It doesn’t matter. Houtnis closed the trade routes and “the world’s strongest navy and air force” shat the bed pathetically trying to unblock them.

Your understanding of the situation is badly wrong.
Are the trade routes open? No? Then my understanding of the situation is exactly right.
Yes, the Cape of Good Hope is open and as traffic through the Suez has declined the traffic through the Cape of Good Hope has increased. The U.S. has made a political calculation on how to deal with the Israeli conflict. That decision has not in any way been influenced by a lack of military capabilities by the U.S. military.
And what “calculation” would that be? To publicly condemn Israel while privately funneling billions in borrowed money to it, and ineffectually expending extremely expensive ammunition in the Gulf of Aden? Was this a part of these “calculations”: https://www-tasnimnews-com.translate.goog/ar/news/2024/04/24...?
Feel free to expand on that if you’re so sure.
