When stupid people take high decision making positions in Washington, the result is damaging the entire states. Today we are closest to witnessing the sinking of the entire US Navy than ever:

In other words this is not something US is capable of  "attacking and getting rid of". Yemen is currently more than capable of sinking the entire US navy, and every easily too.
After the terrorist attacks by the US Airforce on Yemeni cities mainly targeting civilians, the Armed Forces of Yemen responded to US regime's climbing of the escalation ladder and now their attacks on US positions are no longer using "light" projectiles like before with minimal damage as a warning. As I described capabilities in this topic before.

Yesterday the US carrier group in the region was hit hard. 1 US Navy aircraft carrier called USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and 2 US Navy destroyers (possibly USS O’Kane & USS Michael Murphy) supporting the carrier were successfully hit and the damage is significant.
The initial footage that are still coming out mostly on social media are showing the carrier group is still burning.


Even though it doesn't look like the current stage of escalation is "hit to sink" level but that will come right after this. If the US regime continues insisting on supporting Israeli terrorists and carries out terrorist attacks on Yemen like before, the next news we'll read and the next footage we'll see will not be some aircraft carrier on fire, it will be an aircraft carrier at the bottom of the Red Sea.

P.S. This was a preemptive strike before US regime could carry out another terrorist attack in Yemen using its airforce/navy. Basically the below picture Smiley

These numbers are unreliable but that is what we have: 18 drones + 2 anti-ship cruise missiles + 1 anti-ship ballistic missile were launched by Yemenis forces against the supporters of Genocide in Gaza ie. US and UK that had at least 1 aircraft carrier (USS Eisenhower) + 4 US destroyers + 1 UK destroyer (HMS Diamond) + a dozen fighter jets.

There is no reliable information about the damage caused to these targets so we'll skip that.
Some stuff are starting to become declassified and they're confessing to damages.

The British Daring-class air-defense guided missile destroyer called HMS Diamond that was incapacitated after being hit by the Yemeni anti-ship projectiles as I've speculated before was replaced by much weaker ship, a Type 23 frigate called HMS Richmond.

My speculation of what US regime is going to do against the Resistance in general is the same as a year ago: a proxy war by activating its terrorist cells.

Assuming they have got some groups in the favor within the Yemen territory, I believe that going for a proxy conflict would be extremely reckless of them, considering the risks of escalation in the middle west. They alledgely want for the conflict to be contained on the region of Gaza and I do not think Lebanon and Yemen getting involved would be good for anyone in this scenario seeking for a long Standing ceasefire.
If the United States started another proxy conflict, then it would be one between them and Iran, which is alledgely backing those rebels, I doubt they have got enough funding for both Ukraine, Israel and then own operations there in Yemen.
Also, I thought there were indeed some airstrikes, because I recall watching in the news some report about the United States confirming the death of some Yemeni rebels who were part of the militia strategically blocking the traffic in the red sea.



Sounds like the U.S. might be diving into a messy situation with those proxy wars. Funding and managing conflicts in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen all at once seems like a stretch. Those reported airstrikes definitely add a layer of tension. Have to keep an eye on how this unfolds.


It is quite devastating that the United States of America, having all this military and political power, is fueling wars all over the world for their hidden political agendas even american citizens see what is wrong with what their government is doing and has been going on rallies and protests to show resistance against the recent decisions of the government

It is no longer a fight for humanity but is rather a fight for political gain

These issue is very pathetic seen the government is not given ear to the desire of citizens it's already cleared that most of this quick response and resistance to put to stop even when humanity are lamenting is to retain power in certain area, the rapid growth and diverse technological improvement in every part of the world is very big treat I can't emphatically said if the purpose is to reduce population rather than save humanity.

Things are getting worse for the Coalition of Terror every day, specially after they made the mistake of attacking Yemen a little more than 2 weeks ago. Not a day goes by without US military bases across West Asia and US Navy aren't being bombed.

For example 2 or 3 days ago Armed Forces of Yemen had its longest face off with US Navy that lasted more than two hours. The US warships were desperately trying to protect a cargo carrier belonging to the US Department of Defense carrying weapons for Israel to help them continue the genocide so Yemen bombed the shit out of US Navy hitting at least two US destroyers and forcing the cargo carrier to escape the other direction.

Things are the same for those who participated in the coalition and were dumb enough to attack Yemen, namely England. For example last night Yemen sunk the British vessel Marlin Luanda (tanker carrying fuel for Israeli aircraft).

And of course the economic impact on Europe because they are supporting Genocide of Palestinians:


It should be added that like always the rest of the vessels that do not belong to the Coalition of Terror or are not heading for the Apartheid Zionist regime are safely passing the strait.


P.S. Some sources are predicting a ground invasion of Yemen is near. I'll try to start a new topic about it since it will not only expand the conflict by a lot with a significant effect on oil and gas price but also it will have a significant effect on Ukraine (Russian advances could speed up 10 times).

Anyways, this escalation was never supposed to happen, this conflict is supposed to get cooled down and instead there are serious risks of a regional conflict in the middle east. Very sad, very disturbing.
It is understandable though. You see, the US regime is currently caught between a rock and a hard place. Every choice they have is a terrible one.

* On one hand the regime that still wants to think itself a super power and wants others to think the same way, is being attacked every day and can't do anything about it. I mean it is unprecedented to see US military bases being attacked hundreds of times in 100 days and the only thing the regime does is to issue a choke act to censor the news! There is not much left of some of those bases and the casualties are piling on.


Then there is the Red Sea where at least 3 US warships have been damaged by retaliatory attacks and a lot more cargo ships headed toward Israel were either seized or attacked which is another unprecedented event while to this day US regime has failed to change the situation which is Yemen not allowing any ship head to Israel that is committing genocide.
That is regardless of their heavy naval presence:


So they had to do something to keep the illusion of lack-of-impotence up. Hence the attacks.

* On the other hand as I said they're aware that in any wide spread armed conflict they do pack a serious punch but it is not a conflict they can ever win. Otherwise bombing Yemen that has been bombed for the past 9 years is not going to achieve anything but something like the $13 billion USS Ford aircraft carrier sinking would be the end of US navy and then the US military.
That's not even counting the energy shortage and the unprecedented price rise which would devastate the already strained US economy and no interest rate rise would be able to counter oil shortage and price at something like $500 a barrel and the inflation caused by it.

So their attacks are small and very controlled to try and keep that "illusion" up without big escalation.

This is why their attack on Yemen had little to no effect.


Now the only question that is left is the response they're gonna receive for their acts of aggression and breaking of international laws.
For example
I even recall Donald Trump ordered the assassination of an important General from Iran some years ago.
In this case the regime not only broke the US law but also broke the international law on Acts of Terror. This is why Iran issued an international Red Notice for Trump and others involved (more than 40 IIRC).
But still the response that is our topic here was Iran heavily bombing two US military bases in Iraq with dozens of 2000 pound hypersonic ballistic missiles which left US with an estimated number of 280 casualties (~240 wounded + 140 dead), then followed that up by eliminating everyone in the list of Red Notice above like the commander of the 210th Red Horse Squadron deployed in Qatar and the CIA operatives in Afghanistan airspace (E-11A jet).
And a lot more but all of them are controlled and mostly censored in the media to prevent escalations while Iran's wrath continues.

In case of Yemen things are similar so far. Yemen has retaliated by attacking US navy directly but not with anything heavy like the cruise missiles I posted in the parade video above, so the damage was minimal. So no sinking, no further escalation while the news is being censored in the mainstream media.

My speculation of what US regime is going to do against the Resistance in general is the same as a year ago: a proxy war by activating its terrorist cells.
It appears that the part of my speculation about US not directly attacking Yemen was wrong. Although I still think this was a one time attack (to save face) and proxy war is still the doctrine, but last night in support of Genocide of Palestinians the US military launched an attack against Yemen using cruise missiles from its warships hitting 3 main targets in Yemen cities.
Initial reports talk of retaliatory response where at least one US vessel having been hit with a missile and also US military bases in Iraq having been bombarded with dozens of ballistic missiles with high casualties.
In the coming week we should see how this escalation continues...

Edit: some more information came out and it approves the part in parenthesis above. This was an attack to "save face", the targets were mainly fake targets, empty ground, etc. The casualties of Yemeni forces were only 5 dead!!! That is after being hit by 100 Tomahawk missiles Cheesy
The only thing that this attack achieved was turning US and English assets legitimate targets and Armed Forces of Yemen have already hit two more of their vessels over the past 24 hours.

Weirdly enough, I have seen some members of the United States Senate/House of Representatives to suggest Joe Biden carried out those attacks on Yemen illegally, because he did not passed through the Senate to declare war or formaly declare aggressions on a foreign nation.
At first, I thought that theory could have had some legal basic or sense in this dangerous context of escalation of aggressions, but I later read that the President of the United States seems to have the power to carry out strategical attacks in foreign territories, without even informing the senate. It would make sense in that case if we keep in mind the precendent of the attack against Osama Bin Landen and other members of Al Qaeda who were murdered by strikes ordered by the president. I even recall Donald Trump ordered the assassination of an important General from Iran some years ago.

Anyways, this escalation was never supposed to happen, this conflict is supposed to get cooled down and instead there are serious risks of a regional conflict in the middle east. Very sad, very disturbing.

That was the small boats that were attacked as I mentioned above. Which brings us to the retaliation today.
According to official statements by the Armed Forces of Yemen, this was the first stage of the revenge for the fallen troops (the boats I mentioned). This was a large scale attack using "many" drones, ballistic and cruise missile against an "American" ship. There is no mention of the count, type or the target's name.

I want to cover this from an economical point of view.
These numbers are unreliable but that is what we have: 18 drones + 2 anti-ship cruise missiles + 1 anti-ship ballistic missile were launched by Yemenis forces against the supporters of Genocide in Gaza ie. US and UK that had at least 1 aircraft carrier (USS Eisenhower) + 4 US destroyers + 1 UK destroyer (HMS Diamond) + a dozen fighter jets.

There is no reliable information about the damage caused to these targets so we'll skip that.
However, these ships are using ridiculously expensive ammunition to counter super cheap attacks.
For example according to UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps, HMS Diamond used its "sea viper missiles" which are Aster missile family each worth between £1-£2 million.
It is even worse on US side. US destroyers are using "precision air defense munitions" including SM series that cost between $2 to $4.8 million.

It is common to launch at least 2 missiles per projectile specially when protecting high valued targets. 3 projectile * 2 defensive missiles * $2 mil average = $12 million.
That's the minimum cost of defending against a single and a medium scale attack while assuming the drones were shot down without launching anti-aircraft missiles!

That's not even the worst part!!!
The worst part is that US Navy (don't have data on UK navy) doesn't have nearly enough SMs and they can't even produce enough of it in time. To know how depleted USN ammunitions are you can take a look at the Biden administration's budget request.
https://www.secnav.navy.mil/fmc/fmb/Documents/24pres/WPN_Book.pdf#page=161
He could only afford to ask for 125 SM-6 this year and that is only enough to put a handful of these missiles on board of a fraction of US navy vassals.

Now back to my previous post and my speculation about US attacking Yemen.
Not only it is impossible economically but also US doesn't even have enough ammunition to defend itself (at best 8 missile per ship) against Yemenis who would by then be defending their homes against a foreign invader and can legitimately sink all US ships. All it takes is to launch 9 missiles per ship that can defend against 8 Grin

It gets even worse when you consider how US navy has been exhausting its already low ammunitions to shoot down projectiles targeting the terrorist positions inside occupied Palestine over the past 3 months...

A low-cost Chinese drone has the [...] discover that they had targeted a $300 commercial drone purchased from Alibaba [...]
Considering how Yemen has been like a bigger Gaza (surrounded in a way that even humanitarian aid couldn't reach them) and the the videos released from their weapons (like the one I posted above from their parade) we can clearly see these are not Chinese technology and they are not bought. They are manufactured domestically and are Iranian technology (eg. the advanced and deadly Shahed-136 loitering munition @3:09).

I should also mention that the defeat of US-Arab invasion was not just the economical aspect, even though it played an important role. It was the capability of Yemenis forces to hit back. And it was all thanks to their ingenious way of warfare.
For example they used a combination of drones and missiles. The drones were either targeting the Patriot batteries directly to open up the airspace for the follow up projectiles (could be different drones or missiles) or simply overwhelmed the batteries and exhausted their defensive missiles so that they don't have anything to defend against the follow up projectiles.

Though, I am not an expert or anything about the use of military graded missils, but I thought those weapons launched at those distances were only effective against static targets like infrastructure or cities/enemy bases, because moving targets at that distance sounds rather prone to inaccuracy, even having the surprise factor on one's side.
It depends on the type of the projectile that was used, there are many different types and the technologies differ from country to country that would also determine their effectiveness and accuracy.
From ASBMs that only 4 countries have (China, Russia, Iran and India) to more common stuff like AShM (launched from fighter jets) and of course the drones and cruise missiles.

As for accuracy I believe the most accuracy belongs to cruise missiles and the least accuracy is for ASBMs. Although in all of this some of the Iranian weapons are on an entirely different scale. For example in the realm of ballistic missiles Iranian BMs have less than 1 meter error for every 1000 km range while the next best thing belongs to United States that has from 100 meter up to 1 km error in some cases for every 1000 km range. Then there are Russian and Chinese accuracy that follow that up.

The case here is definitely using drones although we don't have any information about their type. It could be unmanned aircraft carrying AShM launched at the target or it could be a loitering munition (suicide drone) that hits its target at such a distance which means they either need satelite control (which I doubt Yemen has access to) or a very advanced artificial intelligence that is used in operations in long range and a network of command and control drones controlling the loitering munition (which is what they used). But the accuracy is high even against moving targets.

I wonder what the United States plans to do in order to counter attack, besides the usual strikes in Yemen. I doubt they will dare to send troops to Yemen, it would be a further step into escalation in this war.  Huh
They haven't dared an airstrike either. The biggest thing they did recently (like 10 days ago) was send a couple of helicopters to intercept and attack some Yemeni small boats in the sea.

My speculation of what US regime is going to do against the Resistance in general is the same as a year ago: a proxy war by activating its terrorist cells.

Yemen's reach is far. Two oil tankers that belonged to the Zionist regime were attacked in Indian Ocean north of Maldives. That is more than 2000 km away and there is the largest concentration of US navy between the two Wink



Not really that surprising whether we keep in mind that during the beginning of this madness and escalation, the United States actually happened to intercept some missils which were fired from Yemen and had their target on Israel.
So we should not actually be surprised those rebels/fighters in Yemen actually have the capabilities to attack vessels at thousands of miles away from the coast of Yemen.
Though, I am not an expert or anything about the use of military graded missils, but I thought those weapons launched at those distances were only effective against static targets like infrastructure or cities/enemy bases, because moving targets at that distance sounds rather prone to inaccuracy, even having the surprise factor on one's side.

be constructive or S.T.F.U
attempt at reducing the costs, specially since they claim shooting down a single $2k Yemeni drone costs $2+ million!

This was the primary reason why the Saudi-led intervention failed to defeat the Houthis. These inexpensive drones have revolutionized the nature of warfare. A low-cost Chinese drone has the potential to inflict significant damage on the economy of a nation with a sophisticated defense system. Saudi Arabia spent nearly $265 billion on that war until they were forced to stop. The advanced and sophisticated defense systems they employed cost millions per launch, only to discover that they had targeted a $300 commercial drone purchased from Alibaba  Shocked. The wealthy Saudis couldn't sustain such spending, leading them to engage in negotiations with the Houthis.

It's worth noting that the Houthis' demands are straightforward. I don't know how does the Western media translates their demands, I've heard them in their native language. Their initial condition was to target only ships heading to Israel until the latter ceased the genocide against Palestinians. All other ships were free to sail. Their second demand was to facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid to Gaza; otherwise, other ships might not be safe. The U.S. didn't have to start an expensive operation in the Red Sea. They simply needed to force the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza which happens to be a publicly stated objective of the American administration. This makes you wonder!: Does the U.S control Israel, or is it the other way around?

It's no longer news that the united States is the brain behind all the conflicts and killings going on around the world, what they are actually doing now is they will refuse to address an issue that may result into conflicts, till when it has gone out of hand.
After that, they will start puring fuel into fire by sending weapons, instead of call for restrain.

I'll never support war or killings of innocent people because it's inhumane to target and kill people who have not done any wrong,
wars unfortunately should be between trained personals and should have rules of engagement. I know that majority of nations depends on a few powerful nations to supply them killing machines, this is a normal trade, because nations map out a lot of money in their budgets to buy arms and amunitions to protect their territories, so without being biased in this evil trade which every nation participates in, US supplies Israel, with weapons for their forces to fight with, I think that is a normal waepon trade, just like everyother nations do. Perhaps Hamas, should also buy arms from other weapon manufacturing nations and protect their citizens, seeing that it's them that started the offensive in the first place. I'm by no means supporting Israel, if they're targeting Palestinian civilians as alleged.

That's like saying that you aren't in the US or one of the NATO countries, or that you don't pay taxes.

The thing is, Israel is a tool for Arabs as Ukraine is for Russia. US used Ukraine to deter the Russia which could have been a challenge to their hegemony.
Similarly they are using Israel to check the population of Palestinians and Arabs so that there'd be fewer Muslims trying to take over US, like they did in Europe.

...on the civil war between Saudi Arabia and Yamen...
A Civil War is a war fought between groups within the same country, but when foreign actors from other countries are one side of the war, that war becomes an invasion.

Yemen militia is trying to inflict economical damages in the Israel economy
Not just an economical damage, they are basically doing to Israel what Israel did to Palestine: cut off their resources.
From first week of this invasion, the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza stripe (which is basically a prison) have been living with no water, food, electricity, internet, etc. since it was either cut off or the infrastructure destroyed as IDF directly targets those. This is why they've been drinking sea water, gathering rain and sometimes smuggle food through a hole inside their prison wall like this: https://www.aparat.com/v/qOIJ9

So Yemen is currently trying to cut off at least part of the supply reaching the IDF terrorists to even the odds.

I am not sure what would be the objective of the coalition, obviously it is about getting those products to Israel as quickly as possible, so their local economy won't get severely affected,
The objective is for the pariah regime of United States to desperately claw at the hegemony it's been losing. Once upon a time US Navy ruled the seas, today USN is a joke.

Another objective is to increase the firepower needed to shoot down projectiles coming from Yemen headed towards terrorist positions.
You see at any time US Navy + US bases in between + Saudi/Jordanian/Egyptian defenses can only detect a fraction of those projectiles and then they can only engage and shoot down a fraction of what they detect. Increasing the number of warships in the Red Sea can increase the chances of shooting down a higher percentage of those projectiles.

In any case even with the entire NATO navy in the territorial waters they won't be able to protect those ships, nor would any shipping company, insurance company, etc. would be willing to work with Israel anymore and risk being targeted or seized by Armed Forces of Yemen.

however, I am not sure whether they mean to achieve it by attacking and getting rid of the Yemen milia or by reorganizing the commerce routes so they do not have anything to be afraid of.
FYI about 10 years ago the US-Arab coalition started invasion of Yemen and for about 8 years they bombed the entire country destroying everything and killing countless people. Early on the "resistance" was only a bunch of barefoot militia that were mostly Houthis.
Today Yemen Army is no longer a "militia" or "rebels" as US propaganda machines like to call them. It is a solid military known as Ansarollah with over a million highly trained servicemembers that Houthis are only a part of. They possess most advanced weapons specifically drones and missiles and they've shown solid capabilities in air defense (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR5rtB7MuwU). At this point they are categorized as a stronger military compared to half of NATO members[1].

In other words this is not something US is capable of  "attacking and getting rid of". Yemen is currently more than capable of sinking the entire US navy, and every easily too. All it takes is an overwhelming number of specialized anti-ship loitering munitions (aka suicide drones) to exhaust the vessels' defenses and do some damage; followed by a handful of heavy anti-ship cruise missiles that would tear a destroyer apart like knife cutting through butter.
After all a destroyer or an aircraft carrier is nowhere near as defended as the US bases in Saudi Arabia or the Saudi Aramco which Yemenis easily attacked and destroyed using the strategy I just explained.

[1] Example: https://www.aparat.com/v/XLndE
@3:44 + @3:48 none of the NATO members except US and France own such long range high speed cruise missiles!
And my favorite @4:04 this is a 10.5 meter medium range ballistic missile weighing 4.5 ton with high maneuverability and hypersonic speed and most importantly pinpoint accuracy. This is something none of NATO members including US can even dream of ever building Wink
