The Houthis have won again

The Houthis seem to have defeated the USA again. Larry Johnson estimates that the Americans spent $1 billion on attacking the Houthis this time including the cost of 2 jet fighters that fell off an aircraft carrier into the sea and were worth around $80 million each. Another was lost in a crash dodging a Houthi drone.

The Houthi are trying to help their fellow Arabs in Gaza by threatening Israeli ships. according to long time Moscow correspondent John Helmer they attacked only ships with Israeli beneficial owners, with one possible exception, until the US and UK decided to hunt down the Houthi in order to protect international shipping on the Suez canal.

Then the Houthi targeted US and British ships, so the Anglo-American action had the result of blocking the Suez canal to shipping, exactly what the Americans and British claimed to want to prevent.

The Houthi are remarkable warriors - and their success over the world's Superpower and her British satellite show the future of war.
