In your experience, does labor get exported by poorer people to richer people or by richer people to poorer people?

The world's largest exporters of manufactured goods are all the richest countries in the world (China, then US, Germany, Holland, Japan, etc).

Not many people actually are aware our navy, and our navy alone, is what allows "free trade" such as it is today to exists. We guarantee the security of goods being shipped from pirates, etc.

One of the fricking dumbest things anyone on earth could do is attack our navy

China is rich?

The people are poorer than those to whom they export. When America exports it's mostly high end labor like software, or highly engineered products that we export in spite of our labor. Also mic materiel.

I’m sure this will end well for the US. Air strikes will never stop the Houthis missiles. Just Ask the Saudis and Biden how that turned out. Trump will request boots on the ground to defend Israel.
Book it.

Hopefully we finish off the air defenses and make a couple heavy bomber runs over strategic targets to drive the point home.

Imagine doing a victory lap over bombing some insignificant goat herders.

That should take care of it.

Why didn’t we ever try bombing before?

More bombing tailgate tents in the desert and immediately replaced “infrastructure”. Woohoo!

This will definitely make the Houthis stop.

We aren't importing oil through the Red Sea.

These are U.S. owned, crewed, and flagged ships. That means that these companies pay U.S. taxes and are entitled to the U.S. Navy's protection.

Nuclear Armed Superpower: 1. Goat herders in tents: 0.

Are we trying to drain Iran by allowing them to fund proxies?

If they shoot at a US naval vessel its our problem


But then you have to ask, why are US naval vessels there protecting someone else's assets?

About time.

Btw, this is how this is done.

You take the fight straight to them, blow them to shite, then come home.

You don't stay and rebuild their country.

Let them figure out what happened and learn from it.


I am generally non-interventionist, but if we are going to do this, we need to eradicate them with expediency and get the frick out.
