated ineptitude of the US Navy, reducing these threats are a ground war issue, the Navy just does strikes. This issue is not just a USA issue, it is an international problem that other nations / coalition needs to resolve. USA is getting out of the globalized system no matter what. The American people are no longer willing to fund such endeavors, other nations need to step up or learn to be more self-reliant for internal needs.

USA can't "get out" of the global system, when it's the main benefactor of it.

So it's a direct US interest to get this sorted, in conjunction with other western partners.

Dijbouti is real estate leasing company. That's a huge part of the economy. Plus, by inviting nearly every world power, they have in effect a mutual defense agreement.
When the European powers (Portugal, Holland, Britain) expanded into the Indian Ocean … the Yemeni highlands (and their Zaydi imams) and Ethiopian highlands (and their Abyssinian emperor) were always a problem. They never managed to topple them for geographic reasons, so they instead set up in the periphery to always maintain a naval presence that would protect their ships traveling east or returning with colonial plunder.
Until recently, it was one of the few places in the southern Red Sea that would allow a foreign military base. This is partly because it was being leased by the French for 99 years. Now its tiny population relies on the rent gathered from those bases. Maintaining the international access of Naval imperialism is part of the reason why those states would never accept an expansion of either Yemen or Ethiopia.
because it helps them steal from these countries !!

It's not a matter of can or cannot it is a matter of will
Unfortunately no it’s the matter of can or can’t
"America can count on decades of experience from Afghanistan on what works and what doesn't"
Getting our asses beat by the Taliban shows that we only know what DOESN'T work.
The Houthi's are a tribal organization with reportedy over 100,000 militia members. These groups are fairly well organized and very mobile. They have few fixed locations and their assets are mobile.
Aside from that, this is not the "most intense naval engagement since the Second World War." That is absolute balderdash. The Houthi's have no naval units. None. Essentially, the United States is conducting air strikes on desert locations. This is similiar to US naval operations conducted during the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam Conflict, the Iraqi Conflict, and others. The US Navy is conducting air strikes on "reported" positions in the desert. This is similar to US Naval airstrikes on North Korean, Vietnamese, and Iraqi, and other posiitons. However, the US Navy is not conducting the level of air strikes as in some of these other campaigns. Certainly nothing like the Second World War.
Now if we want to push these missile launchers away from the coast, the United States would have to land ground combat units. The problem is that the Houthis are very mobile and can fall back into the desert and avoid contact. This would take additional ground combat units. Therefore, there is very little way to "defeat the Houthi's." It just isn't possible.
The United States has been engaged in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) for over 23 years with no end in sight. It may be time to find some other way to resolve these issues.
So, in short, there is an easy solution.. Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza and the Houthi's back down.. but this the most unpalatable solution to the Israel-controlled Americans even more than it is to Israel themselves
The US controlls Isreal. Heck Natenjahu or what ever his name is spelled is an American.
There is an Israel lobby, but the US benefits from Israel a lot more then one might think.
Just wait till Trump is in office.
Why do you call them Houthi? They are Yemeni. They form the standing army, retinue, and government of Yemen. Do we call Americans WASPS, Boston Brahmins?

If you can’t win without compromising on multiple fronts, you might as well be losing straight up. Save an eyeball, lose your testicles kind of thing.
Politicians are restraining the military
And this is why we lose wars
. In Vietnam after the Tet offensive the Viet Cong as a force was destroyed.
Afganistan would still be in our hands of Trump had not allowed the agreement with Kazakistan allowing us to use their airbases had not expired. We had to beg Pakistan to allow us to use their airspace to extricate. We had to leave a lot of heavy equipment because Pakistan was giving us a hard time using their roads to get out.
In Korea we wouldnt listen to McCarther and create an unpassable zone at the Chinese border. Nevertheless Korea was a success when you considered the original objective was to regain South Koreas territory.
Imagine hold a "wargame" and losing then years later implement those same tactics and expecting different results, I am not a smart person but isn't that the definition of stupidity.
“Modern warships are not built for asymmetrical warfare”
