   Iran’s military resources are almost decimated. How do you intend they are going to do that?

      I wondered the same thing. Who else has DEWs? Disable or eliminate cargo ships in the Red Sea with suicide drones?

      Have you noticed that the USS FORD CBG had to cut short a transit through the Red Sea due to a 30 hour “laundry fire” and withdraw from the entire theatre in the middle of a shooting war?

      Have you noticed that the USS Bush CBG avoided the Red Sea entirely and sailed the long way around the Cape of Good Hope for the specific reason of avoiding hostile threats in the Red Sea in order to reach the Gulf region? (See USNI)

      Have you noticed that the United States Navy fought the Yemeni Houthis for 7 months over a year ago for control of the Red Sea and failed to prevent them from interdicting traffic in that chokepoint until there was an Israeli ceasefire in the root conflicts?

      Have you noticed that the ballistic missile fire hitting Tel Aviv and all of our bases in the region was never stopped? Have you noted that the known range of those systems reaches much of the Red Sea to include the Saudi oil hubs there?

      How do you get from Obliterated on day 2 and 3 to mere “almost decimated” 48 days later following an air campaign for most of that time that has run down our JASSM stand-off missile stocks? I can tell you how if you are not clear. It was because we spend a lot of time bombing decoys, obsolete and mothballed aircraft and ships, police stations, hospitals, college campuses, cops directing traffic, private residences of politicians, civilian energy infrastructure, water desalination plants, railroad bridges that have since been repaired, etc.
      Did you notice that when the Pakistani delegation arrived in Iran yesterday, the diplomatic aircraft was escorted by Iranian F-4 Phantom and Mig-29 fighters that Trump and CENTCOM told us were wiped out weeks ago? It was just like the time a week or so ago when the decimated and out of action air defense network took out all kinds of American aircraft over Iranian airspace. The aircraft graveyard in Isfahan does not suggest US air supremacy.

      What are your questions on this block of instruction?

   How long will the Houthies last without Iran’s arms support. The war department has not given me the latest intel in the Red sea if what you say is true. It is my understanding that up 70 percent of the news coming out of this region is dished out by radical islamists and communist China and Russia who all have an agenda of misinformation.

   How long did they last against Saudi Arabia and the GCC States in the war that started in 2015 and had US/Israel/Egyptian backing? Much of the Yemeni weapons development and production is organic, but no one has been able to stop Iranian support in over 10 years anyway and the US Navy has been on that case the whole time.

   Do you really think the USN had to rush the BUSH CBG into and early deployment to replace the failed FORD CBG only to send them the long way around Africa just because of “radical islamists”, Chicom, and Russian misinformation? Do you really want to go out on that intellectual limb?
   There cannot possibly be anyone less trustworthy or credible than Donald Trump and the Hegseth War Dept. Those 2 stood side by side on camera and stated flatly the lie that the Iranians had bombed their own girl’s school and not the USN weapons officers who were remotely flying the Tomahawks and double tapped that target. The Iranians know who did it and the officers of that ship have been marked.

   We’re not there so we can’t ‘know.’ We have to listen to others to determine what we ‘believe.’ So, one can accept Fox News and the Trump administration or folks like Larry Johnson (former CIA analyst), Col Mcgregor, Col Davis, Prof Mearsheimer, Alistair Crooke (former MI6 & British Diplomat). The former have consistently lied to us, the latter have been there, done that, and still have sources in the military and foreign countries. Choices. We all have choices.
