Itself obviously,don't feint ignorance lol. Being the undisputed world hegemon since ww2 has pros/cons. A pro is that everyone is forced to use greenbacks as a reserve currency. A con would be that the US gets the above benefit but only if the trade routes it profits off of, are protected.

Ansarallah closing the straight only brings the eu/whomever, closer to a non US reserve currency. This is why brics+ is a thing, the decline of America is happening right before your eyes.


Your determined to frame this as a big deal, probably because its all Iran has to seem relevant. Its a storm in a teacup.

The US is the least affected by what Houthis are doing.

Expect some EU navies to obliterate Houthis on the land.

This is a big deal if it escalates into a war. The Saudis tried for years to stomp out the Houthis unsuccessfully, also using modern western bought weapons and US intel. Just because US/UK/France send ships there and start bombing them doesn't automatically equate problem solved very fast.

The Saudis are militarily abysmal.

Having all the toys but none of the knowledge.

Cosco halts traffic to israel:

Besides the effect on trade between the Far East and Israel, COSCO’s decision is significant because it cooperates with Israeli shipping line ZIM, which will have to operate more ships on the Far East routes, which is liable to will lead to higher shipping costs, since XIM will be short of ships.

The second direct effect will be on the Haifa Bayport, which is operated by another state-owned Chinese company, SIPG. The port is dependent on the many COSCO ships that visit it.

Iran is probably thinking I can bleed my enemies by having Yemeni goat herdsmen launch 2k drones and have these retards use 2million AA to shoot it down and they will think they’re actually winning in the long term doing this. Who would have thought it could be this easy?

Houthi Attack on International Shipping

On Jan. 9, at approximately 9:15 p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthis launched a complex attack of Iranian designed one-way attack UAVs (OWA UAVs), anti-ship cruise missiles, and an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into the Southern Red Sea, towards international shipping lanes where dozens of merchant vessels were transiting.

Eighteen OWA UAVs, two anti-ship cruise missiles, and one anti-ship ballistic missile were shot down by a combined effort of F/A-18s from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), USS Gravely (DDG 107), USS Laboon (DDG 58), USS Mason (DDG 87), and the United Kingdom’s HMS Diamond (D34). This is the 26th Houthi attack on commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea since Nov. 19. There were no injuries or damage reported.

On Jan. 3, 14 countries, including the U.S, issued a joint statement stating, "The Houthis will bear the responsibility for the consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, or the free flow of commerce in the region's critical waterways."
