Macron says that "France lost €6 billion due to the mood swings of a 79-year-old man."
Well technically, Yemen under Saleh, (who the houthis took power after he died) had Scud missiles, so the houthis inherited some ballistic missiles when the took over the Yemeni govt,and yes, iran helped the houthis at a strategic level(more on this below)How do you think Yemen started to produce missiles and drones? Do you think they did that on their own?
I can agree with this.The Houthis of Yemen were a group of rebels fighting with AK47s against the Saudi-backed Yemeni government. Iran armed them and helped them capture Sana'a and form a government. For years, Iran was violating UNSC resolutions to arm the Houthis of Yemen.
Iran made a strategic-level and good investment in the houthis,and those investments have paid off for iran, if you accept ehat role the houthis play in the AoR- the houthis are a only close partner of the Axis of Resistance(AoR), not a direct or full member of it, and that's why it didnt have to enter serious military action along with other AoR members during the 40 days of clashes between Iran, israel and US. Neither US nor israeli jets are flying over the houthis' territory today, but they were (and are) doing so against majority/all AoR locations in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon.In other words, if they are not willing to do something for us when we need it, they're a bad investment.
Interesting discussion between Katty and Anthony. I don't know who Anthony is but seems like a warhawk with good connections in the Pentagon while Katty also has connections in the CENTCOM. Anthony saying there are those in the Pentagon who want to go all in to do a regime change in Iran and that would require 500,000 US troops. He is also saying Pentagon's hawks are thinking of unloading the entire American stock of bunker busters to destroy all military targets including any place where are fissile material stored. Katty saying CENTCOM has all the targets programmed but they will not target bridges etc as that would be a war crime.
It is a scary video if there indeed are such people in the Pentagon. There is also a good bit of discussion about US-China relations with the upcoming Trump meeting with China's Xi.
Them 1100 plus international cargo ships oil tankers trapped in the PG……..surely dozens of them belong to the US. Why isn’t the IRGC impounding them?you're right, that is the perfect response to the naval blockade.
Stay on the ball buddy……..dont drift like this.Iran armed houthis, so they can fight against GCC (Iran's other enemies). Houthis already served that purpose for years. Also Iran didn't come itself to their aid. Jumping into war is a whole different ball game then assisting with weapons. In return, Iran is expecting them to put their life on line and jump directly into its war which has nothing to do with houthis. Anyways, they already fired missiles at Israel and most likely are keeping its stock for later use.
Houthis were the only ones who stood for Gaza. They were viciously attacking shipping lines during genocide putting pressure that calm in red sea is via calm in Gaza. No other country including Iran did anything. Every country is selfish but Houthis are most selfless people. They can put their lives and their children lives in line for the cause they seem as just. Its their choice and its their timing whenever they'd do the next move.
Ye sahb titanium ulla hain…….ashamed to post under his old nick.Dominant nations typically avoid direct conflict unless compelled by necessity, instead relying on smaller states and non-state actors. For instance, Pakistan has engaged in such actions in Afghanistan and Kashmir; therefore, it is disingenuous to suggest that Iran should not have taken similar measures. The United States has carried out similar activities.
Anything special it has which others like Lincoln and Ford weren't able to do?CVN-77 arrives at AO Saturday so nothing will likely happen this week.
War is expensive. If this war turns into a war of attrition then the US economy will land on a hard rock. That’s not sustainable. Trump knows it. But as psycho unlikely he will change his course.The American word means "shit", and everyone knows it, including Iranians. Any agreement would have to have enforcement mechanisms that the USA fulfils their part of the bargain, etc.
Even if the US dont need foreign oil, the US toady out there sure do.Then why did US start wars in iraq, iran, Venezuela,Syria, and Libya to control their oil and oil shipments( to rivals aka China)?
This your post is 100% based on fantasy not reality.
Means more naval air assets that can be used to strike and enforce blockade including more destroyers to also enforce the blockade.Anything special it has which others like Lincoln and Ford weren't able to do?
