CNN: Concern grows within US administration as Yemen continues attacks
2024-02-25
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Senior US officials revealed to CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
the difficulties the United States faces in countering repeated attacks by the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i armed forces. The US officials confirmed that the Yemeni armed forces "continue to surprise us," and they do not have a good idea of what Yemen still has in terms of military capabilities.

"The Biden administration is struggling to stop the ongoing attacks by "Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s" against ships in the Red Sea and the group is continuing to fortify its weapons stockpile inside Yemen, US officials told CNN.

Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh Acknowledged on Thursday that the US knows that Yemen maintains a large arsenal. "They are very capable, they have sophisticated weapons."

"They continue to surprise us," said one senior defense official, referring to the Yemeni Armed Forces. "We just don’t have a good idea of what they still have."

The CNN also confirmed that the use of force alone is not working. It is also extremely expensive and impractical, some officials note, to keep firing multimillion-dollar missiles at cheap drones and missiles of Yemen’s Armed Forces.

Yemenis have fervently expressed their support for Paleostine’s struggle against Israeli occupation, particularly intensified after Israel launched a devastating attack on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

#8  Don’t forget that Israel is increasing their ability to transship from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, so as long as shippers get their stuff to Saudi Arabia, it all can be trucked through the desert to the Israeli border.

#5  The Red Sea is a major transportation route between Europe and Asia. The U.S. should let them deal with it.

#3  I would suggest issuing a Flamberge. Simple and destructive. Requires only an operator.

#2  Victoria and Biden have drawn down all tools needed to sustain any conflict for any length of time. I remember months ago they ran estimates of materials as they had no idea how much they had. Getting to the bottom of the barrel. I would say it would take a year out to even resupply to minimum levels. Especially high tech items(Ukrain has shown the reliability of high tech field equipment; go EV, right!). We do not have a wartime manufacturing economy. It will take some time just to refill national oil reserve.
