/ world today news/ The United States again stupidly got involved in a hopeless conflict with the Houthis, who do not seem unhappy. A losing hegemon, with a group of his closest vassals at hand, could not do otherwise, even though nothing good was waiting for them in Yemen.
They have no ground troops to fight the Houthis on the ground, and airstrikes alone will not achieve any serious goals; Yemen’s blockade of the Red Sea due to Israeli actions in Gaza will not be lifted. The new front opened by the US is advantageous for Russia – both for military reasons, especially with regard to Ukraine, and for economic reasons.
The Anglo-Saxons could not do otherwise. Everyone understood that this would happen, although the smartest guessed that the scenario of this spectacle was written in Iran, which has been waging a hybrid proxy war with the West for a long time, and it is not excluded in Russia. To be safe, look for someone else who benefits.
On Friday night, US and British armed forces attacked targets of Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement. Washington and London claim that missiles, drones, radar stations and critical infrastructure sites have been hit. In total, they hit about 60 targets. The aggressors claim that there are no victims. It makes perfect sense. Since they don’t consider Yemenis as people, that’s it.
Malbrook goes to war…
A tragicomic detail: the attack was “directed” from his hospital bed by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. A Pentagon official told CNN that Austin had spoken to President Joe Biden several times about the matter and (?!) was “actively involved in monitoring and directing strikes’. Isn’t it a circus?
Let’s see if Austin – not only politically, but also in the literal sense of the word – will survive the very possible news that the Yemenis have started shooting at NATO ships with their (Iranian) UAVs and missiles and may have even sunk some.
The aggression was so predictable that the Houthis and the Iranians behind them were probably prepared for it and had already learned how to fire ballistic missiles at ships.
As The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing a Pentagon source, in anticipation of a US-British attack, the Houthis have taken care in advance of the safety of their arsenals, storing in particular their missiles in bunkers in the city of Sana’a.
US cowardice and excuses
Biden, who twice violated the US constitution by opening a new front in the Middle East through the head of Congress, tried to justify himself. It looked pitiful.
Today, at my direction, US forces, together with the United Kingdom and with the support of Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands, successfully struck several targets in Yemen that the Houthi rebels use to threaten freedom of navigation. – said the president’s statement.
What Biden said next is one of the most authoritative affirmations to date of the collapse of US global dominance:
The strikes are a direct response to the Houthis’ unprecedented attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, including the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles for the first time in history.
According to the US president, who has been tolerating this situation for several months, “more than 50 countries” have been affected as a result of 27 Houthi attacks.
Specifically, “more than 2,000 ships have been forced to divert thousands of miles to avoid the Red Sea, which could lead to weeks of cargo delivery delays” and “on January 9, the Houthis launched their largest attack to date directly against American ships.”
Biden cowardly called the attack on Yemen “defensive action”. The president recalled that the United States has long “warned” and “condemned” the Houthis, saying that if necessary, he would “without hesitation” further protect “free international trade” and stop attacks on American troops.
The Houthis will certainly respond, even though the attack proved “hollow”
And now the United States generally insists that this was little more than a warning strike, and if the Houthis come to their senses, they will consider the “incident over.”
The problem for America and its vassals is that in Yemen, where they love to fight, regardless of losses, and consider it an honor to soap the neck of the United States, Britain and its minions, especially Israel, do not consider aka at all.
Our country was subjected to massive military aggression by American ships, submarines and warplanes. Surely London and Washington must be prepared to pay a heavy price – said the Yemeni Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein al-Azi, quoted by the Lebanese television channel Al Mayadeen.
The Yemeni authorities reported that the strikes on the country did not cause real and serious damage and that there is no broad anti-Yemeni coalition in the Red Sea – only the US and British navies operate there.
More nonsense. Americans and Brits only!
This is really very important. No other allies of Washington and London, including France and Germany, no sovereign Arab country (miniature Bahrain, one might say, is occupied by the United States), especially Saudi Arabia, which until recently has long and unsuccessfully fought the Houthis, are expressed willingness to engage with Yemen, despite the blockade of the Red Sea and the Bab el Mandeb strait, motivated by the Israeli genocide of Gaza.
Meanwhile, the US and especially the UK will not last long. Without a ground operation, all that is happening now is “air crunching” and a waste of a lot of money, not to mention the rather meager stockpile of precision weapons that could be used in other ways.
This is a diversion of financial and military resources from the Ukrainian front against Russia, from direct support for Israel, possible action against Iran and the brewing conflict over Taiwan.
It is clear that this operation will not have a major impact on the determination and ability of the Houthis to close the Red Sea to Israel. Temporarily, the number of attacks and seizures of ships related to Israeli interests may decrease, but then everything will quickly “normalize”.
The worst is yet to come
In addition, if Iran is directly involved in the conflict, everything could become much worse for the West and lead to the complete closure of not only the Red Sea, but also the Persian Gulf to international trade. For the world economy, such a development will be a real shock.
And that’s not all: if the Anglo-Saxons do not give up Yemen, American bases in the Middle East will go up in flames, and “surgical strikes” can boomerang on their own territory. The Houthis are the ones who are indifferent to losses, in the West everything will be different.
In short, the United States faces another massive setback in a region where its position is already severely undermined.
So what?
How will all this affect Russia? Positive! Very positive! And it’s not just that Ukraine will get less weapons and less money as a result. A big mess in the Arabian Peninsula region will cause oil and gas prices to skyrocket, benefiting Russia. Unplanned huge revenue never bothered anyone, especially during the war.
