You are mostly wrong with the highlighted comment.
In Vietnam, the US was never defeated on the battlefield. We were defeated politically.

That's called defeat
The Vietnamese were able to resist
If I remember they killed about 50,000 Americans?
Refused to give up until the U.S for one reason or another threw the towel in.
Same as in Afghanistan

Comparing today's Yemen to Vietnam is basically wrong.
The sole advantage of the US and its NATO stooges is the air superiority. Yemen has decent A2/AD assets. They just have to keep USN away from their shores and it will be done.
Vietnam lacked A2/AD capability.

Naysayers don't pay attention to political considerations and realities and unwisely underestimate kinetic options of a superpower.
The US chose to reshape political landscape of Germany, Japan, Iraq, and Libya. However, the US does not aim to reshape political landscape of every country or have a decisive outcome in every regional conflict situation. The US can have limited objectives and it is usually an opportunity to test new tools of war in real-time. Theory of Limited War.

There are two Korean states (North Korea and South Korea). The Korean War was a major escalation between US-led forces and communist forces to decide the fate of South Korea. North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950 and came close to annexing it but the US intervened to prevent collapse of South Korea. China and Soviet Union provided full support to North Korea and there were back-and-forth in clashes but the US managed to restore South Korea in 1953. This is impressive outcome given the odds in the region.
There were two Vietnamese states (North Vietnam and South Vietnam). North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam in 1965 but the US intervened to prevent fall of South Vietnam. Vietnamese terrain does not provide much room for mechanized operations and technology of the day was less effective in the region as well. The US developed new tools to cripple Vietcong but Nixon decided to abandon South Vietnam due to political crisis in the US and this decision was conveyed to North Vietnam. POLITICAL DECISION. The US withdrew its forces from South Vietnam in 1972 and North Vietnam was able to recover and annex South Vietnam in 1975. This was still a terrible war in which millions of Vietnamese lost their lives and there was much ecological destruction in the region as well. Nevertheless, the US and Vietnam are on good terms in the present.
The US invaded Afghanistan to bring perpetrators of 9/11 to justice and dismantle Al-Qaeda Network in the region. This objective is met and Taliban agreed to not support Al-Qaeda Network in Doha Accords in 2020. Taliban was the dominant political force of the region and its support did not diminish when the US created a new Afghan political setup. The US did not see further reason to reshape political landscape of Afghanistan after Doha Accords. POLITICAL DECISION.
The US have fought bigger wars in other regions such as in Europe and in the Pacific and US-led forces managed to reshape political landscape of true regional powers such as Germany and Italy in Europe, Japan in the Pacific, and Iraq in the Middle East.
So the US is lacking in kinetic options and capacity to fight a war and have a decisive outcome when necessary? Wake up please.
The US was reluctant to attack Houthi in a big way because Houthi do not support Al-Qaeda Network in Yemen. However, Houthi anti-shipping campaign did not sit well with Trump. Trump has told American military to kill Houthi leaders and engineers if necessary. This is why there are strikes on different buildings in different sectors of the country. Information is limited in the present but details will come out in time.
Good to see you in pink for your trolling but my post is for general knowledge of all readers here.

The question is, whether the US air strikes can bring the Houthis on its knees and into submission, the way Hezbollah backed down from the Israel arena.
From the looks of it, the Houthis are still a major problem for the US/Israel/Egypt in the Red Sea, disrupting the shipping lines there; as well as launching ballistic missiles into Israel; giving the US/Israel major headaches.
Even if the Israel defense systems intercept them, just hearing the sirens all over Israel is causing a lot of problems for Israeli citizens.
There have been strategic miscalculations by Iran and the axis of resistance, especially Hezbollah. Hezbollah has been given a blow now that Assad has been replaced by HTS.
However, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that Hezbollah is currently taking the back seat in Lebanon's political landscape right now. Besides Israel killing their top leadership (which has been replaced by new commanders), there is little to suggest that Israel has severely depleted Hezbollah or its arsenal.
I predict that if Israel strikes Lebanon more, and keeps killing more Lebanese; and the Lebanese Army does not protect the country; Hezbollah will come back into the arena again.

Fair points. Although, I doubt Hezbollah is in the position to do much in its current situation as many in Lebanon are fed up with war.
The US had been reluctant to attack Houthi in a big way because Houthi do not support Al-Qaeda Network in Yemen. This is true, there was a large Al-Qaeda Network in Yemen and many of its members were identified and killed in recent years.
Houthi are innovative, mentally strong, and a powerful force in Yemen. This is the axis of resistance component that has withstood all challenges in recent years. Truly incredible.
However, the US is a vastly superior force in comparison to any regional power in the Middle East. Trump has told American military planners to assassinate Houthi leadership and engineers if necessary. This is why the US has struck different buildings in different sectors of Yemen in the ongoing campaign. However, there is still ambiguity in this mission. The US wants to consider regime change (large-scale operation) or compel Houthi to stop its anti-shipping activity (limited-scale operation)? Unclear.
There is news of another CSG moving towards Red Sea. This suggests a military buildup in the region to conduct a large-scale operation if necessary.
As pointed out in post # 2180, the US does not aim to reshape political landscape of every country or have a decisive outcome in every regional conflict situation. The US can have limited objectives and it is usually an opportunity to test new tools of war in real-time.
WE don't know what kind of intervention is this one. Let's see.

What is the Southern muslim army?
There is a hadith that says that a large muslim army from the south will march to Syria to fight against the Mahdi, but the earth will swallow them (like in Lord of the Rings).
Which country from the South will send this army to fight the Mahdi?
Clearny not the Houthis.

I love Anglo-American Zionist narratives in a world where they no longer have any power...the internet has helped break them down.Naysayers don't pay attention to political considerations and realities and unwisely underestimate kinetic options of a superpower.

Everyone knows that 9/11 and similar events were false flag operations to justify the extermination of the Islamic people and thus invade places rich in oil, gas, etc(And they even created the hoax of "Iraq's weapons of mass destruction" that never existed.. Alqaeda/isis are proxies of CIA AND MOSSAD, today they are called "HTS" and are in the government of Syria, helping Israel to advance into Syrian territory without any type of military resistance.
About the Houthis: the US has already killed all the Houthi leaders in 2004, this is the third generation, and every year it gets stronger. If these die, others will follow... The US's objective in these bombings is to obey the orders of the Zionist elite that rules Trump, but they are unable to stop the blockade at sea, nor prevent missiles from falling on the Zionist entity.

"Large quantities of ballistic missiles" .. Iran reveals a "rocket city" and warns its "enemies"
US Defense Minister: Trump adopts the method of achieving peace through force
Will the United States dive into a new war in the Middle East?
Or is it only a threat
Four additional B-2a stealth bombers were deployed at the Diego Garcia base, bringing the number to seven, representing a third of the American B-2 fleet. This comes after the deployed three bombers on March 24, 2025, coinciding with Israeli threats that this year the political Islam will be removed in both its branches Sunni, and Shiite, and next year to overthrow the Iranian regime.
