Companies are rerouting around South Africa to avoid militia attacks in Yemen in one of the biggest disruptions to world trade since the Covid-19 pandemic
Yeah this isn’t gonna go on much longer without a military response, which I am guessing is the plan. Keep spreading the US and allied countries’ military attention thinner and thinner.
NATO has so many resources, it’s the entire purpose of NATO.
Saying the resources are being spread thinner is a undebatable fact but I would say not every military/country in NATO had even CLOSE to 100% of people working on Ukraine before Israel piped up.
And they can just hike their prices like everyone else is doing. So why invest time and resources into lowering them back down if it doesn’t affect them?
China is mostly self-sufficient, most of the world is not.
Operation Prosperity Guardian is already underway. Unfourtuantly, modern drone technology tilts the scales in favor of the attacker in this sort of situation relative to where it was a decade ago; and commercial shipping companies are not in the bussiness of shipping through active combat zones.
Yeah I mean more of an attack on land actually in Yemen situation or even potentially boots on the ground and not just some sort of cruise missile or air strike.
the other option is to comply with the Houthi demands that the starvation of the people of Gaza be ended and supplies be allowed in accordance with the International Laws
They also demand a grab bag of other random extremist taking points like that the Quran should be how countries are run, and that the prophets descendents have an absolute right to rule.

NATO can handle a lot more of this shit
Every major country is affected by this. India and China have as much interest in free passage through the Red See as the US or the EU.
And yet China, who has a naval base in Djibouti, seems to just be sitting back and letting everyone else tackle this

I don’t know, maybe because they are directly affected by closing a major trade route with one of their largest trading blocks.
Of course they could always sit on their hands, make rude noises and let the US carry their weight… Which is what most of the world expects nowadays.

China imports huge quantities of food and fuel. They are far from self sufficient.

Bingo. They know that someone else will do something eventually is my guess.

Navy helicopter shot down a couple of boats a few days ago, but the response will probably grow.

Thats just their general movement. Not their explicit demands for the blockade.
Because they’re so trustworthy? There’s no clear connection from ships being targeted to Israel like they claim.
