Politicians get rich. The people get killed. The forum bots cheer and cheer and cheer. As the world turns.
US navy has failed badly
😢 no longer superpower
Only regional power
Its not "world Economy" Its the economy of the "golden billion".
Legal latins vote Trump!
Cnbc propaganda.
China’s military is not a challenge to the U.S. especially their Naval capabilities.
Israel is a worst country who is sucking our blodd
Blame all problems on ezreel and netanyahoo. They are the root cause of all problems in the middle east.
Yes Russia and china are ready
Fake news
Ukraine was an idiotic move by the US causing all kinds of trouble that puts us in existential jeopardy.
When are the laser based systems coming, if ever?
It is the future of warfare.
With Biden as commander and chief. No army on the planet wants such a fool as commander
Altijd de schuld van een ander. Maar ze hebben het zelf gecreëerd!!!
Yeah nah
China profits from the shipping as well, so they need to tell their terrorist allies to stop
the real title of the video should be "Is the US navy willing to shoot thousands of dollars out of the sky with millions of dollars in defense of an genocide.. freighting in the red sea hasnot been effected, its only israeli shipping that has been blockaded, there are freight racking websites to see that traffic has not been effected.
US the terrorist
All the billions we've spent on carriers, tanks and war machines have become money wasted almost overnight. Let's see how long before Raytheon, Lockheed and the rest of the Beltway Bandits stop milking us for every conceivable tax dollar on last century's weapons while 15 million American kids go hungry. Bet it's going to be a while before the cash cow dies.
We need a leader like FDR, allowing the US military to do their job without politics interferring. Politics is the Achilles Heel of the US military.

United terror¡st of America couldn't even beat the Taliban on donkeys and rags😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope we lose.
War on the global economy? 😂😂😂😂 It's resistance against genocide.
China has been the enemy of US for 75 years. I am curious when it can become an ally of US?
A 2,000 dollar drone is dragging down a fleet, costing as much as 10 million dollars a day.
The problem is that the US military budget is the smallest it has ever been when you see the percentages. US military budget as a percentage is the smallest it has ever been since the end of the cold war. Add in the inssues with contractors or lack off, price gauging, inflation, and real infrastructure problem and it is quite evident that the US military with the current funds cannot guard US interest or be at every conflict that requires the US. Simply put, we are spread to thin and global threats keeps growing. The US government needs to increase the budget as much as it pains us if we want to protect ourselves.
Need a cheaper intercept system $1 million intercept missiles vs $25K drones
Sometimes 2 intercept missiles have to be launched per drone
I asked this question.
"Is America's Navy as powerful as the next 11 countries combined"
"According to 2023 rankings by Global Firepower, which assesses military power based on various factors, the answer is no. The US Navy's power surpasses the combined naval power of the next 11 largest countries."
So America is about as powerful as the next 12 or 13 navies combined.
And let's not forget that America has like 11 carriers, and there are 75 countries in the world whose Air Force is outclassed by just one carrier.
And you really asked a question as stupid as that?
That is bad question. If the Navy is not ready, why does US have it? It is always ready for war because it is a branch of the US military.
They do it but blame someone
Wondering why no-one is talking about india !! hello west 🇺🇲 🦅 wake up !! India under its current regime is another Authoritarian regime in the making .
Y'all 😂are too focused on China 🇨🇳 and Xi and CCP . While the country the next door India 🇮🇳 under the current ruling party BJP is playing around with the same tactics .
As a sailor who has combatted in the red sea… They are not at the same level. Not even close. Once the military is allowed to be the military, the houthi will be crushed. We crushed isis when the government allowed us to actually do our jobs. The fact that the idiots in the government allow them them to gain confidence is ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY. but what can you expect from the people who are in Congress.
The absolute waste of money by our government is actually criminal. People don’t realize just how much money goes into our military and we can’t even defeat these guys? Something isn’t right with this picture. These guys should be absolutely no problem. What is going on?!
I’m from Yemen, don’t worry folks this just a game for news by both sides 😅
Each want to show their people that they’re 💪
No one has been hurt and targets in empty water by Huthies and empty land by US.
I think we’ll be ok.. remove these goofball terror groups from the region
Don’t worry, with Joe as the commander and chief, what could go wrong?
Why is the US by new Destroyers what we need is smaller it has been proven with Ukraine. Drones are the future
Drones are the future of warfare in this day of age. Small, cheap and deadly.
how about concentrate on the thousands of homeless on the streets of LA, New York and other big cities of the US + the dwindling middle class rather than play cow boy and try and police the world
After a month the answer is pretty obvious.
Houthi sounds like something you would cough up and spit out.,
You can thank Clinton, Bush, and Obama for this. Trump was actually modernizing the US Navy. And that was against the three before, and the illegitimate third Obama term after. We need lasers, magnetic rail guns, drones, and cheap missile platforms. The US Military Industrial Complex needs to modernize, get cheaper, or get replaced.
The United States is not merely safeguarding the Red Sea from assaults by the Houthis; rather, it is protecting its economic interests in response to the targeted economic sanctions enacted by the Houthis' specialized forces. These measures aim to disrupt the maritime activities of the nation, which, as determined by the International Court of Justice, is engaged in acts constituting genocide. Not only is the United States complicit in these actions, but it is also a contributing factor. It is imperative to remain vigilant against misinformation, regardless of the challenges it may pose.
This is all bc news, the US Navy is very dangerous and can easily defend itself against any enemy. The real question is, will they tell you exactly how they intend on doing so? My money is on, no they will not!😂smh!🤦🏿♂️
these people are fighting for palestine free palestine haza! Yemenis are people with a great fighting spirit it's part of their culture no power even going back to the romen empire times have always been able to push out any power that tried to concore them. going to war with them is a bad idea as someone who loves studying military and history for curiousity I can tell you with asymmetic warfare that kind of warfare is useful and very effective for any kind of power that's a technologically supirior. Adatability and doctrine and stratgy can be just as deadly as technology.
