Technically, I believe we have a peace deal with the Houthi and to the best of my knowledge they haven't attacked any US assets.   But I guess fucking with global energy supply counts.

Pentagon Pizza Index is still at Doughcom 4. Looks like the usual amount of tankers around the Persian Gulf. Nothing is currently happening.

Maybe Trump will try a big escalation ahead of the midterms to try to do a rally around the flag thing, but it seems like that would crash the market and send fuel prices even higher.

If you’re intending to nuke someone I think you send B-2s.

Or SLBM’s, or ICBM’s or even F-16’s if you’re looking to kill someone’s army pouring through something like the Fulda Gap. Heck, I think they rated the F-35 to carry B-61 free fall bombs awhile ago.

Probably just a training exercise for the Bone.

Probably, but having the real item to study is a big piece of understanding how to make (and why) what the drawings and spec sheet says.
Having some design plans for an F135 engine is a lot different than having an actual F135 in front of them to figure out how everything works and reverse engineer how it's made.

its the monocrystaline turbine blades with the conformal cooling channels that allows the engine to run near the melting point of the metal while it resists high G high temp creep that they can't reproduce in production yet.

Higher temps equal higher specific output.

The WS10 sucks compared to the f119 and f135. but the WS15 is a thing...but I don't thing its production ready yet.   They'll get it figured out about the time we start banging out combined cycle engines.

Like most things, you have the true believers willing to sacrifice, the middle ground that support the true believers but aren't willing to die, and the "Muslim in name only" group that doesn't like all the attention they get from the actions of the true believers.

The problem is, "radicalization" happens regularly and they're the only segment of the population that has "murder innocent people" baked into their core beliefs.  Going strictly by their scripture, if you aren't willing to commit Jihad, you aren't a Muslim.  The scripture itself says it's not up for interpretation or debate.

They hide behind religion to force their fucked up social ideology on anyone they can subjugate.  The truest statement that can be made is "Islam is incompatible with Western society."  It's been this way for 1,300 fucking years.
Everything posted above is factual. Maybe.

The fact that they've been able to get support from the left, while violently enforcing an ideology that is the antithesis of everything progressives claim to stand for, has to be the most impressive example of propaganda in history and/or proof that the left has no actual principles.

This entire situation has some roots tracing back to a red-green alliance in Iran after which the "red" side was almost entirely wiped out from what I understand. The left has one actual principle, which is power. Unfortunately for them and for all of us, they never understand or learn and the left here will make the same ultimately suicidal mistake the left there did. I just hope they don't gain enough power for the "islamists murder the communist morons who installed them and declare a theocratic dictatorship" part.

Trump decided against ordering U.S. airstrikes on Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis for now, after briefly telling the Pentagon to prepare strikes following a personal appeal from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to administration officials cited by the New York Times.

Most of Trump’s inner circle reportedly opposed opening another front in the war.

The Saudis have a defensive army and are trained that way.  Some call it a palace guard

They should buy a one page ad in SOF and get some real players

Or get some hired guns to do their fighting. Pakistan is somewhat that but not jumping at the opportunity at fighting Houthis.
