Premium Episode 5: The GAE Strikes Back
Manage episode 395301874 series 3435479
The Global American Empire has had its honour impugned by the Houthi Rebels, sometimes called a 'ragtag army'.
But as The Lads point out, that characterisation just doesn't work. High-end weapons, Iranian training, and a capacity to melt into the landscape will make 'winning' the war for control of the Red Sea an operational nightmare. With no clear goals, no obvious win criteria, and ever-more provocation to come, they think the transatlantic alliance is stepping into quicksand.
