Yep
We all know what happened to the boy who cried jihad too many times...
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, et al. doesn't want any part of it. Iran will have to look to Russia, NK and China for help. The Abraham Accord was progressing nicely until the last election happened.

The whole Battle Group assigned to the Carrier are wired up. The DDG Laboon was targeted directly by the Houthis. Biden should not give them a pass on this one but don't hold your breath. Are they waiting for a direct hit, which though unlikely, is a statistical possibility. And that phony Ret.Adm. John Kirby just keeps on defending these incompetent people.

He is following orders by saying only what he is told to say.
Since 1945 we have only allowed our military to engage in with "polite restraint". We have consumed a unbelievable amount of resources, but only in ineffective methods.
The lesson we SHOULD have learned is "You can not have polite little wars with lots of engagement rules and win".
The politicians have not learned that lesson
The lesson that they have learned is. "If you use up lots of resources, its good for your pocket if you invest heavily in the military supply industry".

UH…since 1945 our " wars" have been BIG $$$$ makers for certain people. By chance anyone remembers the Vinel Corp and Pacific Architects and Engineers in Vietnam guess who owned a majority of stock in them??????.
OP
I'd hazard a guess that Putin's been wishing he had opted for limited warfare for a couple of years now.
I bet he wishes he had limited his warfare to ZERO. Go big or stay home. But, he has managed to lower his unemployment and prison population as well as find out who really had his back and who couldn't fly.

houtis hit a US registered cargo boat with some missile but minor damage, boat changed course. The missile they fried at one of our DDs was shot down by one of our fighetrs.
OP
If it wasn't a suspect vessel, why would the Navy do VBSS ops against it?

I had read that Spetznaz troops were often recruited out of prisons from the population of inmates who were particularly psychopathic. Nonetheless, I have to give Putin credit for killing two birds with one stone by using criminals as cannon fodder.I bet he wishes he had limited his warfare to ZERO. Go big or stay home. But, he has managed to lower his unemployment and prison population as well as find out who really had his back and who couldn't fly.
Funny, the Japanese said similar things about the USMC in WWII.

We need to make a parking lot out of Iran. They aren't as strong as they think they are. Smoke them and the real Iranians will take over and there will be peace in the middle east.
OP
There will never be peace in the Middle East. No need to try.
That is always going to be true when deception, hatred and tribal mentality are your core values.
Re bombing the **** outta the Houthis, I'm worried that the SOBs don't have any significant infrastructure to destroy... Though I guess to launch a guided missile you need at least a mobile platform... I think we need a realtime response, maybe something shipboard that launches immediately, backtracking the incoming missile...
Looks like no more Houthi pirates in motor boats tho. Guess that message got through.

More than one Marine can attest to hearing the judge say, "Join the service or go to jail" back in the day.

Just like in Vietnam. The VC was also a rebel force that had no installations or infrastructure of military significance to destroy.

This is new and FAR more dangerous than Arabs v Israelis.
"Iran's brazen missile attack on alleged militant group positions in neighboring Pakistan on Tuesday marked an explosive new development in growing unrest that has gripped the Middle East since the outbreak of the deadliest-ever war in Gaza and now spreading east toward an already volatile geopolitical situation in South Asia.
Expressing outrage over what it deemed to be a violation of its national territory targeting civilians, Pakistan fired back on Thursday against what it said were rebel-held sites in Iranian territory, setting the stage for potential further escalation in brewing tensions between two "brotherly" Islamic republics, one of which possesses nuclear weapons."
