If I owned a shipping company I'd start taking the longer Cape of Good Hope route.

The Houthis are the fledgling Ottoman Empire blocking access to the Silk Road.

Yep, once again it is hostile Muslims blocking an important trade route. Can we end the ship attacks? Of course. Will the Navy (and other navies involved) be allowed to? We’ll have to see. The fact that the Houthis (never heard of Yemenis being a military power) have ballistic missiles that can hit a moving ship is a troubling thought. And cheap drones being shot down with missiles costing millions doesn’t bode well either.
