In the past two days, another big secret of the US has been exposed.

 Today's going to be a short piece.

First, look at this news: After making a lot of noise and sending two aircraft carriers to bomb the Houthi forces for a long time, the last US carrier in the Red Sea announced yesterday that it's withdrawing and heading back home.

What does this event signify? The US has suffered another defeat: In just a short span of over a month, a bunch of its "Reaper drones," valued at around $100 million each in the international market, were shot down by the Houthis. Additionally, two F-18 carrier-based aircraft plummeted into the sea, turning from planes into submarines in an instant. However, these incidents aren't surprising as they were somewhat anticipated. But there's one thing that has been quite puzzling: A while back, the US and the Houthi forces, these two major military powers, abruptly announced a ceasefire agreement, leaving the entire world, including Israel, baffled and wondering what had transpired. Recently, some US media outlets have published articles finally revealing the inside story. It's claimed that after the Houthi forces nearly shot down an F-35 stealth fighter, the US was thrown into a panic, realizing that continuing the conflict would lead to no good outcome, and thus hastily agreed to a ceasefire. How should we interpret this? For a long time, Western public opinion has been hyping up the weapons of the US and other Western countries while belittling those of China and Russia. The primary rhetoric the West employs regarding our weapons is the lack of combat experience. Not long ago, when Pakistan used the J-10C to shoot down an Indian Rafale fighter jet, it caused a global sensation. However, the French shifted the blame, claiming that their planes are excellent and the issue was with the Indian pilots not utilizing them effectively. But in the case of the F-35 stealth fighter nearly being taken down by the Houthis, the Americans can't dodge responsibility. After all, the aircraft was piloted by a US aviator, and it escaped through maneuvering and jamming by sheer luck.

To put it bluntly, if the Houthi missiles were a bit more accurate and the PL-15 had targeted it, the F-35 would likely have been history.

If the F-35 had truly been shot down by the Houthi forces, how could the Americans continue selling hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of arms? Having realized the immense danger, the US felt compelled to reconcile with the Houthi forces, this so-called world military power. How should we interpret this? No wonder during our negotiations with the US in Geneva, the Americans disregarded their usual arrogance, put aside their "Dayerman Yingxue," and agreed to numerous terms. Nowadays, the US can't even subdue the Houthi forces. After this exposure, we'll have to reassess its military capabilities. If the US doesn't possess the military strength it once boasted of and desperately tries to convince other nations of, yet still aims to have a massive share of the pie, its future seems rather bleak. But can the US cover this up all by itself? Probably not. Because in the coming period, numerous countries will find various pretexts and reasons to openly or covertly test the true military strength of the US. We don't even need to take action! As the saying goes: A god cannot bleed. Once a god bleeds, the faith will collapse, and then a multitude of god-slayers will emerge. The US is likely going to be busy dealing with various challenges ahead!
