Why US-Led Strikes On Yemen, Powerful Western Navies Have Failed To Stop Houthi Attacks In Red Sea

More than six months after the Houthi insurgent group in Yemen started disrupting maritime traffic in the Red Sea, global shipping has had to come to terms with a new normal. Delays, derangements, and higher costs are only getting worse. That is despite the efforts of the US, British, and European navies that have been on station the whole time attempting to counter the Houthi threat. But without much success. That the world’s premier navies appear to be struggling to subdue a band of insurgents raises painful questions. What is the utility of sea power and what is the proficiency of the Western navies?

[@gelinrefira]

It is also a treaty obligation. The Geneva Convention says that all nations must not conduct or aid in a g-cide, but there is also another condition. All nations must also try in their power to STOP a g-cide and that's exactly what Ansar Allah in Yemen is doing: trying to stop a g-cide. This is also why the west refuses to admit that what is happening in Gaza is a g-cide because that will force a legal obligation on them to stop it, when they are also the accomplices.
