Nobody said shit about it staying at aerial bombardments. Why do you think I'm so pissed? I know people who are going to end up there.
And it's still not impacting Israel's economy. So the ships had to go around, supply is already re-established. Nobody going through the straight is going to Israel anymore because insurance won't let them. So now the Houthis decided it's the entire Western world which is just stupid. Like pissing in the wind. They're getting people killed for nothing.
And no. MacArthur is neither here nor there. He didn't come up with the concept of a DMZ or militarized zone. I fully expect it to look like Eastern Turkey with a lot of stupid shit going on because some local dickhead though he could gain an ounce more street cred by attacking the West.
But the way, they have now explicitly attacked American cargo ships for being American. If you look at American history you know we don't back down. We only ever escalate once our civilians are being shot at. And we certainly aren't going to give up on global trade just because a random warlord decided he could control international water.

Tourism flat lining isn't because of cargo ships. It's because they're fighting a war.
Come on dude. Stop trying to conflate things.
The war is why they're losing the cargo ships.
And around you go. Like a spinning top. Have a nice day. And go miss the point professionally with someone else. Anyone else.
