This pure speculation on my part. Having watched the situation in Yemen and the MENA district (Middle East North Africa) in a passing way and not entirely serious way...I think soon the US will take kinetic action against the Houthi’s. American Hegemony is never more threatened than when Commerce is stopped. The Houthi’s are essentially sanctioning the US and Europe. This will not be tolerated.
It may be that either our proxies in the area KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) or Israel who may initiate at first action or we may do it ourselves.

“In recent weeks, the Houthis escalated their attacks and started targeting commercial ships in the vicinity of the Bab el-Mandeb strait in the Red Sea, which they claimed were owned by Israeli companies or were heading to Israel.
But most of the vessels that were attacked had a remote or no affiliation with Israel.
On Thursday, the Houthis conducted another attack on a ship owned by a Chinese company.
Behind the scenes: U.S. special envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking, who visited the Gulf in recent days, asked his counterparts in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar to convey warning messages to the Houthis, the officials said.”
www.politico.com/… as of two weeks ago...but things change.
“The Biden administration is not looking to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen in retaliation for the militants’ attack on commercial ships in the Red Sea. Not yet, anyway.”
www.timesofisrael.com/.…
Four major companies have announced a pause in movement near Yemen amid Houthi attacks on ships
The new statements came after a ballistic missile fired by Houthis slammed into a cargo ship, the MSC Palatium III, on Friday in the Red Sea near the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, following another attack only hours earlier that struck the Al Jasrah, setting it ablaze, authorities said.
Ready for new war for Xmas. A short diary for a Saturday night. Don’t take it too seriously, it’s the holidays with much more fun and plenty of things to do.
