Houthis Red Sea Blockade

Submitted by Mary Christine

Via Winter Watch

The much-anticipated US naval coalition (Operation Prosperity Guardian) against Yemen was expected to have Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt on board, but ended up with only Bahrain, as well as its usual Western clients. None of Yemen’s Red Sea neighbors wanted to risk a war with the Ansarullah (Houthis) for the sake of the US. No one wants to be a US proxy. This is a clear sign of US isolation.

I am not sure what else is left other than a sunk US aircraft carrier either by neglectful tactics or false flag. The Houthis have hypersonic anti-ship missiles at the ready.

In fact the blockage of shipping in the Red Sea is a fiat accompli as most of the world’s container shippers will no longer use this route. Nothing is moving in and out of Eilat, Israel.  That puts the onus on the US coalition.

The map shows the terrain of western Yemen. The Houthis have been fortified there for a decade. It is unclear how bombing there will accomplish anything other than further deplete US arsenals.

FOR LAST MINUTE GIFTS

Is the US going to insert Marines into the mountains in the homeboys turf? With the Saudis out of the fray, that leaves few paths in.

As the reconstruction of Ukraine approaches Vladimir Putin gestures to Poland, Romania and Hungary that they can be restored their provinces stripped away by Stalin in 1945. This is shown on map. Says “if you want them, Russia has no objection”.

I don’t believe the author knows just how MUCH “fuck you money” Uncle Samuel has. He spent the last ~250 years stealing from the most industrious people on the planet.War is…bombing without counting the cost.

Uncle Samantha’s “fuck you” money has already been spent on globohomo gender reassignment.

This decade will see the demolition of the Dollar’s reserve currency status. It will end the Fed’s money-printing and multi-trillion dollar deficits. Inflation will roar in devalued dollars. We will ALL wind up counting the costs of bombing anyone who doesn’t ‘agree’ with our rules-based hegemony.

The U.S.’s suicidal economic and international policies already have everybody in the U.S. who is not on China’s payroll squeezed ever tighter into a financial and security corner. To make all the money taxable, CBDC’s will be hackable. “Sorry folks, we don’t know who took all the money!”

Our free-fall into societal collapse can only be subsumed by war’s survival imperative – when real terror strikes the US.

The MIC knows it will run out of fake money, which means the end of fake wars – so a real, global conflagration must be sparked. WWIII will happen because, as Pepe Escobar eloquently opines, we stand fearful at the precipice of USA’s ‘abyss’, the demolition of our economy and rule of law,

“…the incandescent symmetry between impotence and imperative.”

“The song remains the same, from the steppes of Donbas to the oil fields of West Asia. How can the multipolar Global South – increasingly represented by the expanded BRICS – manage a raging, fearful, out-of-control imperialist west staring into the abyss of moral, political, and financial collapse?”

Sure, but they’re not indisputable even with the “table of nations” in Genesis and the purported correlation with modern nations. And anyway, most of the people who say with assurance that X is Gog and Y is Magog etc etc seem to be the people who want to give Israel free hand to kill as many innocent Palestinians as they want to. They’re also the ones who expect Jesus to preside over an earthly kingdom – handing out dispensations for parking tickets – even though He said “My kingdom is not of this world”.

I’m sure the Pastor will correct me.

SUEZ CANAL & Red Sea Shipping Route Shut Down

This Yemeni log on the fire isn’t about Operation ‘Get the Pirates’ securing commercial shipping through the Red Sea to the Suez Canal and the ports of Eilat and Aqaba.

It’s about shutting those corridors down with a hot conflict. That would allow Israel to to complete its plans to establish a ‘Land Bridge’ between Haifa and Abu Dubai on the Persian Gulf. An economic corridor circumventing the need to ship through ‘The Gate of Tears’ or around the Cape.

I’m doubtful any significant economic corridor in the ME that serves Israel’s interest can be built during the storm boiling on its horizon, but I’d like to see them try. Spark it off, Schlomo!.

Democrats and Republicans are both complicit in spreading the ‘Bomb Iran’ brain fever. McStain sang a song about it while campaigning in 2007.

It is Israel’s feverish wet dream to have Americans die fighting Iran and Russians for them. Seems they’ll get what they want.

It is Zion’s unelected, unaccountable Neocon, hooked-beak, dual citizens appointed by both both sides of the aisle to the State Department and our emasculated Pentagon driving this country into Iran’s ditch, Yemen. Convincing everyone we must storm into destruction like good goy submissives. We’ve embraced a stategy of shooting our feet.

Our State Department and MIC can’t get enough of being pimped by Israel; we’re every towelhead’s little bitch.

Following the outbreak of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the Houthis began to fire missiles at Israeli cities and ships in the Red Sea; the attacks marked the first instance of space warfare in human history, as Israel began to actively intercept the Houthis’ ballistic missiles in outer space.

Yes, of course, outer space warfare with Houthi rebels. Totally legit.

Just curious, has anti-ship warfare always been space based or is this a recent development of the high tech Shia cabal?

Hypersonic is a nice buzzword.
But there are zero missiles capable of hypersonic speeds in the atmosphere below 90km as claimed

Hypersonic speeds end where atmospheric density causes too much heat.

Look at the list of hypersonic vehicles

Both the Houthi’s and Iran are in a good position to cause all kinds of problem for the US Navy. A few decades ago, some genius decided that US ships did not need to be tendered at sea anymore.. That means if either the Houthi’s or Iran lets loose with 100 missiles, or drones, or a combination, it would cause a US destroyer to launch its entire complement of intercept missiles, at millions each, and then the entire task force would have to leave the theater and go to a port to be reloaded.

Had a buddy who crewed on an oiler during Vietnam-the ship was based in Manila and would go on 2 week supply runs to carrier groups with everything from fuel, munitions, ice cream, and steak with good red wine for the officer’s mess. The supply guy who managed to get extra steak above the requisition was treated like a king; extra wine was a lot more problematic.
