According to major media reports, the United States recently launched an unprecedented attack on the area controlled by the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. The US B-2 "Ghost" strategic bomber led the operation and caused considerable losses to the Houthi armed forces. You know, this is the only stealth strategic bomber in the world today. It is not only extremely difficult to be detected by the detection system, but also has a combat range of more than 10,000 kilometers. It can also carry a large number of missiles and even nuclear bombs. It is said that the cost of construction alone is more than 2.4 billion US dollars, while the entire Yemeni GDP for the whole year is only about 20 billion US dollars. The Houthi armed forces do not even have a decent air defense system. In other words, this is completely a way of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

The US economy has not been very prosperous in recent years. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths to deal with a regional armed organization? The cost of investment may be much higher than the opponent's losses. Some analysts believe that there are at least two important reasons why the US did this. The first is to demonstrate its strong military strength. Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Houthi armed forces have fought with the United States and repeatedly blocked the United States from the Red Sea. It is said that they even seriously injured and destroyed US warships. Now many countries in the Middle East are questioning the strength of the United States. If the Houthi armed forces cannot be defeated as soon as possible, then the United States' control over the Middle East will be greatly affected, which will lead to the loss of huge interests. Therefore, this "cannon to kill mosquitoes" method can only be used. Even if the Houthi armed forces cannot be completely eliminated, at least a large number of Middle Eastern countries can feel that the United States has not declined. More importantly, Israel has recently provoked almost all members of the "Axis of Resistance", and even Iran has signaled war against it. In addition, the United Nations also has an attitude of reprimanding and warning Israel, so it is not easy for the United States to personally help it solve all its enemies. The only way to help Israel is to provide a large amount of weapons assistance so that it will not be dragged down by a war of attrition.

However, the Houthis have almost blocked the Red Sea shipping lanes, so the United States cannot provide full assistance to Israel. Therefore, using thunderous means to break the blockade is the most appropriate choice for the United States. Therefore, this time, the use of a butcher knife to kill a chicken should have this purpose. After all, the importance of Israel to the United States is self-evident. Once Israel is lost, it is actually equivalent to being completely driven out of the Middle East. Although it is undeniable that the US military's attack did have a very good effect, it is said that at least five underground weapons depots of the Houthis were destroyed. According to the US's thinking, it should put them in a dilemma of insufficient weapons and ammunition, but the United States may have forgotten an important thing. Russia has clearly stated that it will help the Middle East region to fight hegemony. Recently, it has continuously shipped a large number of advanced equipment to Iran. As the leader of the "Axis of Resistance", Iran will definitely distribute some weapons to the Houthis, a powerful "little brother".

It is conceivable that the Houthis must be "full of anger" at the moment, ready to make the United States suffer a major setback in the Red Sea. Of course, the US aircraft carrier battle group is not a "soft persimmon" either, so the two sides are likely to fight to the death in the Red Sea next. In this way, a more fierce war is about to break out in the Red Sea again. In the end, will the United States completely defeat the Houthis, or will the Houthis make the United States "humiliated"? Let us wait and see.
