  • I feel like you’re missing the point entirely.

    Bab-el-Mandeb is the southern gate of the Red Sea. Suez is the northern gate. You don’t need to own both doors to trap someone in the hallway - you just need to lock one. If the Houthis can effectively close Bab-el-Mandeb, they control whether ships can transit the Red Sea at all, which means they control the Suez route’s viability by default. That’s called chokepoint leverage, not “complete control of the whole Red Sea.”

    Nobody said they planted a flag in Suez. They don’t have to. Egypt can own the canal all day — if the southern exit is a shooting gallery, the canal is a dead end.

    So yes: technically you’re correct. Strategically, you’re arguing a distinction without a difference.
























  • not just multiple! allegedly - they say Iran destroyed 8 F-15 planes and 1 A-10 in a single strike on the ground.

    And Houthis just did a literal blietzkrieg TODAY - and took several islands, huge territory and an important port - and no news outlets covering this.

    This is complete failure of US intelligence and US navy, This is total failure of republican led military. how can you control the seas and let thta happen?

    and guess what - red sea - closed. our fleet will have to sail back around Africa now - no I kid you not (or beg Houthis to let them pass - houthis might let em but damn this is bad)
