Houthis, defying U.S. strikes, attempt another attack on U.S.-owned commercial ship
cbsnews.com
The targeting of another U.S.-owned commercial ship Wednesday shows the militant group remains intent on continuing its attacks in the face of multiple rounds of U.S. military airstrikes.
The Houthis launched anti-ship ballistic missiles at the U.S.-owned, flagged and operated commercial ship Maersk Detroit as it was transiting the Gulf of Aden, according to a statement from the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Gravely shot down two missiles and a third fell into the water. There were no indications of damage or injuries in the attack.
The U.S. military has been conducting airstrikes against the Houthis to degrade their capabilities since Jan.11, after several weeks of attacks on commercial ships by the militant group.

lol Ukraine is a bargain. I think the US has spent maybe 2% of the entire military budget supplying Ukraine with weapons. In exchange we get to see the last large generation of Russians turned into fertilizer along with all of their frontline hardware.
Israel is perfectly capable of turning the Gaza Strip into a moonscape without much support from the US.
The US hasn’t even touched the hardware needed to take on China (long range missiles and aircraft). On top of that we now have a west that is more united than ever behind the American Hegemony.
I think the US can afford to let a few off the chain and rain some good old fashioned freedom on a few Houthis.
You're talking like Goku is stronger than One Punch Man because he can go SSJ9001. War isn't some attack power meter where the party with more attack power just magically wins. Tell me how more about how America just won against the Taliban.
Israel's iron meme system got wrecked by a bunch of Hamas fireworks. Their wall penetrated like it's nothing. Just like how israel can flatten Gaza, Hezbollah can flatten israel. Everyone can flatten each other these days. Rockets and Drones are insanely cheap and stopping them is expensive.
The question is if you think that's a good solution to the problem. From behind your keyboard it must look really funny.
War is never a good solution, but I prefer to be on the side making the craters than getting cratered.
Yes.
Everyone is getting cratered.
:Looks up: nope my sky is clear and I’m thousands of miles and an ocean away. That sound like a you problem.
Are you talking about israel vs their neighbours right now or about America?
You stated everyone was getting cratered. Who do you define as everyone?
israel and their surrounding countries. Which is what this conversation is about.
No, I commented on a thread about the US being stretched to provide support for Israel and Ukraine. You made it about Israel only. But on any case I think Israel can crater the Gaza strip without much damage other side.
Hamas picked a fight they can’t win.
Yeah israel hasn't cratered Gaza yet because they're so nice and totally not genocidal.
You do know that israel lost their previous war with Hezbollah right?
Looks pretty bombed to shit to me.

It's pretty bombed to shit in the north. Cratering means the entirety with the civilians inside.
lol, No that just means making craters. But none the less, I don’t see the same type of change taking place on territory held and populated by Israel.
I doubt Hamas could even come close to revisiting the same destruction upon Israel. They can’t even save themselves let alone go on the offensive. None of the marginal allies of Hamas really give enough of a shit about them to help them even try.
I think we are about a third of the way through the “find out” stage for Hamas. It will be interesting to see how much is left when they are done.
