As i understand, all the UK/US/israeli cargo ships could take the longer route, but it would cost them 1 M USD extra per ship per trip, so basically US Navy is spending money, resources and lives (atleast those two SEALs) just to protect the profits of billionaire shipowners.
That story about SEALs being swept away from sailboat deck and drowning does not make much sense either, has to be most botched up mission ever if they had no immediate rescue planned. Would the entire team have died if the sailboat had sunk ? Almost like some made-up story to cover them dying while doing something else or having been struck by Houthi munitions...
Also extremely stupid for the UAE and israelis to construct military infrastructure in UNESCO World Heritage Site, that place is simply amazing (Socotra Island Archipelago) Why would they want to ruin that place, madness.
Last week i spotted an article about the incident where the SEALs drowned, ; there had been an investigation and results were published - failure of training and leadership.
I have too many bookmarks, maybe the AI will help me find the correct ones in the future (joking) , because back then i could not find this article and now i cannot find that investigation results article :D but i'll try to summarize.
1. The SEALs had not received training for their flotation device and could not properly utilize them ???
I was like wait what - i'm no pro sailor but a weekend boater at best but have a flotation device that floats me comfortably if i fall in the water and if i'm in distress i can pull the string that activates the auto-fill or whatever it is called so it floats me all the way without doing anything...
How damn hard can it be to use their device, maybe they have too hard to use devices.
2. They were carrying heavy weapons and heavy gear while assaulting and they did not manage to release them after swept into the sea ???
Again WTF , why in the first place you need heavy weps and gear if you assault some small boat, doesn't make sense. Its not like the opposing force has a tank on board. And why strap the heavy stuff so that it can not be released quickly, even a weekend boater like me knows that never ever strap any gear to yourself that you can not release quiclky if you are on deck with heavy seas.
Maybe the SEAL training and command has plummeted to new lows after they sacked Brad Geary because he wasn't woke enough
The Houthis seem to recognize that keeping the Tel Aviv airport closed puts pressure on Israel. Not only does it embarrass the government that it can't defend itself, it hurts the economy.
Just stepping back a little, where did the Iranians get all the money they’ve been spending to arm their proxies like the Houthis? Answer: The planeloads-o-cash given to them by the Obama and Biden Administrations. Those acts were either stupid or evil. Given all the other evil acts those administrations committed, my vote is evil. They gave Iran all that money knowing Iran would create chaos so Obama/Biden could justify continuing feeding the military-industrial beast.
Not only precious little, but the conflict has been almost completely ignored by Western media. Another ship hit today. How many sunken ships does it take?
At this point another missile on the airport accomplishes nothing and contrarily signals Houthi weakness. Why aren’t the Houthis hitting Israel’s three shipping ports of Haifa, Eilat, and Atlit, bank HQs, and government and military centers? And why haven’t the Houthis sunk any of Israel’s 58 merchant ships?
I expect a longer post next time.
This is amazing, I found your post referenced by Michael West Media. Does anyone know where I can find information on CTF-23's role in all of this?

Thanks so much for the feedback. I had forgotten about the SEALS & will include it in the overall piece, it’s important! How quickly Americans forget.

" where did the Iranians get all the money they’ve been spending to arm their proxies like the Houthis"
Oil and gas to name just two resources.
" The planeloads-o-cash given to them by the Obama and Biden Administrations."
Laughable bullshit.
What have we accomplished, and at what cost? Your stack suggests the answer at least to the first question- precious little it seems.
Not only precious little, but the conflict has been almost completely ignored by Western media. Another ship hit today. How many sunken ships does it take?

Something important is not being reported.
