      The Chinese do need the red sea to export their cheap crap to the EU. Also, if oil prices rise the cost to China will also rise (and the Russian oil tankers sail through the red sea as well). The Chinese probably don't want to show their navy is incompetent and lacks power projection capability and they don't want to hurt their Iranian allies.

The plan is revealed more and more as the war continue. The second stage of the Arab Spring begins as it did before with an attack by Israel on Palestine followed by a massive demonstration in the Arab world which leads to instability or overthrowing governments then Iran and its proxies take advantage of the chaos to gain a foot hold in Arab countries.

    It's obviously a difficult time for escalation, especially due to multiple drains on attention, but what I don't get is why they risk upsetting China. The Chinese rely on exports for their economy and they've not really had a chance to flex their military muscles.

      You are absolutely right. The Houthi's seem dead set on provocation. I can only imagine that this reflects a combination of their servile relationship with Tehran and their general desperation after so many years of a failed struggle at home.
      China has been surprisingly quiet so far - but I suspect that this means they are speaking with the Western powers with naval bases in Djibouti (U.S. and France) through quiet channels and prefer to act quietly, letting the USA draw all the political ire.

    Red sea (Baby Al Mandan) is important for global shipping because:
    A. Main trade route between east Asia and Europe. They do a lot of trade, 30 percent of it goes thru here
    B. Most oil - Saudi, Iraq, Iran. Sent to the EU. They pass thru here. Ever since , Russian invade. They rely on this trade more. Qatar even uses it for liquified natural gas, - france, Italy Netherlands signed multiple long year decades to replace Russian foothold. If LNG die, so does EU
    After Israel invaded Gaza, Houthi then started war in those red sea site, and ruin oil (btw Houthi hate the government and Saudi), after control Sana'A. Their connection with Iran means they're gonna shut on Israel more cause they hate them (i.e firing missiles).
    Most of the ships being attacked are French, Norwegian and Chinese ships though. So that's crazy, but multiple shipping companies are not going thru there anymore, they're going thru Africa.
    This increases their profits, but this is bad for global economy - Egypt less people going thru Suez Canal. Which means they're losing money.
    Why are the Houthis doing this??
    1. They're doing this to improve domestic image - Houthis are in shambles, salaries are not given well. They do this they cast them selves as protector of not just Yemen but Arab people. Yemeni gov reluctant - people don't like
    2. Want to increase escalation. Forcing western navies to get involved, Iran proxies despite being quiet (I.e. not knowing about October 7th attacks). Or maybe they're doing this because now it's the best time to strike
    What happens next?
    US is trying to escort ships now!
    Even if Houthis don't attack US navythat are escorting them, if the US cannot convince commercial tankers to continue, it may hurt their economy.

      SAUDI ARABIA has fought the Houthis for more than 5 years they're now engaged in peace talks with them and Iran since they realised the US won't help. Why on earth would they reignite that feud and make themselves sitting ducks for missiles.
      QATARS entire foreign policy rests on being the diplomatic party they'd lose ALL credibility by joining a military coalition against the Houthis actions which haven't killed anyone but yet not joining or forming one to ensure restraint by Israel who's killed tens of thousands.
      EGYPT however is a different story outside of applying pressure on Israel and undermining US global naval security guarantees... it is Egypt which is the target of the Houthis. Egypt relies on the suez canal for income any impediment to that is catastrophic for its already fragile economy. They're being put between a rock and a hard place for their muted position on the atrocities in Gaza. They cannot afford to be vocal about Israelis actions let alone be bellicose because of their vulnerability to US economic pressure so now the Houthis have ingeniously learnt from the US and found a way to financially hurt Egypt. Remember the Egyptian public is in full support of Palestine but the military dictator is fully aware what percentage of their military budget comes from the US. What the Houthis have done is ensure that Sisi cannot be idle he'll want business back to usual but staying in power is more important. Deciding to join a military coalition against the Houthis when he won't even cut diplomatic ties with Israel is non starter. That would be to much for the 100 million Egyptians watching what's happening in Gaza to accept.

      You think we want another insecure autocrat throwing ice parties of billions for Western monarchs in the dessert and sending hooligans to beat us regularly while the people are starving?
      This comment sounds like you're from the previous century, we had a democratically elected leader, but some person thought the same and now we're stuck with this Islamic Republic. News flash: we're sovereign and independent and nobody's puppet.

      The fact that you think a single iranian in Iran supports reza pahvali, show your delusion. Reza is corrupt is fathers the sole reason for the revolution. He was a leader pushed by the west and not an iranian leader if you would step foot in iran i think he would he died in 24hrs.

    Why does the US need to do anything? If Europe feels so strongly about it they can bring forward a UN resolution and establish a mandate. Then we can look at getting a coalition together and deal with things.

      Because price impacts on natural gas or oil in other parts still effect the u.s. market. Strategic location which is important to control. "Fortress America" is dead this isn't world War 1 or 2 anymore where America can just sit behind its 2 oceans and do nothing. Also globalization of the world economy we are all linked. Slow down in European economies might not cause a recession in the U.S. but it will impact economic growth.

    US needs to start charging for security services or leave. Too many countries' trade free rides on American security. Maybe we could afford universal healthcare if half our military budget was covered by the global trade it enables.

    Why was the idea of Houthis intent to damage Israeli economy not examined in this video? Didn’t talk about the current and possible effect on Israel’s economy, and you almost completely dismissed the idea that this could be their intent despite it being their stated intent (they could be lying but examining both thoroughly is important).
