About time.

Stirring the pot. The Houthis have been pretty quiet since the Gaza ceasefire. Which probably means that Israel is about to do something to resume the fighting.

This has been going on for far too long. The root of almost all the shenanigans in the ME is the Iranian regime, Trump has finally put them on notice that they will be held accountable for the Houthi attacks. Hopefully the USN will follow through, the Iranian Navy is providing the targeting and logistical support necessary for the Houthis to conduct these operations. I posted about the Iranian navy and missiles supporting the Houthis a year ago, nothing has changed except now Trump has unleashed the USN: link

The Houthis have been shooting at international shipping, etc. for a very long time. They are puppets of Iran's theocratic leaders. The US attacks should continue, and if need be hit targets in Iran. As they support the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. Plus they want to get a deployable Nuke. They are the last people who should be allowed to get Nukes.

And yes the best way to end this 💩 is to take out as much of these puppets' and their master's radars, ADA, missile sites, C3, etc., etc. as possible. We keep playing with these troglodytes. And they just don't seem to get it … They may when most of their assets are burning wrecks … Call me old fashioned.

Much will depend on the strike results. The Houthis are something of a moving target. Last year a we launched a massive series of strikes against them, along with British forces, using subs, surface and air, hit sixty targets and shut them down for a bit. But it is not the answer. Iran is.

Now Trump has the same problem we have had for years. Negotiate Iran out of building their nukes, but you won't get far with that if you attack Iran. Or attack them and forces terms on them. In which case there will be a whole lot of new issues to deal with. Meanwhile, here at the supermarket, eggs are rationed and other prices are going up. At least we have toilet paper.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP17 Mar 2025 9:26 p.m. PST

Yes as I have said it is still early for the new POTUS. And again, if the US wanted to make a concerted effort. They could seriously attrite much of the Houthi assets. And the same could happen in Iran.

Meanwhile, here at the supermarket, eggs are rationed and other prices are going up. At least we have toilet paper.
Frankly prices are slowly dropping. It is going to take more than a few weeks to get the US economy back on track. After the previous POTUS and Admin's less than effective handling of it that hit the middle class pretty hard.

Yes, the Houthis are saber rattling talking "smack" at the US surgical strikes. If they were not getting support from Iran. They'd be little more than goat herders with AK-47s. Both the Houthis and Iran know they have to save face. It is part of their culture and distain for "the Infidels".

I believe they both may see, "Hell's coming to breakfast" sooner than later … They won't like what "Hell" is serving.

The IDF airstrikes were part of battlefield prep most likely upcoming ground ops. As Hamas still won't give back all the hostages dead or alive. The are asking for unrealistic outcomes to end the conflict and reoccupy Gaza. They milked their crimes of taking and killing hostages, etc. Hoping they may get what they what to continue their war against the IDF, etc. They don't get the IDF and its leaders will only let this foolishness go on for so long.

The only things that surprise me is the IDF waited so long to play this ceasefire game as long as it did. Along with the fact that Hamas still thinks they can actually do anything effective to destroy the Jews.

The handwriting is on the wall … Hamas, Gaza and the Palestinians are in for some big changes. But a world of hurt.

And other reports said that those strikes in Gaza killed 400. Which I think as always is an exaggeration by Hamas, etc. sources. No matter what the real numbers. Hamas is to blame for the losses that are still happening to their own non-combatants/civilians.
But again with this being an urban insurgency as in any guerilla war, you can't tell the innocents from the insurgents … And Hamas is trying to use their civilian losses to gain sympathy from anti-Jewish types. And with the anti-Jewish riots in the US they think it is working. But again these rioters are good examples of Lenin's "useful dupes" …

I think JRS pretty much destroyed David's Houthis have been quiet hypothesis
Actually that says it all … +1 to JRS.

I think you are better off in Ohio Legion. Gas here is $3.20 USD USD a gallon, the cost of food has gone up in the last week or two…maybe because we get food from Canada – anticipating the tariffs.
Bottom line even eggs have gone down. Again the current POTUS and his Admin have a lot of "fixing" to do to get things back on track. As the last Admin did a lot of destruction to the US in all areas. E.g. with the economy, illegal aliens, etc., etc. As well as the crisis occurring worldwide.

"I think JRS pretty much destroyed David's Houthis have been quiet hypothesis"

My hypothesis was spot on. The region was quiet until the US hit Yemen, swiftly followed by the Israeli strikes on Gaza. The last Houthi attacks before the US strikes were launched in January 2025

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP19 Mar 2025 7:54 p.m. PST

My hypothesis was spot on.
Not based on all the missiles that the Houthis fired that were supplied by Iran. At international shipping, Israel and the USN. The USN has not seen some much action since WWII …

I guess Euros must be getting different news from their media than here in the Colonies of the New World …

Tortorella Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 5:54 a.m. PST

Yes, I meant to type NYS governor, thanks Bill. Upstate is another world from NYC.

Tort you asked:
"Were the houthis launching a lot of missiles before US attacks"

I knew they did in January. But I thought it had been quiet since the ceasefire. But didn't someone post a timeline that showed it had not been quiet?

🤔 Maybe they had switched to burning Teslas, charging stations and Tesla dealerships. 😉

Tortorella Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 6:10 a.m. PST

David is right. The Houthis were quiet since the truce and negotiations began. The new US attacks certainly look like they are in support of the Netanyahu offensive.

Biden launched 800 missiles against the Houthis. There is concern about the supply now, and whether the US can sustain this. Also I wish Trump would find a different tone other than WE WILL DESTROY YOU!!. The Houthis love this, will fight to the last man. We sound kind of like the people we are attacking.

Tortorella Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 6:14 a.m. PST

Well, they were quiet, but they had not been quiet for long.

The Tesla thing is so ignorant. And dangerous. Sell your Tesla, or don't buy one. Leave other people's Teslas alone.

35thOVI Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 7:07 a.m. PST

The website that exposes every Tesla owner, their address and phone number and then uses a Molotov cocktail as the cursor symbol is hideous!

Not sure more surgical missile strikes and bombings are going to solve the Houthi problem. The Saudis tried it with a range of Middle East coalition partners. The US/UK tried it. Israel tried it. All without solving the problem long term.
I am not convinced that trying a fourth time is going to have a different result.
Attacking insurgent organizations with stand off weapons is a costly, and not entirely effectual way of doing things.

35thOVI Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 8:12 a.m. PST

Martyn,

I don't totally disagree.

Ground offensive? Unlikely

I don't believe peace negotiations with Islamic extremists works either. They just regroup and then start again. We are infidels and will always be, that is their interpretation of their writings.

Stop those who support them with weapons and money? Now that could be an answer. Hello Iran 👋

I'm sure more moderate Islamic countries would like for someone to take care of the current crop of radicals.

Obviously not an easy answer, or radical Islam would not be in existence since the 600's.

Tortorella Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 10:48 a.m. PST

Unless there is a way to stop them from getting more missiles from Iran…

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2025 2:43 p.m. PST

Not sure more surgical missile strikes and bombings are going to solve the Houthi problem.
A concerted and continuing air offensive, e.g. Linebacker in SE Asia will yield results. Along with stopping Iran from supplying the missiles. Both should happen …

Also surgical strike is really the only way we do things today with all the hi-tech we have. "Surgical Strikes" are on specific target e.g. radars, ADA, launchers, C3, supply points, troop concentrations, etc. Surgical strikes are more accurate as they hit the target with much less ordinance and do more precise "killing".

Attacking insurgent organizations with stand off weapons is a costly, and not entirely effectual way of doing things.
Well it not as expensive has ground operations with the cost KIAs, WIAs, etc. … There is no way that the USA would ever attempt ground ops in Iran. As I have said before there is nothing that needs to be secured, occupied, etc. Only destroyed … in large numbers and often.
