Yes, I know that many people have trouble with math. The US on track to run out of missiles just fighting the Houthis.
The Pentagon says that it is purchasing ~140 missiles per year. It has already used 100 since operations started near Yemen, which corresponds to a rate of 400 to 600 per year. That means that the net loss is roughly 250 to 450 missiles per year.
Of course a real war with Iran or even Hezbollah could wipe out any remaining stocks long before the US could ramp up production.
The number of ships getting hit has only increased since the US and UK started bombing Yemen.
The Houthi attacks on commercial shipping associated with Israel have been in direct response to the attacks in Gaza that have killed thousands of children. Instead of using diplomacy to end this mess, the US recently vetoed yet another security council resolution to impose a ceasefire to end the killing.
The US is exhausting its limited stocks of missiles in a losing effort to support the right of Israel to kill civilians with impunity. How does this policy help America?
Biden must take some sort of perverse delight at the idea of bombing Yemen for years to come with no attainable objective in sight. He can’t help but brag about it.
It must be a compulsion, just like he can’t help but lie about his past whenever there is an opportunity. He has been doing that for decades.
