The US Navy getting owned by a force that doesn’t have a fucking Navy is extremely funny.
US Navy impotently flailing against Ansarallah. Russian Navy getting owned by drone boats. Chinese hypersonic anti ship missiles. Are navies obsolete?
“We only have to get it wrong once,” he said. “The Houthis just have to get one through.”
Lol @ these people whining about how hard it is to fight Ansar Allah imagine if they had to face the PLN
And they’ve been bombing and starving Yemen already for years.
Imagine if they just fought Yemen at full capacity. Haha
US Empire is dying.
How is this not c/nottheonion he asked rhetorically.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
ABOARD THE USS LABOON IN THE RED SEA (AP) — The U.S. Navy prepared for decades to potentially fight the Soviet Union, then later Russia and China, on the world’s waterways.
The combat pits the Navy’s mission to keep international waterways open against a group whose former arsenal of assault rifles and pickup trucks has grown into a seemingly inexhaustible supply of drones, missiles and other weaponry.
Nearly every day — aside from a slowdown during the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan — the Houthis launch missiles, drones or some other type of attack in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the narrow Bab el-Mandeb Strait that connects the waterways and separates Africa from the Arabian Peninsula.
In 1987, an Iraqi fighter jet fired missiles that struck the USS Stark, a frigate on patrol in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war, killing 37 sailors and nearly sinking the vessel.
That commercial ship was abandoned on Friday and left adrift and unlit in the Red Sea, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.
The U.S.-led campaign has carried out numerous airstrikes targeting Houthi positions inside Yemen, including what the U.S. military describes as radar stations, launch sites, arsenals and other locations.
