The administration’s diplomatic effort to head off Moscow’s transfer of missiles to Yemen involves using a third country to try to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin not to join Iran in providing weapons to the Houthis, according to U.S. officials, who declined to identify the country.

I feel like a more effective solution would be to just, you know, sink the ship or down the plane (deniably, of course) that the Russians will use to deliver the missiles. Or better yet: let the Ukrainians know, and give them some surveillance and intelligence backup. Gotta test those new F-16s out somehow.

The Ukrainians are busy sinking ships in the Black Sea, I'd rather let them focus on that. So I'd rather see Putin send his stuff off to a remote theatre and then have it destroyed by others out there.

The Ukrainians don’t have a navy. The only naval weapons Russia is using in Ukrainian are anti-sub rocket launchers welded onto BMP3s.
