    I read the article and that headline is clickbait as fuck. The tl;dr was that the US sent ships but...

    It wasn’t deterring the Houthis and it wasn’t reassuring shipping so they might as well go and do something else.

    Anybody that has ever tried to picnic outside knows that all it takes is a handful of persistent mosquitoes to ruin the whole thing and have the entire party pick up their gear and move it indoors.

      They will just keep running out of expensive interceptor missiles and have to flee again soon enough. That definitely qualifies as defeat in a military sense.
