The United States and Britain, some time ago, didn't they vigorously want to carry out naval and air strikes against the Houthis in the Red Sea, as if all forces have begun to rattle and see that a war in the Middle East is about to break out.
At the critical moment, the Houthis suddenly spoke, saying that as long as the ships passing through the Red Sea made it clear that they had nothing to do with Israel, they would not be attacked by the Houthis.
I have to say that the Houthi tactic is more painful for the Americans than it is for the Americans. Some time ago, under the pretext of maintaining peace and freedom of navigation, the United States summoned the armies of various countries to build a multinational maritime alliance of "Guardians of Prosperity" in the Red Sea.
To put it bluntly, the United States just wants to put itself on the side of justice, so that it can form a multinational force to provide cover for Israel and help Israel share the pressure in the Gaza Strip. Once the Americans lose the so-called support of public opinion, it will undoubtedly shake the determination of the US allies to engage the Houthis in the Red Sea, and will also arouse the anger of the international community, which will be extremely detrimental to the credibility and camouflage image of the United States in the world.
And it is precisely this point that the Houthis hit, didn't the Americans say that they threatened freedom of navigation, and the Houthis directly stated that they were only targeting Israel, and also showed the target and purpose of the attack. In front of the whole world, expose the ugly face of the United States and Israel.
Even if world public opinion is once again fooled by the Americans, as long as there are doubtful voices, the military power of the United States in the Middle East will become timid. Because this will become an extremely unstable factor, just like the United States engaged in multinational coalition escorts, and the number of countries involved is far less than the Americans think.
Moreover, the original intention of the Houthis is not to militarize the Red Sea, which exposes the ambition of the United States to arm the Red Sea region. Some people may ask, the cargo ship bound for Israel will definitely not be so honest.
How can the Houthis distinguish whether the cargo ship is really related to Israel or whether it is fake? It is very simple, they can be deceived once, but they cannot be deceived twice; if the Houthis discover a ship related to Israel and make a false report, then they will directly put it on the blacklist, and if they dare to come again, they will be directly seized.
But then again, the United States is not a "lamb to the slaughter." In my opinion, if the ships on the Red Sea are too clearly distinguished by the Houthis, the cunning US military will have no reason to provoke trouble, and the ships bound for Israel will also be exposed to the public eye, which is not conducive to the dark box operation of the Americans. At this time, it is very likely that the Americans will secretly blow up ships in the Red Sea, and then put the hat on the head of the Houthis to stir up the situation in the Red Sea again, so that there is a good reason to continue to launch attacks on the Houthis and militarize the Red Sea.
After all, even if the Americans knew that Israel was causing a massacre in the Middle East, they still chose to play dumb, which shows that the Americans have no intention of stopping, but are playing "one thing in front of Israel and one thing behind the scenes".
It's just that the Houthis now have a direct purpose and don't want to pretend anymore, which is by no means good news for Biden, because the problem has been thrown to the side of the United States, and then to launch a military operation against the Houthis in the Red Sea, they have to find another excuse.
