i.e. yet another front is about to open in WW3
Iran is more than happy to have a proxy war with the US in the meat grinder of Yemen, considering there is zero end strategy there for the US.
I don't know about that. This could reinforce the alliance between the US and the Saudis, which we all know are against Iran.
The end game here could look like a US sanctioned and supported invasion of Yemen by the Saudis, maybe in exchange for support to Israel by Saudi Arabia. This in the end would just increase US power in the middle east.
The saudis could not hold Yemen any more than the US could.
Not enough people have read The Prince.
Im not saying it's a glowingly perfect ethical work. I am saying it is horribly plain spoken on what works.
This isn’t going to be a proxy war. This is going to be Praying Mantis 2.0 — a week or so of surgical and quick dismantling of Iranian assets in the region removing their ability to project power outside of their borders and airspace.
The Indians may get involved now. This tanker was taking oil to India with an Indian crew. Also, a long ways away from the Red Sea.
India also has an active scoreboard when it comes to pirates as well.
Iran gonna run out of proxys once Hamas and the Houthis are wiped off the map. Hezbollah be sitting there firing an occasional rocket so they aren't forgotten but they seem smart enough to understand self preservation cuz it doesn't look like the guys with the big guns are fucking around anymore.
