Yes, I know you addressed the flow of shipping and not the accuracy of missile and drone attacks. I think we're seeing that now: Suspected Houthi drone strike in Red Sea damages China-bound ship A Liberia-flagged container ship was damaged in an aerial drone strike allegedly carried out by the Houthis in the Red Sea, in the latest attack by the Yemini group targeting the vital maritime corridor. The attack on the China-bound vessel took place off the coast of Hodeida city around dawn on Sunday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre, led by the British navy, said. It said the ship sustained damage but the mariners on board "were reported safe". https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/houthi-attack-china-ship-red-sea-israel-gaza-war-b2567330.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted Sunday at 10:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:38 PM The Houthis, who received support from left wing protesters around the world (“Yaman make us proud, turn another ship around”) performing a Nazi salute. It’s not even a horseshoe, the extreme of each side of the political spectrum are at the same exact point: Jew hate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question used to be will the US-UK effort restore Red Sea shipping. And we know the big answer. The new big question is a lot smaller than the old one.
