I'm okay with responding, but I'm worried that the US is getting increasingly entangled. They can't police the straight indefinitely, and the last thing we need is another war in the Middle East.

I mean - the entire point of having a Navy with global reach is to ensure maritime security for international commerce, at minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, 100%. I’m more concerned that they won’t be able to stop these attacks and control the straight without putting boots on ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we did there wasn't the proper use, but here I could at least understand it. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The no fly zone would probably stop air strikes but I don’t think it would be very effective against what the Houthis are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to go after their ability to target vessels - supposedly a big part of that is that Iranian ship in the Red Sea, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that.

Not sure of it would stop the attacks. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
