Houthi Movement & Yemen Conflict

And then Tom Cruise will jump his motorcycle off the skyscraper right before it blows up! Everyone clapped!!!
That's why this is curious to watch. Will the west still manage to do the one thing they do well, which is blowing up ay-rabs, or will they shit their collective pants, forcing the world to rely on other players such as Russia or China to keep shipping lanes safe? Normally I'd be in the "west shitting pants" category but there's enough gulf arab money tied up here to make it their problem, and they're not going to let the west sneak away like in Afghanistan.

How is Russia going to protect red sea shipping? They can't even protect their own ships from drone and missile strikes
Where are the ships to do this going to come from? Most of Russia's Navy isn't made with this kind of foreign adventurism in mind.
If you'd said China I'd be less incredulous. They're the only other nation on earth able to take up the job.

Russia is able to influence Iran to get them to knock it off and stop being niggers. If Russia wants to, of course.

That's quite a dubious claim. Iran and Russia have shared interests in certain fields but not all of them. Iran has nothing to gain from stopping the attacks unless Russia is willing to offer up something big in exchange. What that thing might be I'm sure I don't know.
 
Who's in power again?
In the Red Sea? Not the United States lol
Cheap doesn't mean 'infinite' silly girl.
Correct.
Ukraine has drones
Correct again.
but you don't see them just flinging them at every single target of opportunity inside Russia,
Wrong.

because most of them are being used on the fight in Ukraine.
Wrong again.
Anyway the best path forward for the US I still say would be to cut losses and transfer to an east-to-west arctic trade-route. If oil still needs to go through the Suez it can be protected more practically and cost-effectively without a heavy US presence in the red sea. Perhaps you could turn Djibouti into a major oil port that pipes oil to Egypt to minimize risk.
Wrong, lmao

You should enroll in a community college class and learn the basics of geography.

Did I say there were no strikes in Russia from Ukraine? Pretty sure that's not at all what I said. So now you're just putting words in my mouth to create owns that don't exist.

Im also aware of where Djibouti is. I said 'minimized risk' not zero risk. Again, in your haste to get that own you forgot to read.
Everything in your post was ass-backwards; "turn Djibouti into a major oil port that pipes oil to Egypt" is probably the most hilarious.

All that just to avoid a ceasefire in Gaza lol

Russian and Chinese ships aren't being stopped or threatened in any way! Yemen has no beef with them.

So here's a realistic scenario: US "coalition" (i.e. the US) does a large-scale attack on Yemen. Yemen retaliates, sinking a ship. US escalates. Iran joins and says fuck it we'll attack Israel with Hezbollah at the same time. Israel in their weakened state launches a nuke on Iran. The end.

Except the end is never the end.

That's nice. Why don't you go put down some more mean stickers sweetie it might make you feel better.

Let's ignore all geography of the region and somehow accept pipeline such as that was possible.
You know jack shit about relations between the nations that the pipeline would run through.

It's not about Russian and Chinese ships being stopped, it's about other nations having a guarantee of security from Russia or China that their ships won't get stopped. It would be a big "fuck you" to the west if Russia or China can start providing that security.

And the last thing Iran wants right now is more escalations, they have very limited ability to maintain control within their own country as it is.

Most likely scenario as far as I see it is: Yemen tries to retaliate, possibly sinks a US ship, Iran immediately distances themselves from Yemen offering only thoughts and prayers as support, meanwhile UK and US forces bomb the Houthis into dust and proclaim victory, finally managing to score a rare W against a bunch of dress-wearing inbred goat-fuckers.

Its either invade, find a workaround for the problem at hand, or give up and deal with the downstream effects as they come. Ultimately none of these choices are ideal.
But now I'm curious what your idea for a workaround would be if you had to come up with one.

Fictional what if scenarios aside, this conflict sure has an interesting aesthetic. Suit jackets and dresses mesh rather organically in the hands of the Houthis. Note traditional curved Jambiya knife, useful for suicides and circumcisions.
