The Houthis were pushing the idea being paid protection money a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t heard of any ships or insurers buying the idea. Rather, they’re just sailing around Africa. Does the USN have to register? This type protection racket was tried on the British in 1970.

And Austin and Biden are digging in their pockets for quarters instead of knocking down the toll booth.

The West lost the Battle of the Red Sea to a country without a navy.

It is very difficult to take out these clowns who are launching from mobile missile launchers on rocky barrens. Iranian Revolutionary Guard are in Yemen, working with these Houthi idiots of allah.

Houthi only get paid when they play court jesters to make Iranian mullahs laugh.

The USA requires foreign vessels working in energy to be manned by American citizens/resident aliens while in US waters. Requiring a transit permit seems pretty mild in comparison.

The country that has a vital interest in stopping the Houthis is Egypt, and they have so far been silent. Until someone stops the Houthis the Suez canal is almost useless.

Most here think the world is ours.

I would like if we concentrated on fixing our country.

La Petomaine

I am both proud and ashamed to know exactly your reference. We even have a small and charmingly humorous book about his thunderous talents. :)
