They can disrupt a massive amount of shipping with little effort and even limited success.

Here we have a ‘rebel group’ effectively closing a major choke point in world shipping with some weapons a very wealthy hobbyist could deploy. The fact that they would even dare to target a U.S. Navy warship shows how far we have fallen in the eyes of much of the world.

We are a muscle bound blowhard being bled to death by a thousand small cuts. There really doesn’t seem to be anything we can accomplish short of resorting to nuclear weapons.

Well, the real threat is the longer range missiles, and those you’d have to be a QUITE wealthy “hobbyist’ to fire off many of. USN has been pretty effective (if at high $$ cost) knocking down the drones.

As for the “daring”, well, hey, they are a semi-starving death & martyrdom cult. And we are “led” by Biden. Still, they need the arms from Iran: This crap wouldn’t go on for long under Trump...

If the US military cannot eliminate the Houthis how pray tell will we defend a Chinese blockade or invasion of Taiwan?

This should be a major wake up call.
