::::I got enough stuff to begin an outline. According to [[Larry Johnson]] (no fan of Netanyahu), [[Aegis missile]]s cost somewhere between $500,000 and $2 million, but that's what they got to shoot down $5,000 drones (which likely will be used in swarms). Seems hopeless, and just a propaganda show of force ploy at this point. I got a bad feeling about all of it.

:::::Here's what I'm thinking: we should start the page with the economic stuff, given that closure of the Red Sea and Suez will have a long term global, [[inflation]]ary effect due to disruption of supply chains (the source I posted tells how a ship can only make 4 runs a year by detouring around the Cape of Good Hope rather than 5 through Suez, etc). This seems the best hope, rather than military confrontation that the US Navy has a high risk of getting its butt kicked.
