You keep ignoring the truth when it does not agree with your agenda.
Back in December, Politico revealed that the White House was keeping news about the Red Sea attacks from Joe Biden. Biden’s own staff know that he could easily get us into a major war in an impulsive response to soulless, dog-faced, insurrectionist pony soldiers with veins bulging.
Biden team wary of retaliating against Houthi attacks at sea
The military’s job is to present a variety of options to senior commanders, but the ultimate decision is up to the president and the administration’s political appointees. In multiple high-level meetings this week, the Pentagon has neither briefed President Joe Biden on options to strike Houthi targets nor recommended that he do so, two of the officials said. All were granted anonymity to detail sensitive internal deliberations.

So you think he (we) should just let the Houthis close the international shipping lane without consequences? Are you serious?
Baring the use of nuclear weapons, taking out Houthis offensive capability will take time. These aren’t just some small-town thugs with a few rockets, they are a battle-hardened militant force with a wealthy arms supplier benefactor.
There are facts and there is spin. I tend to focus mainly on the facts, while ignoring the spin. You on the other hand tend to fabricate your own spin from the facts.
How can you possibly have any insight into the thoughts of Biden’s staff? Once again you are cherry picking a few factual nuggets and weaving them into a fantasy more to your liking.
Why would the White House admit that they delayed briefing Biden about the attacks in the Red Sea?
Every missile that the US fires in the Middle East is one fewer that is available to send to Ukraine.
Every US ship off the coast of Yemen is one fewer available for the coast of China.
Biden is his own worst enemy. Even the neocons who run the White House are tacitly admitting that.
Oh look! More mindless dribble.

No new shipping attacks by Houthis since January 18th. Looks like the strikes on Houthis targets are having an impact after all.

Pointless forever wars are great for sales by the military-industrial complex; attacks from the Houthis have increased, and the shipping industry is already expecting problems for at least six months. Of course, the bombing campaign also fits into Netanyahu’s objectives of continued escalation with no cease fire in Gaza–a win for the constituencies who matter in Washington. Mission accomplished!
“So far, it almost seems the Houthi attacks are just increasing,” said Bendik Folden Nyttingnes, a shipping analyst at Clarksons Securities.
In an email to clients, Honour Lane Shipping (HLS) said its carrier contacts are “informally” predicting the Red Sea situation will not be solved for at least six months, and could last up to a year. “If so, we expect the soaring freight rates and equipment shortage will continue till the third quarter,” it advised clients.

There was another US air strike today. That makes at least four by my reconning.

Actually there has been no new Houthi attack on shipping since January 18th. 
Yes, commercial shipping is going around Africa. There is no need from more attacks from the Houthis.
Ratheon’s earnings outlook is at stake. We need to keep shooting multimillion dollar missiles.
A key weapon in the most recent U.S. strikes is the Tomahawk cruise missile, which the U.S. military has, by an estimate from Capital Alpha Partners analyst Byron Callan, fired at least 80 times against Houthi targets since Jan. 11.

80 x $1.9 million = $152 million in tomahawk missiles. A large number of air-defense missiles are being used as well.
All this spending needs to continue in order to support IDF operations in Gaza:
The mother of a now-dead Israeli soldier captured by Hamas militants on October 7 says it was the Israeli military, not Palestinian resistance fighters, who killed her son. In a recently-published post on Facebook, Israeli mother Maayan Sherman wrote that her son Ron was “indeed murdered – not by Hamas,” but in circumstances more akin to “Auschwitz and the showers.”
The killing of her son, she wrote, was caused “not from accidental gunfire, nor from crossfire, but from premeditated murder – bombing with poison gas.”
“Ron was kidnapped because of the criminal negligence of all the senior officials of the army and this damned government, who gave an order to eliminate him in order to settle a score with some terrorist from Jabalya,” she added.
