@@Shah_createsif it is such a Genocide why don’t their Sunni Brothers come to rescue them? Why do they have to beg Shia’s? America is not being tricked. Not even Egypt will help the Hamas Cowards hiding behind innocents. Fatah is the only hope for Palestine…
@@buddymac78 I will answer the question you asked. Egypt, Saudi, UAE, and Jordan all have special agreements with the US. They do not want to see Hamas win for two reasons: it would “weaken” Israel and will complicate the India-Middle East Corridor for trading as Palestine would get in the way, and the Hamas win will embolden other Islamic and populist movements to rebel against the Gulf monarchies (and dictator in the case of Egypt). Saudi finally made their strongest statement urging for a ceasefire, but this was also motivated out of self-protection, as the Saudi masses are sympathetic to Palestine and would not tolerate their monarchy simple sit back and watch a genocide. But you are right: the only people who stand up for justice and Islamic democracy/governance and the Middle East happen to be Shia and backed by Iran.

Yoo I got to see the Kitty Hawk since I'm stationed in Washington (before it was moved to Texas for scrapping). I myself was on the Nimitz (5th fleet) and would have been in this situation if I didn't get out.
I was stationed on the Kitty Hawk from 05-10. We took it from Japan to Hawaii and cali for decommissioning and brought the George Washington back to Japan! I miss those days. I was lucky enough to be based with a squadron of f-18s and so outside of deployment I didn’t have to stay on the ship
That is what people thought about USA vs Vietnam and also Ukraine vs Russia. Look at the outcome. we are spending multi million dollars missiles to destroy 200$ drones.
Admiral Cooper was the perfect person to answer all of these questions. He was so thorough and knowledgeable. The Red Sea is safer in his hands! God bless the American military!
America attacked Afghanistan to destroy Al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist groups. But instead of being destroyed, these groups became more powerful and took over the entire country of Afghanistan. So why did this happen? Because instead of killing these terrorists, the American army used to bomb mountains, forests and uninhabited places. In the end, the American army presented the Bagram base with billions of dollars in armored vehicles, military equipment, and individual soldiers' equipment to these terrorist groups. We call this kind of war imaginary war. Wars that apparently exist and are for the destruction of one of the parties. But in fact, it is a dirty deal and conspiracy for the benefit of both parties
What one sided story. Where were the Houthis in this story? My understanding is the Houthis are attacking shipping going to any Israel ports and giving warning to turn back first. Their stance is to continue until the genocide in Palestine stops. Where as the US are funding and supporting the genocide. There is so much moral bankruptcy here.
This will lead to AI swarm drones from the us. Imagine dozens of high speed, stealth smart drones flying in the night to hunt. This will be far cheaper than those missiles.
The US is deliberately loading older weapons in their ships to get rid of them. These “million-dollar” SM-2s were long bought and paid for, being of Cold War vintage, and using them saves money on dismantling or refurbishment.
Could all of this be a precursor of what could happen also in the China sea? The China sea would be 100 times more dangerous and at a faster pace with Chinese navy ships and submarines all over the place. I see this as a training ground for something bigger. The US will be tested over and over with these types of incursions and challenges, hopefully the policy makers are serious as these navy commanders.
America has surrounded China with over 300 military bases, been arming Taiwan for over 2 decades, and now are sending troops on Islands a couple of miles off the shore of China. We are trying our best to get a reaction from them.
Missing from the conversation are 5,000 US military personnel stationed in Djibouti, right on the Bab alMandeb. Who has told us not to talk about them?

@@jdoe7697 And this is why ignorance is always bad.

How is this any different than when the US supported the south Vietnamese or the mujahideen in Afghanistan to take down the USSR? The Iranians are simply taking a page out of our playbook....
The fact that the navy wont destroy their launch sites once and for all just shows how important it is to keep the weapons industry alive at the cost of US taxpayers
this is propaganda not journalism Those interviews are more like acting than real interviews, just, look at 6:16 , the video was ready to be played:) Hollywood should help 60 minutes make better propaganda videos
There we go again! The Houthi was only attacking ships doing business with Israel who was attacking the Palestinians. We should have let Europe handle their own business. So now we have involved ourselves in a conflict.
So I am no military strategist but wouldn't it make more sense to shoot at where the drones and missiles come from in Yemen instead of just shooting out at sea? This sounds dumb.
They do, that just isn't the focus of this piece. They were trying to highlight the anti-missile operations at protection. Not the counter-offensive strikes. The Navy launches ship to surface missile barrages on Houthi launch sites and bases in Western Yemen. The Admiral does mention that briefly in the video that they are finding and targeting launch sites after the Houthis reveal them.
Correction, Yamen is not poorest country in the middle east, it is a destroyed country by US & all their ally’s Otherwise it would have built it self since 2011…
I DO AGREE to the answer of the RADM when asked if its worth to shot the missiles of the Houtis by their expensive missile to protect the trade route. "SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AT ALL TIMES". Money is nothing if safety is not given the priority.
They are international waters, they don’t belong to “them”, and when they attack innocent merchant vessels prohibiting free trade, the US needs to come babysit.
Former sailor here: every time the US Navy flexes its capabilities in an unbalanced piece its a performance piece for potential peer military nations....and of course the US military industrial profits
Struggling? Did we watch the same video? The USS Gravely could single handedly provide the safety net but that wouldn't be smart. Also what isn't smart: underestimating your opponent, and not taking into account what technology has brought to the modern battlefield

Missing from the conversation are 5,000 US military personnel stationed in Djibouti, right on the Bab alMandeb. Who has told us not to talk about them?
Guess he's wanting to forget the Exocet.
Exocet is a cruise missile, he said ballistic missile.
I guess he missed that class at the Naval Academy
when they spoke of Argentina in the early 80's.....
@@KK_on_KK I bet I know 37 people that might not care for nitpicking the difference.
@@ecbst6 not nitpicking, just being accurate. A ballistic missile and a guided cruise missile are pretty different. Nitpicking would be if I corrected you on a specific variant of a missile or something like that.
A missile that travels at just under mach 1 vs a missile that can travel mach 4 or 5 are very different threats.
God bless our soldiers and sailors. Stay safe🙏🏼🇺🇸
The Houthis wearing sandals just burst the hubris filled US hegemonic bubble 😢
One fighting for freedom and the other fighting for resources
The houthis should ask Japan what we did to them when they messed with our boats.
You should know that Yemen is not Japan. It is foolish to fight a country that has nothing to lose.
@ebrahimhabib949 how dastardly you are for trying to excuse terrorism. It doesn't matter who you are... you don't get to attack merchant ships in international waters.
@@ebrahimhabib949 nothing to lose? How about their very lives?
@ebrahimhabib949 and you're right... Yemen and Japan are very different... Japan was actually a challenging fight. Yemen... well they dont even rank on the list of worthy adversaries

And this is why ignorance is always bad. Belittling your enemy due to any reason can be a fatal decision, and The Houthies are literally risking their lives on this and they see it from a different angle, on the other hand the west will never sacrifice their lives for important issues.
Time will show us who is righteous at the end and I hope you would be alive to comment then.
Imagine if US goods & manufacturing stayed in & was conducted by Americans 100%
But nope , gotta import what we are already capable of & spend billions to ensure other countries get your business & tax dollars
Not terrorist attack

Why are we the only big country fighting?
Because your country has balls!👊 👍
@@bikerman6907 because whenever the US economy is suffocating there's a war or two starting , it's proven already
There are several other countries operating in the strait right now, the US is the main element leading the task force, but they are hardly alone.
That’s what happens when you are the global leader
Because other countries are paying the US for protection and security with the US global trade interest.
Shouldnt be over there
And protecting international shipping that the world depends on? Yeah ok stay in gated community and keep you nieve opinions to yourself
@@YoinkMasterTonyhe thinks the US just spends tons of money cause they like helping people, theirs clearly bigger interests here
Some comments like yours are so naive.
All this for Israel.

Debatable
0:41 Houthis are attacking ships in solidarity with Palestinians not Hamas, but we all know why you said that instead. I’m really proud of millennial Americans they’re more educated abt this conflict than your generation. I have hopes for America 🇺🇸 as soon as these millennials take it over
The ships aren’t based in USA. What the hell
Nah, world's too big
USA is FAR away from that place, FAR.
It’s mostly European ships our taxes is being used to protect, why not their own taxes

How is this any different than when the US supported the south Vietnamese or the mujahideen in Afghanistan to take down the USSR? The Iranians are simply taking a page out of our playbook....
Who is the proxy they are against?
Iran using Houthis as proxies against USA.
@@enriquevia-reque6522 so where in that area of the world is the US homeland?
i sense some love tension between the admiral and the pretty lady
Yeah I noticed too. She had that excited stupid grin on her face and they kept standing closer and closer.😊
Shouldn't we be at DEFCON 2?
There has been reports that Iran is encouraging the proxy forces to not provoke the US because they don’t want a direct confrontation
No. There isn't a direct threat to the U.S. proper
Personally I've been on defcon 2 for a few months now.
The fact that the navy wont destroy their launch sites once and for all just shows how important it is to keep the weapons industry alive at the cost of US taxpayers
"Their launch sites once and for all" LMAO you realize the Houthis have portable launchers right?😂😂
Journalist asked questions like 2 grand student. 😂

Good ole 60 minutes..the go to govt. Propaganda show
America and Britain are not fighting the Houthis. It is a theatrical act. All weapons and aircraft are manufactured by American and British companies.
Bro's talking about their right to self defense when they're operating in someone else's maritime borders! LOL!
But, but, but we were told that Orange Man Bad was going to get us into wars?????
this is propaganda not journalism
Those interviews are more like acting than real interviews, just, look at

, the video was ready to be played:)
Hollywood should help 60 minutes make better propaganda videos
I still remember my Med Cruise aboard the Nimitz in 85 and 87. We responded to a conflict off Lebanon and Libya.
There we go again!
The Houthi was only attacking ships doing business with Israel who was attacking the Palestinians. We should have let Europe handle their own business. So now we have involved ourselves in a conflict.
4 million dollars for a Navy missile against a 100$ drone.
So I am no military strategist but wouldn't it make more sense to shoot at where the drones and missiles come from in Yemen instead of just shooting out at sea? This sounds dumb.
They do, that just isn't the focus of this piece. They were trying to highlight the anti-missile operations at protection. Not the counter-offensive strikes. The Navy launches ship to surface missile barrages on Houthi launch sites and bases in Western Yemen. The Admiral does mention that briefly in the video that they are finding and targeting launch sites after the Houthis reveal them.
What about the unmanned subs ??
Hasn't our ally Saudi Arabia been waging a brutal war in Yemen for several years? Is that the cause of these attacks on our shipping?
When will the “find-out” phase happen? Did it already happen?
Correction, Yamen is not poorest country in the middle east, it is a destroyed country by US & all their ally’s
Otherwise it would have built it self since 2011…
Who do we send the Bill to?
Egypt.
I DO AGREE to the answer of the RADM when asked if its worth to shot the missiles of the Houtis by their expensive missile to protect the trade route. "SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AT ALL TIMES". Money is nothing if safety is not given the priority.
Wow how left can they go? Sixty minutes used to be impartial 😢
They hate us because they ain't us 😂
The American people wanna hear about the other countries involved in protecting that area. Tired of hearing the ‘United States.’
I LOVE AMERICA WE ARE VERY POWERFULL AND VERY TACTICAL . GOD BLESS OUR ARMYS...
Reporter asking for classified information is stupid, rude and treasonous
We label them as terrorists, but we are the ones going through their waters, not respecting their air space and sea space.
They are international waters, they don’t belong to “them”, and when they attack innocent merchant vessels prohibiting free trade, the US needs to come babysit.
I want US Gov to grant permission to Navy for fully autonomous operations for this war.
Former sailor here: every time the US Navy flexes its capabilities in an unbalanced piece its a performance piece for potential peer military nations....and of course the US military industrial profits
