A conversation with a friend earlier put me in mind of this Red Sea beach back in January of 2008. No phones, no TV. Normally a nightmare for me but I was sooooo relaxed here.

Port congestion is worsening at key gateways in northern Europe and other hubs, according to a new report that suggests trade wars could spread maritime disruptions to Asia and the U.S. and push up shipping rates. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/05/26/europe-shipping-bottlenecks-july/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #shipping #europe #eu #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #redsea #yemen #houthis #china
This past week, #Trump announced an agreement w/the Iranian-backed #Houthi militias in #Yemen to halt #US airstrikes against the militants, who agreed to cease attacks against American vessels in the #RedSea. The news from Trump, which Israeli ofcls said was a surprise to #Netanyahu, came only days after a Houthi missile struck #Israel’s main airport in #TelAviv, prompted an Israeli response.

“Ansar Allah/Oman say it has made no agreement about Israeli/Israel-bound shipping and will continue anti-genocide blockade”
The Red Sea now has the world's smallest air force.2 FA 18 Hornets...

And as we well know, Israel killed the Gaza Deal.
Israel has resumed full scale genocide in Gaza and broadly across all of Palestine.
And in response to continued genocide the Houthi's have responded in kind by firing drones and missiles directly at Israel.
Yemen lobs missiles a few times a week and specifically say its in response to the failed Gaza Deal. Stop the genocide and the missiles stop.
Why tf is the US even in Yemen right now? Why?
Yemen's Houthis upon the signing of the #GazaDeal in winter 2024 paused their attacks on civilian shipping in the Red Sea and have not resumed the blackade.
The US had literally accomplished the mission of "freeing the Red Sea" through diplomacy at long last.
And since then Yemen has largely stopped attacking ships.
Yemen reserved the right to attack Israel if the Gaza Deal failed.

Turns out the Houthi's were shooting missiles so close to striking the USS Harry Truman that it took "evasive actions" which is why a fully loaded F18 Hornet with a pilot on board AND a tug with operator were sent careening overboard.
If just dodging a cheap assed Yemen drone costs us $60Million and all we have to show for it is 68 dead African migrants it's clear the US are the bad guys and are loosing.

Wondering if Europe will really miss having these clowns as allies?
Big, expensive aircraft carriers which are prone to drones, that reputation for 'friendly fire'....
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered additional forces to the Middle East, including the Carl Vinson carrier strike group and aircraft, as tensions with Tehran are increasing over its nuclear program. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/02/world/pentagon-aircraft-carrier-iran-tensions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #defense #petehegseth #us #middleeast #iran #houthis #yemen #redsea #irannuclearprogram #donaldtrump
U.S. B-2 Bombers from Diego Garcia Bomb Houthi Base: Rehearsal for Iran Attack?
The White House has said that U.S. strikes in Yemen in March killed the top Houthi missile expert, but the U.S. military has so far declined to confirm the death, and the individual's identity remains unclear. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/01/world/politics/us-houthi-missile-expert/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #houthis #yemen #redsea #middleeast
