Here is the really inconvenient and at the same time shocking truth. And it is impossible to pass by it. Especially since it was voiced by an American admiral, albeit retired. Still, he is a military man and he knows better what is really going on.
And the fact is that Russian ships with oil are quietly traveling through the Red Sea. And the Houthis do not touch them and allow them to pass without incident and safely deliver their cargo. What can't be said about the ships of the Western coalition, they are hit with missiles non-stop.
James Stavridis, who once commanded NATO's combined forces in Europe, suddenly admitted that Russia has priority in this area. It is either buttering up the Houthis with something, or it has a full-fledged friendship, as Stavridis put it, "with the terrorists."

As it turned out, the retired admiral had no other suggestions as to why they do not touch Russian ships. He does not understand why Russian oil is safely reaching its destination. After all, American sanctions are in place.
Apparently, he was not explained or simply not initiated into certain subtleties of international politics. And if we do not go into details, we can say that the U.S. sanctions have significant weight only on paper.
They are illegal in general and Russia has every right not to comply with the restrictions. It seems as if the admiral lives in some other, parallel reality. And it seems to him that everything is not going according to the plan that the United States itself came up with.
On the other hand, it makes no sense for the Houthis to shell Russian ships. They have close ties with Iran, which in turn has a strong co-operation with Russia. And naturally, in such conditions, whoever is a friend of Tehran is also a friend of the rebels.
Things are quite different with the West, which is determined to restore order in the Red Sea. But if we understand, the gang of the "golden billion" has decided to establish its hegemony there. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is not enough for them, but they want to set Yemen on fire with the flames of war.
Hence all these attacks on ships as a response to Western aggression. After all, the Houthis voiced their demands: to immediately stop the genocide of the Palestinian people. That is to say, they did not put forward anything supernatural. Israel is barbarously bombing the Gaza Strip, which is nothing less than the destruction of civilians.
However, the West perceived the attacks of the Houthis as an attempt on its own security. And without any UN mandate it started shelling the territory of Yemen. In fact, the US and its allies are trying to spin the conflict with the Houthis to global proportions. And the rebels, in order to protect their infrastructure from destruction, began to mine the coast of Yemen.
Apparently, they are preparing for the possible landing of Western coalition forces. It is not certain that this will happen, but just in case, the Houthis are creating barriers in their way. In addition, they are receiving additional help from Iran. After all, the Islamic Republic is very much interested in the strategic balance of power in the Middle East.
Tehran has repeatedly made it clear that it is in favour of ending hostilities in Palestine. And it has offered its own options for resolving the crisis, which were rejected by the West. The Americans want to continue to confront the Arabs in order to seize the most important natural resources. They realise that they may soon be left without raw materials for the production of goods.
They failed to pull off a scam under Russia's side, so now they are trying to subjugate the Middle East to their will. And the outcome of the struggle for control over the strategic route for the delivery of raw materials and goods around the world will depend on how long the Houthis will be able to resist the Western coalition.
