Ass kicked implies lost lives, lost vessels, lost territory of operation. The ships are still there, they are just busy.
It’s nothing new and nothing about the houthis or the us navy that makes mobile land launched missiles and drones a competent challenge to ships at sea.
The normal follow up would be to fuck off or start blasting the whole coast. The fact that we are seeing a third option is interesting.
No, ass kicking implies being defeated in what you set out to do which was to protect shipping. US navy failed to do its mission. It was defeated by Yemen. Blasting the whole coast was precisely what US tried to do at the start with the air strikes, and that achieved nothing. Furthermore, it’s pretty clear that US lacks the industrial capacity and supply chains to maintain this for much longer.
When you definitely know what ad hominem means, also nobody dodged any of your “points”. I addressed them repeatedly, but I guess lacking basic reading comprehension you had trouble understanding what I wrote.

No, blasting the coast is desert storm levels of obliteration, anything less is as I said earlier “one arm behind back”.
Military Ships are still there, commercial ships are still traveling there.
Edit there’s lots to disagree on rationally, but the depth of the US mic is not anywhere close to being tapped, by ability.
US doesn’t have this capability kiddo.
What part of commercial traffic having dropped by 90% are you struggling with there?
you keep on coping
Hah ad hominems after you dodged half my original points. Cya!

“kiddo”
🥱
Confusing insults with ad hominem is a common mistake that individuals with low intellectual capacity make.
No, you weren’t just insulting me, you were trying to devalue my presence in the discussion by painting me a child, in turn diluting my position.
That’s classic ad hominem because the insult was tied to the possible value of the argument.
Now you’re just insulting me, and still not addressing my argument / position / points.
You’re slap fighting all on your own now, as I won’t engage in that edit by calling you things back.
