The USA has admitted it has failed to take out the Houthis. This news comes from anonymous sources inside the Pentagon itself, according to Dr. David Oualaalou. It seems the Houthis are not short of missiles and drones.
What has never been talked about regarding the war against the Houthis was the number of USA Reaper Drones shot down by the Houthis. According to Dr. Oualaalou, 17 such drones have been shot down so far. At the cheapest of US$30 million a pop, it is costly. What did the Houthis use to shoot them down is perplexing and the USA has no answer. The USA is starting to blame Iran for such effective weapons being used by the Houthis. Any attack on Iran is going to drag the Russians in, as Putin has already said that the Russians will step in if Iran is attacked. Will the USA and Israel take the bait?
The USA, despite its touted military might and aerial and weapons superiority, also failed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam when fighting against enemies using guerilla warfare tactics. When it comes to guerilla warfare, China is well versed in exploiting it. Besides Sun Tsu's Art of War, Mao Tse Tung formulated his own guerilla warfare tactics - 'When the enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue.' One mistake Mao made was not pursuing the Nationalist and wiping them out in Taiwan.
I think Mao's tactics that others learned, worked in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and is working for the Houthis against the USA. These countries do learn from Vietnam onwards, when even with half a million troops in Vietnam at its peak, on top of those from South Vietnam itself and allies, the USA could not carve out a victory. The USA has no answer when fighting countries using guerilla warfare and is terrified of getting sucked into another Afghanistan in Ukraine and Yemen. A nuclear war means no winners.

PS. Trump unintentionally exposed the sinking of warships by saying, 'they would not sink any more American warships'.

About the sinking of USA warships, the USA had been denying all along, while the Houthis were saying that they did sank USA warships.
India is spending a few billion dollars to buy easy-to-shoot-down USA Reaper Drones . . .
India had been blackmailed by Trump and has no cards to play. Modi has to fly specially to Washington even before Trump's tariff came into force, to kiss his arse, slapped and had his face smeared with shit.
India is facing three enemies now - China, Pakistan and Bangladesh and escalating border tensions too.
India had long been gloating about becoming the global drone hub, so why need to buy from USA? Oh, I forgot India has to buy more from USA after being forced by Trump and what better than paying tens of millions for each reaper drone. Good idea to reduce India's trade surplus with USA by going for the most expensive stuff, LOL.
What the USA says, just think of the opposite. What the USA denies, just believe in the opposite. You will not be wrong.
