Yet the US political and economic class mindset are stuck in the 90s. They are still convinced that the US can somehow defeat Chin a conflict in the Pacific even though the USN is struggling with Yemen. What this also tells me that Iran can shut off the straights of Hormuz with ease and there is little the US can do.
It is the vision still trapped in Desert Storm. But the US really didn't want to solve the problem, because the military is clearly aware that to solve the Houthis' problem is to land on land and that has a political/financial cost, in addition to the diplomatic cost.

Pretty much. And the Houthis would gladly love the US to engage in a ground war knowing it will be Afghanistan with manpads,drones, ballistic missiles and atgms.
Also that Desert Storm mindset will only end is if the US suffers a major strategic defeat.

Yesterday 11 Israeli soldiers were killed inside a Namer APC that was hit by an ATGM in Rafah. Horrific death toll for Israel. If this is what Hamas is doing to Israel than a war with Hezbollah would be insane. Hezbollah is flushed with advanced atgms. So in a hypothetical war scenario they would suffer likely 3x that amount in a daily basis.
Was watching video by History Legends on Israeli losses and I’m shocked at the manpower issue Israel has. If they want to wage war against Hezbollah they would have to completely withdraw the 3 divisions from Gaza and the 1 division West Bank then redirect them to the north with the two divisions in the north. And even with that there is little guarantee of total victory which Israeli doctrine states has to be the outcome. Especially if another front opens up in the Golan Heights with hundreds of thousands of Shia foreign fighters swarming over. This explains why ex Israeli generals are panicking about the state of the Israeli military.

How on earth can the U.S. navy struggle so badly?
