LOL, I like that they don't even pretend to target some sort military object... Also, it's heartening to see that at least we and Houthis have one common enemy - the berets.

*Israel not to scale
Who in their right mind would volunteer to be the 2 evil juice? Do the crowd even understand it’s not real?

Another US strike overnight in Yemen, this morning the youtube is filled with malcontents and non serving military "know it all's" going as far as saying the Houti's will destroy the entire US Navy in the Red Sea. Now this was a EU person talking this nonsense. Personally I think the key would be to shut down Iran and shut it down hard. If they screw around and allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon there will be no choice, it is the most evil of all the viper pits and of course it is not all Iranians, normal Iranians are being held hostage so a group of old bearded morons living 3000 years in the past can cause death and destruction all over the world while they all sit around and sip tea and giggle.
There was a time when the US would have already destroyed that regime and it should have been the day their Ayatollah left France to take over the Country of Iran after his followers gained power. His aircraft should have exploded midair due to massive engine failure. The world has never been the same and of course this was on carter's watch another bleeding heart liberal. Today it is dog and pony show II, I feel sure those responsible for the loss of Iran are giving advice to that half wit in the oval office. It only surfaces when democrats are in power.

How efficient could these strikes have been though?
They have been broadcasted in advance for several days, and the Houthis are pretty much used to conducting operations involving shoot-&-scooting, along with dealing with attrition.
Sure, it makes for nice sat-pictures of big holes in the desert, but it didn't stop them from attacking ships right away once the strikes stopped.

But what is the alternative? Do nothing at all?

Well, yes, doing something is obviously the way to go.
But there is a difference between doing something meaningful, and doing something for the sake of doing something.
The past years have been full of such instances where "things have been done because something had to be done", without any real consideration for the actual outcome. If it does not solve the issue, or, at least, heads in a direction that would ultimately lead to the issue being solved, the "something" that is done is as worth as flapping one's arms in the rain.
It looks good for PR purposes, but that's pretty much it.
One could argue the time it took for the US and UK to carry strikes, in addition to the pretty anemic "coalition", the lack of actions for a long period of time despite the repeated attacks, and the fact said attacks resumed immediately after the strikes comforted the Houthis and their allies in their views that they were relatively safe to do whatever they want.
They can keep on targeting civilian ships, board them, etc... and ultimately inflicting financial hurt upon the West; all that for a few bombs dropped on them. Gamble wise, it is worth it in the Houthis pov.

Well, certainly Houti capacities have not been annihilated, but that was not the point IMO. If you take out their detection capacities (radars were destroyed, airfields were bombed) and the heavy antishipping stuff like missiles, all that's left are speedboats with AK47 armed guys. Much easier to do away with, a few frigates with some choppers would do most of the job. A sustainable and lasting deployment, IMO.

It appears that the Iranian frigate in the area was running the whole show, but was not targeted.

Not surprised, it was always there to do just that. I think it was said that ship is 57 years old, so not much of a real threat and a lot of people are listening to it's communication broadcast.

It is a difficult position to be in. Saudi Arabia no longer wants anything to do with it after their hapless "coalition" failed due to Iran arming and supporting the Houthis, and the determination of the Houthis themselves. Other nations whose life blood is oil from the region will not take a hand even though they have the capacity to do so. Russia benefits from this, and the Chinese, while loathing the Houthis, will never join in openly siding with U.S. interests.
The Houthis brag that their cheap drones are just as good as an F-15 which is not exactly true, but close enough in a conflict like this. The West should use their considerable lead in technology to develop, produce and deploy drones in such numbers that it will be difficult to stroke a goat let alone deploy missiles and drones in Houthiville.
Unlike F-35s, Tomahawks, Hellfires etc the production facilities can be relatively easier to build and operate. If this makes too much sense, then it will never get done.
The other thing that needs to be addressed is Iran, but the only way they will be dealt with is if the U.S. chooses to do it, and the poor choices in Afghanistan and Iraq make that a faint proposition.

Because it would be against the law if random people attacked them. Regarding football hooligans, they are not as widespread as they used to be in the 80s.
Presently, people care about their DBS and if you lose your security clearance by attacking someone, you won't be able to get a job that requires a clean criminal record. Your university degree would become useless.
The UK is not Israel where you can spit on a Catholic nun's face or kill a random Palestinian and nothing happens to you or you get a joke sentence. I don't support Palestinians or Hamas, but there's apartheid in your country.
