Revenge of the Houthis

The Houthis are tearing things up over there. Another ship hit within a few days of the last one:

The 44,000-ton M/V Tutor was struck a few days ago and is in serious trouble. It's been abandoned by its crew and appears to be sinking: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2259g2wpqo

Yup, the Houthis are causing Israel all.kinds.of.trouble.

So wrapped up in massacring Palestinians, the Israelis didn't notice how much their economy depends on maritime traffic that passes through the Babd-el-Mandeb. With that bottleneck square in the sights of hostile Muslims.

Muslims who haven't been bought off by America, e.g. Jordan and Egypt; and who're in a position to do something about Israel's viciousness towards the Palestinians.

Then there's the still open question about whether the Houthis put one into the USS Eisenhower. Which for some unknown reason quickly departed its patrol area, along with it's carrier strike group... without a replacement.

And let's not forget the story of the British warship The Guardian recently reported on as having been struck in a Houthi attack... which quickly exited the Internet.

One problem for the NATO coalition force is how the Houthis are sending out fake $2,000 missiles on bogus attacks - which cause NATO (though not Israel of course) a great deal of $$$ to shoot down: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/19/missile-drone-pentagon-houthi-attacks-iran-00132480

Pretty smart of them if you ask me.

Thanks, Israel for all you're doing for us!
