re: Houthis double down and attacked another ship

The Houthis have been fighting a war with Saudi Arabia for like a decade. Bombing them isn't going to work.
Bombing them diminishes their capability, but it’s like whack-a-mole. They won’t stop.
If you want it to stop - you gotta hit the source: Iran. But this administration prefers to send them cash.
All the result of US weakness.
And if a missile manages to get through to a US ship - This administration has blood on their hands. They removed Houthis from terrorist lists, and fund Iran.

We don’t win unless we actually invade, and the resources required for that are staggering. And then you have a regional war too. It’s not a realistic option
But let’s go back and question the original premise. Which Washington never does.
We’re fighting these battles for Israel. Does that make sense? Does it serve an American interest?
Absolutely not

I don’t think so
It’s a long time ago now, but our SCUD hunt in Iraq was unsuccessful. We didn’t get any. Our technology has of course improved but it’s the same needle haystack issue.

It’s pretty embarrassing

Iran did this shite before and we smacked them down and it stopped.
We don’t need to invade. That’s insane. There’s dozens of ways to get it to stop immediately - all low risk.

I don't see why not. We don't have to clear the trenches, we just have to shoot every head that pops up above the wire. Do that enough times and they quit poking their head up and are neutered.

On second thought...why not require all able bodied illegal aliens that crossed the border to serve in our military and ship them over to the middle east.... That should stop the chinese nationals and a few others like gang bangers

HIT them again. Learning can be painful sometimes...

This is already in the works, but the American-born soldiers will be sent overseas to fight while the foreign-born soldiers will be used to suppress the American civilians here.

Imagine what it cost for those missiles? We need to step back and let the trade stop for a awhile. The countries that depend on that area for trade will have to step-up. Some of these have received military aid for decades.

Well, this is a stupid idea.

No, your way has been tried for decades. 40% of the trade thru the Red Sea is Asia to Europe, why are we footing the bill for Europe and China? Do you not realize we are broke?

Do you somehow still believe that playing whack-a-mole in the Middle East is an effective strategy? After the last three decades?
Do you not see the huge fricking geographic difference with this war? Taliban could cross into Pakistan. Drive them to the sea, set up patrol boats, and push.

True, but it's always the option that comes first to the US.
Iraq invaded in 2003, still there.
Syria invaded in 2014, still there.
