Nobody ever misplaced cash betting on the power of the Empire of Chaos, Lies and Plunder to assemble a “coalition of the prepared” each time confronted with a geopolitical quandary.
In each case, duly lined by the reigning “rules-based worldwide order”, “prepared” applies to vassals seduced by carrots or sticks to observe to the letter the Empire’s whims.
Cue to the newest chapter: Coalition Genocide Prosperity, whose official – heroic – denomination, a trademark of the Pentagon’s P.R. wizards, is “Operation Prosperity Guardian”, allegedly engaged in “making certain freedom of navigation within the Crimson Sea.”
Translation: that is Washington all however declaring conflict on Yemen’s Ansarullah. An additional US destroyer has already been dispatched to the Red Sea.
Ansarullah sticks to its weapons and is certainly not intimidated. The Houthi military have already harassed that any assault on Yemeni property or Ansarullah missile launch websites would color the entire Red Sea literally Red.
The Houthi army not solely reaffirmed it has “weapons to sink your plane carriers and destroyers” however made a shocking name to each Sunnis and Shi’ites in Bahrain to revolt and overthrow their King, Hamad al-Khalifa.
As of Monday, even earlier than the beginning of the operation, the Eisenhower plane service was round 280 km off the closest Ansarullah managed latitudes. Houthis have Zoheir and Khalij-e-Fars anti-ship ballistic missiles with a spread of 300 to 500 km.
Ansarullah Supreme Political Council member Muhammad al-Bukhaiti felt compelled to re-stress the apparent: “Even when America succeeds in mobilizing your entire world, our operations within the Crimson Sea won’t cease except the bloodbath in Gaza stops. We won’t surrender the accountability of defending the Moustazafeen (oppressed ones) of the Earth.”
The world higher prepare: “Plane service sunk” could turn out to be the brand new 9/11.
Delivery within the Crimson Sea Stays Open
Weapons peddler Lloyd “Raytheon” Austin, in his present revolving door place as head of the Pentagon, is visiting West Asia – principally Israel, Qatar and Bahrain – to advertise this new “worldwide initiative” for patrolling the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb strait (which hyperlinks the Arabian Sea to the Crimson Sea) and the Gulf of Aden.
As al-Bukhaiti remarked, Ansarullah’s technique is to focus on any ship navigating the Crimson Sea linked to Israeli firms or supplying Israel – one thing that for the Yemenis demonstrates their complicity with the Gaza genocide. That may solely cease when the genocide stops.
With a single transfer – a de facto maritime blockade – Ansarullah proved that the King is Bare: Yemen has finished extra in observe to defend the Palestinian trigger than many of the key regional gamers put collectively. By the way, they have been all ordered by Netanyahu in public to close up. They usually did.
It’s fairly instructive to as soon as once more observe the cash. Israel has been hit very laborious. The port of Eilat is nearly closed, and its revenue fell by 80%.
As an example, Taiwanese transport big Yang-Ming Marine Transport Company initially deliberate to re-route its Israel-bound cargo to the port of Ashdod. Then it lower off any shipments to any Israeli vacation spot.
It’s no surprise Yoram Sebba, President of the Israel Chamber of Delivery, revealed himself to be puzzled by Ansarullah’s “complicated” ways and “unrevealed” standards which have imposed “whole uncertainty”. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan have additionally been caught within the Yemeni web.
It is essential to maintain in perspective that Ansarullah solely blocks ships which might be going to Israel. The majority of maritime transport within the Crimson Sea stays large open.
So transport big Maersk’s choice to not use the Crimson Sea, alongside different world transport behemoths, could also be pushing the envelope too quick – as in almost begging for a US-led patrol to be in effect.
Enter CTF 153
To date, on one facet we now have Yemen nearly ruling the Crimson Sea. On the opposite facet, we discover UAE-Saudi-Jordan tandem, within the type of an – various – cargo land hall arrange from the port of Jebel Ali within the Persian Gulf throughout Saudi Arabia to Jordan after which Israel.
The hall makes use of logistical tech from Trucknet: that’s truck-based overland connectivity in observe, decreasing transport time from 14 days through the Crimson Sea to a most of 4 days on the street, 300 vans a day, on a regular basis.
Jordan after all is in, working the trans-shipment from the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
The overarching framework for all that is the One Israel plan, enthusiastically promoted by Netanyahu, whose key purpose is a hyperlink with the Arabian peninsula and most of all of the NEOM tech metropolis to be constructed theoretically as much as 2039 within the northwestern Tabuk province in Saudi Arabia, north of the Crimson Sea, east of Egypt throughout the Gulf of Aqaba, and south of Jordan.
NEOM is MbS’s venture to modernize the nation, which is by the way certain to characteristic Israel-operated AI cities.
That is what Riyadh is actually betting on, rather more than growing nearer relations with Iran below the framework of BRICS+. Or to care about the way forward for Palestine.
On the deliberate naval blockade of Yemen although, the Saudis have been far more circumspect. Whilst Tel Aviv instantly requested the White Home to do one thing, something, Riyadh “suggested” Washington to train some restraint.
But as few issues matter most for the Straussian neocon psychos who at present direct US coverage than to guard the commerce pursuits within the Crimson Sea of its aircraft-carrier in West Asia, the choice to arrange a “coalition” was all however inevitable.
Enter the newest – truly fourth – incarnation of the Combined Maritime Force (CMF): a multinational coalition from 39 nations established in 2002 and led by the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
The duty drive already exists: it’s CTF 153, specializing in “worldwide maritime safety and capability constructing efforts within the Crimson Sea, Bab al-Mandeb and Gulf of Aden”. That’s the idea for Coalition Genocide Prosperity.
Members of CTF 153 embody, other than the usual suspects US, UK, France and Canada, Europeans corresponding to Norway, Italy, Netherlands and Spain, superpower Seychelles and Bahrain (the Fifth Fleet factor).
Saudi Arabia and UAE, crucially, usually are not members. They know, after a seven-year conflict, after they have been a part of one other “coalition” (the US was form of “main from behind”) what it means to battle Ansarullah.
All Aboard the Northern Sea Route
If the Crimson Sea scenario turns actually pink, it is going to immediately shatter the Riyadh-Sanaa ceasefire. The White Home and the US Deep State merely don’t need a peace deal. They need Saudi Arabia at conflict with Yemen.
The Crimson Sea turned pink may even ship the worldwide vitality disaster right into a tailspin. In any case no less than 4 million barrels of oil and 12% of whole world seaborne-trade to the West transits the Bab al-Mandeb each single day.
So as soon as once more we now have graphic affirmation that the Empire of Chaos, Lies and Plunder solely requires ceasefires when it’s dropping badly: see the Ukraine case.
But no ceasefire in Gaza – supported by the overwhelming majority if UN member-states – runs the danger of metastasizing into an enlargement of the conflict in West Asia.
That will match into the clumsy imperial rationale of setting West Asia on fireplace to disturb China’s industrial BRI drive and the entry of Iran, Saudi Arabia and UAE into the expanded BRICS subsequent month. Concurrently, and in tune with the absence of actual strategic planning in Washington, that doesn’t consider an array of appalling, unintended penalties.
So in accordance with imperial optics, the one path forward is additional militarization – from the Mediterranean to the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Crimson Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. That matches precisely into the framework of the War of Economic Corridors.
An axiom ought to be set in stone: Washington would quite wager on a potential, deep world recession than merely permitting a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. The recession could effectively turbo-charge a widespread financial collapse of the collective West, and an much more speedy rise of multipolarity.
To supply a lot wanted aid of a lot madness: nearly casually, President Putin not too long ago remarked that the Northern Sea Route is now turning into a extra environment friendly maritime commerce hall than the Suez Canal.
