The US Navy says it can’t stop the Houthi attacks on shipping with force alone

I’m sorry, Harvey. Your beloved Navy is now full of pusscakes. Weakness, weakness, wokeness.
The US Navy’s counter-Houthi mission will not be enough on its own to stop the Iran-backed rebels from attacking vulnerable merchant ships, the admiral overseeing operations in the Middle East said this week.
Vice Adm. George Wikoff, the commander of US Naval Forces Central Command, said that it will take more than force and firepower to deal with the Houthis. Rather, Washington and its allies must come up with an alternative way to apply pressure on the group.
“The solution is not going to come at the end of a weapon system,”
Oh, yes it will. Do pirates sit down at a negotiation table? No, they don’t.
Wikoff said Wednesday at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. “It’s going to be the international community.”
“Wikoff” rhymes with what?
