Houthi Red Sea Blockade

I hope the mail arrives in Houthiland via cruise missile. This pussyfooting around with bad guys got the West in this situation.

In what way do the Houthi's differ from Trump? Which is not saying I disagree with your point. Israel has been fighting against bleeding hearts in the west for ever.

Their lives are already miserable. Which side is more politically able to withstand the specific types of misery they’re likely to be subjected to? Can the Houthis withstand ongoing bombing more than the developed world can withstand the impact on oil and other trade flows?

The idea is to bleed the Houthi dry of technology and force them back into their hill forts. The Houthi don't have significant stockpiles, which is why the Iranians are trying to resupply them by air. Frankly I would have KSA on the behalf of the Yemen government, shoot down any aircraft from Iraq or Iran that attempts to land in Yemen. Advise them and the world in advance that is the intent, once they lose one aircraft, they won't risk another.

KSA are the state who supported the 9/11 terrorists. They are not a reliable partner.
