Misleading titles are a scourge, even with respectable institutions these days. The Houthis defeated the Navy using the same tactics as the Vietnamese or Al Queda, raids utilizing speed and exploiting the lack of autonomy versus their ability to turn on a dime.

Every time there's been a direct confrontation, they melt away which is why I said misleading and not incorrect. They're making gains but it's not because they're more powerful or advanced. The US Navy is a lumbering juggernaut that can level almost anything that confronts it directly but against a shadowy opponent that obeys no traditional tactics?

This is going to get worse because they're going to have to escalate, which just broadens the conflict and brings the risk of other elements getting more involved. The only other option is to withdraw or severely reduce support for Israel and that's not going to happen because this is about utilizing the proxy to leverage the region.

The US will divert another country's GDP worth of resources before giving up that foothold.

This is like saying the US lost the bloods in Atlanta cause they still exists.

These people are not attacking US soldiers, they are are attacking random ships and the US is still running deep drone programs and arming the Saudis.


These animals just blew up a ship that created a environmental disaster for their fish industry :snoop:

All I’m seeing is excuses regarding the Houthis.

Wasn't the US Navy supposed to teach Yemenis why America doesn't have healthcare?



Why are Western newspapers saying that America lost (like Vietnam or Afghanistan)?

The Houthis are chilling and even have time to release music videos:
