For the love of God, at least go after the launch sites and C/C facilities....

Congrats Houthis.

You have successfully made the President of the United States (nothing to be proud of you're just another in a long line), the United States Central Command, the US Navy & Air Force look like a bunch of straight up pussified bitches.

Is counting the number of attacks and shooting down their missiles and drones the best we can do?  Correction.  Is that all we CHOOSE to do?

The Houthis are pimples on the ass of the world.  If we can't smash a bunch of primitives hiding in the desert launching shit at WORLD shipping then how the FUCK are we supposed to deter China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea or the next country that decides to go ape shit?

I thank the Houthis for a couple of things though.

1.  They've shown what a joke these combatant commands truly are.  AT BEST they're just another layer of bureaucracy.

2.  They've shown that when it comes time to actually do shit and not simply parade around and have the senior officers drinking cocktails at a party, that partnerships are straight bullshit.

This should have been low hanging fruit for the "partnership" concept but even against these desert fucks, the EU countries got chickenshit scared.  Not against a possible war with China. They got nervous about strikes against the Houthis.

3.  They've shown that deterrence is a joke.  All we heard was bluster.  All we saw was our warships being deployed to the region and even a couple of aircraft carriers being extended to stay there long after they should have gone home.  Houthis didn't care one bit.  They did what they did.  All that firepower and they basically said fuck you, we do what the fuck we want?  You can't deter someone that wants the fight.  The Houthis want the fight and like most bullies all we were doing is talking shit hoping we could bluff our way out of throwing punches.
