🇺🇸🇾🇪🚢 Wait until they find out the regional US base in Djibouti is in easy missile range from Yemen, and once NATO steps in there's zero reason for the Houthis to further refrain from striking it.

🇺🇸🇾🇪📝 It really is incredible watching the U.S. expose its top assets in this reckless of a manner.
All of their logistics are exposed here, and the Houthis have just demonstrated that ASBMs work. That should be ringing alarm bells in Washington, especially given the USN already concedes the Houthis have one of the best Anti-Ship missile forces in the world.

🇮🇷🇺🇸📝 Can we also acknowledge how masterfully Iran is working its proxies?
The only two American carriers in the region are now tied down either protecting Israel or protecting shipping on the other side of the Arabian peninsula. The only American combat power now directly facing Iran is in fixed positions that would die in the first 30 minutes of an actual war by thousands of Iranian ballistic missiles.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 In Israel, they proposed clearing Gaza and turning it into a museum like in the Auschwitz concentration camp
“Send all Gazans to refugee camps in Lebanon and level the entire sector so that it becomes an empty museum like Auschwitz ,” said David Azoulay, head of the city of Metula in northern Israel.
The gusto with which Israel talks about the destruction of the Palestinians, as well as the horrifying analogies, suggest “unlearned history lessons” on the part of the Jews there.

🇪🇺🇭🇺⚡️EU members are considering the possibility of depriving Hungary of its voting rights in order to conclude an agreement on the allocation of funds to Ukraine - FT with reference to European diplomats
🇺🇲🇺🇦 Negotiations on Ukraine in the Senate have failed again, writes the Wall Street Journal. The issue is unlikely to be resolved before Catholic Christmas, the newspaper suggests.
According to her, yesterday a negotiating group met in the Senate to discuss tightening migration policy, but a compromise could not be reached.
This is precisely the issue that Republicans are demanding that Biden resolve - in exchange for a vote for the aid package to Ukraine.
"That has further weakened the chances of any vote before Christmas. The lack of a breakthrough by the self-imposed weekend deadline underscored the difficulties facing Senate negotiations, even after the Biden administration signaled it was willing to make significant concessions on immigration policy." , says the article.
However, many Republicans who did not participate in the discussions "have expressed skepticism about any deal in recent days."

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel has discovered the largest Hamas tunnel under the Gaza Strip.
The IDF says it is four kilometers long and the entrance is located just 400 meters from the Erez crossing, which Gazans use daily to enter Israel.
It is curious that for the construction of tunnels Hamas allegedly uses a homemade roadheader, and all mechanical work is as automated as possible.
The dimensions of the structure allow it to accommodate civilian and military cargo, as well as a large number of people. The interior is equipped with ventilation, water and electricity.

The Red Sea is now largely closed to traffic, affecting 8.8 million bpd of daily oil transit, and nearly 380 million tons of daily cargo transit. Global traffic now will be rerouted around Cape of Good Hope, adding on average 40% to voyage distance and even more in expense.
The collective vessel market share of MSC, Hapag Lloyd, and Maersk — each of which are recent victims to piracy attacks and have decided to totally suspend voyages via the Red Sea — is approximately 40% of global cargo trade. Transit times from Asia to the Mediterranean were at a threshold last month, and are now expected to rise up to an additional 10-14 days.
Meanwhile, global sea freight face additional risks in the Western hemisphere as drought conditions plague the Panama canal.
Sue Terpilowski of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, which represents companies concerned with supply chains, told the BBC about the likely spike in costs after four of the top five companies in the world suspended operations in the area:
“It’s security to the crew, to the ship itself and also insurance policies. Premiums are now going sky high if they can get insurance at all, so it’s going to have serious implications on stock levels, on costs and the whole dynamics of supply chains.”
The acceleration of de-globalization is leading to a surge of uncertainty along major global maritime routes and transport expenses.
