At what point do the Brits finally lay down the law instead of the limited strikes on the Houthi?
Iran backed Houthi attacks on shipping

The middle east is a powderkeg and the US/UK are no longer the threat they once were to stopping this kind of aggression. Turn the Israelis loose on them

Biden is not a threat to our enemies. He's an enabler for them.

Fucking military should be smart enough for assemetric warfare in the 21st century. This is why I ask if the Brits are finished playing patty cake. At this point we should be done with it and do it right. Not doing it right welcomes more of this.
If there's a will then it can be done. Effing weak assed and unqualified dress wearing trans weirdos probably making decisions at the Pentagon.

Geez. British need to get with it.

British warships lack firepower to attack Houthi land targets
Former defence chief brands Royal Navy missile limitations ‘a scandal and completely unsatisfactory'
Well, the Navy just dropped HS diploma or GED as a requirement for enlistment....sounds like maybe they already dropped requirements for brains and some balls in Pentagon leadership.
Definitely NOT the Navy I was in '68 to '74....

At this point "repel" isn't good enough. Maybe the military industrial complex prefers this.

A HS diploma is a joke these days and if you can't even qualify for a joke and these fools can't make basic decisions for their betterment then why should I feel good they'll make good decisions for the rest of our betterment.
Navy again lowers requirements as it struggles to meet recruitment goals
The US Navy is starting to enlist individuals who didn’t graduate from high school or get a GED, marking the second time in about a year that the service has opened the door to lower-performi…

I completely believe that Iran is trying to pull dumbass, I mean Joe and the Hoe, into a full blown war.
Today we went to church, the 10:00am service. I am always surprised at the dwindling amount of people at Mass. The noon service has more people, but still not like it was not that long ago.
But Islam is gaining.....the CANCER is spreading.
Please tell me I am wrong. But I don't think so.

During the 1st gulf war only US, UK, France had the sophisticated weapons. A decade back that expanded to all Nato countries, Russia, China, India, South Korea, Japan have weapon systems that once USA had. Now every miidle eastern terror factions have drones, ballistic missiles and smart weapons.
I mean just look at this a carbon copy of Israel Spike series of missiles made by Iran.
So none of the big super power are able to stop drones and smart weapons. Even Israel is forced to use Cope cages on their tanks, two years back everyone was laughing at the Russians Tanks with Cope cage. Now every western tank in Ukraine has Cope cages.
Airbases are not safe any more due to kamakazi foam planes that evade radar and their engines or electric motor do not have any heat signature. Russian front line bases in Ukraine have jammers that block multiple frequencies.
We are already seeing dronws that use INS navigations and use terrain following and image matching for the final decent. So jammers are useless. As computing power becomes cheap AI drones cannot be defeated.

I would not want to be on the receiving end of those bullets that didn't hit the target. You can just imagine how that might go if the rounds that continue their path end up in a highly populated area.

Iran - Russia - North Korea ..
Iran is expanding their influence in the Region .. and pushing the limits as much as they can .. The West can reply, however that would mean higher oil prices if you actually shut down Iranian and Russian Oil ...
oh, and need to add Venezuela to the mix, as they also want to start a war in South America for more oil
"Drones" and available affordable high tech have significantly changed the military balance .. the USA has plenty of lessons to be learned from the Russo-Ukraine war as well as Syria Civil War ...
Honestly, feeling that the UK abandoning Aden now was a poor idea ...
hmmm .. perhaps a bad idea to over throw Saddam also .. as he was a great counter to Iran ..

Yes, recent wars have shown that you can cause a lot of damage with old and cheap weapons as opposed to smart and expensive technology.
Basically, Hamas have been using that strategy for years, but Israel kept investing in smart missile/jets/subs.
Eventually, a few thousand terrorist having AK-47, RPG and a few Toyota Hillux, did massive damage.
In Gaza they have deep long tunnels with a lot of concrete which makes them complex to destory by air.
I hope the US will be smarter.
No weapon is obsolete until it can no longer kill.

Hmm, sounds like we did a poor job of training and/or the engineers never thought about this situation when they designed the system. I'd tend to believe the former and not the later. There must have been some bleeps that didn't correspond to our returning drone.
