    I think it simply comes down to that the Usonian pirate fleet would probably just sink the oil tankers heading to China.

      They didn’t do that when Yemenis closed the area to US and Israeli-linked ships, but let Chinese and other ships pass freely.

        I’m just guessing, tho. That time there wasn’t a US fleet right next to them of that size, the conflict wasn’t that big.

          There’s been 3 different carrier fleets off the coast of Yemen doing Operation GenocideProsperity Guardian

          The Yemenis are going to beast on them again just wait. They have great positioning for this especially once the regional radar (very important part of Iron Dome in Gulf monarchies, the loss of which is the reason warning time dropped by ≥80%) is completely obliterated.
