‘A f***-up of epic proportions’: Blame game begins after Iran-backed Houthis’ lightning advance down Red Sea coast
US Navy Adm. Brad Cooper flew to the kingdom overnight Thursday as Yemen’s Riyadh-backed forces crumbled in the face of a lightning Houthi offensive
Houthis took critical chokepoint out of red sea that they couldn’t do for many years and now can effectively close it just like Iran closed other one- with very little effort needed. That effectively controls Suez passage
Amazing, this isn’t news in my country at all. Thanks!

Rerouting via the Cape: The Scale of the Impact
A Shanghai–Rotterdam voyage via the Suez Canal typically covers approximately 10,500–10,600 nautical miles, taking three to four weeks depending on vessel speed and port scheduling. The Cape of Good Hope alternative adds roughly 3,200 nautical miles and seven or more days at typical liner service speeds — which is a meaningful addition to round-trip voyage time.
That extra week per voyage doesn’t just delay individual shipments. It removes vessel capacity from circulation systemically: a ship spending an extra week in transit is a ship that can’t load the next cargo that’s waiting for it. Across dozens of Asia–Europe services each rerouting simultaneously, the aggregate effect is a significant tightening of effective global vessel capacity — which translates directly into higher freight rates and, with a lag, into tighter domestic used container supply in the US secondary market.
It also means that anything perishable is fucked.
The hothis came through. Saudis begged Trump for help but he wouldn’t give it, now the whole world is fucked.
You think the fleet is going home?
Eventually it has to. Repairs, maintenance etc.
I don’t think its gonna come down to Africa , more likely they will make some deal with Iran and get a passage, but… You never know. And we would have to concede… Something… And Israel won’t let us…
It would need to come home for repairs, if the government cared about it being functional. It would have to come home for the crew, if the government cared about the crew.
Tbh, I think it’s going to rust in the gulf.
This just shows that the system doesn’t work and we are heading towards WW3 and a new world order and if we stay on this course billions will die and the 1% will obtain complete control, it’s a plan that’s been in motion for decades and in a few years it might be completed.
Hopefully it’s just a conspiracy theory and none of my bullshit will come true.
Listen friend, I know things are bad right now. But you forgot about climate change.
Shit dude. That’s some dark humor
lol
no
I really frigging hope we dont get it to ww3. its gonna be worse for everyone.
useless scum like mark zuckerberg gonna be in his bunker ofc, its just regular people that gonna die
