2:10 pm
i'm afraid this is not going to be the end of it. so what we need to reopen, really the maritime straight to a bunch of money that adds the so it's canal is a sustained maritime military presence to make sure that there was these cannot compact and piracy um, any ships anymore. and you need to deter them from using that long range, striking capabilities. that's why the message from us and okay. and the international coordination was, or the only problem there is both towards the lucy's. as well as to the wrong motivation wise to both. these are a super empty based i'm, i'm ti submitted both with as logan is called, is the greatest as to where i got this too, as well occurs upon the jews victory to his lab. so we have to assume that they are continue want to continue to try to take advantage of the situation of the war upon us against the as well to gain favor within their support as within the capabilities that they will. these have uh,
2:11 pm
stemming from iraq. i already the who is yeah, well, if they're getting their weapons from around, is there a way then that the supply chain can be caught? we need to be much strict to have with what the wrong path can get, right? so everyone knows where this locally smuggling roots go. everyone knows with supply chains, go mazda, proceed except, and sees that for the straight up, for most, is the water way. here, most of the long range capability spat pots the will. these have the ability to assemble rockets, they don't have the ability to produce that path, are coming from that needs to be much try to control. right now the if the us ministry strikes time to turn the group from attacking ships in the red sea, are there other means of stopping this? like for example, um come to be told what other means does the international community have as yeah, so a couple of issues here. um that it turns is going to be too full number one is
2:12 pm
going to be sustained military presence. that is going to be sustained strikes every time the work is to something the americans are trying to retain the escalation. so many used to like 150 hit the target that's the, that aim of the united states. secondly, more controls on what the maintenance of doing in supplying the fees, in particular as long, right? the main stream is straight try capabilities go. and sadly, we need to be really serious about this actions that already exist against the roof . he's and a violent behavior inside of human, and that means may need to be much better in controlling the version off. actually who many 10 results is with, with these regularly speed, regularly resale, and which contributes a major part of their income. right? now another question i really want to put to you is that instead of weakening the who sees could these strikes by the us actually give the,
2:13 pm
the who sees more leverage, of course inside them. and if you can tack fine outside force, you always gain some more sympathizes and, and that's the whole point by the who's he's doing this, that feeling very comfortable with this conflict as task you're wrong inside what you are on doesn't one is the regional call. now i know regional friends of to with these outside of the ring and i saw mcrae public i just as a reminder the correlation that i saw the lips in yemen in 2015 included the pot from saudi arabia tonight at the image. don, rank waste cutoffs, egypt jordan more when sending out. so there's really no out of state whose hawk is feeding for the reading books the likes. so we just simply need to make sure that the rains understand that they are walking sleep, walking into a regional confrontation with united states, which they apparently in the last couple of months do not want to have otherwise they would have activated this for a long time. ago thanks hon. see echo pansy i coefficient or senior director at the
