Cost of US military offensive against Houthis nears $1 billion with limited impact
Posted on 4/4/25 at 2:57 pm

That doesn’t even include the 17 MQ-9 Reapers the Houthis have downed so far, an estimated loss of $595 million.
Initially, the Houthis were targeting ships heading to Israel in the Red Sea, in response to the war in Gaza. Then, after Trump and Biden intervened on Israel’s behalf, the Houthis began engaging directly with the U.S. Navy.
Now, two U.S. aircraft carriers are stationed in the Red Sea, conducting up to 70 airstrikes per day—while simultaneously defending against a barrage of drones and missiles.
What exactly was Trump’s endgame for his war in Yemen?
This seems like a conflict with no end in sight.

Yea, but like JD Vance said in the Signal chat, 4% of the trade through the Suez is US trade, and 40% is European.
And like he said, we should let Europe handle this.
But his warhawk buddies, Waltz, Rubio and even Gabbard and Hegseth couldn’t wait to kill some civilians for Israel!!
Even after Kent reminded them that the timeline would be same 3 weeks ago or 2 months from now. (Obviously, neither would work)
Surprise! Bombing Houthis didn’t work under Obama, Trump1, or Biden. But it funnels $ back to the MIC and keeps Bibi happy.
Get to work US taxpayers!!! We got bombs to waste!

Hell, we shot down our own plane and tried to shoot two more down.
An FA-18 cost over 50 million. No telling how much the missiles cost.

Yemen is the Poorest Country in the ME
Waste. Of. Time.

Yemen is a country located in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula and covers an area of 203,850 square miles. The country has a GDP of about $73.445 billion and a population of over 25 million, translating to a GDP per capita of $2,500 which is the lowest in the Middle East. Oil accounts for about 90% of the country’s exports with the country having over 4 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.

At least Elon is saving us a few million shutting down national parks and SS help lines.
Makes up for 2 days bombing the Houthis for nothing. The other 3 weeks just more debt for our grandkids.

How about the same results with no taxpayer money wasted?
Seriously?
Dropping expensive arse bombs with no results. Well, let’s do it some more!
Maybe we can get more war!
Can’t imagine how we got $36 trillion in debt!

This is a proxy war we are fighting for the Saudis.
The Houthis destroyed the Saudis in their brand new American equipment when SA “invaded” Yemen.

You talking about a stabbing that killed a high schooler? What does that have to do with Yemeni rebels?

The Saudis were morons and sent tanks in with no infantry support. It wasnt about the quality of the equipment
