So Biden, who campaigned on foreign policy smarts in 2020, ended one Forever War only to start/provoke/arm 3 more Forever Wars, including one genocide, with at least 3 more (Lebanon, Iran, and Taiwan) looming on the horizon. Will he break the record for presidential warmongers? Congress will not take any action to stop Biden even as the neocons, who run his foreign policy, continue to smash countries and run amok. It is incredible that our political class continues to believe that it is fit to lead.
'Operation Poseidon Archer'--with such a catchy name, we're sure to win. I suspect more time was spent on coming up with that name than any strategic consideration into the actual problem. Of course, the Houthis made it quite clear what it takes to stop the attacks, but let's not even consider ending the genocide. As Patrick Lawrence wrote in his latest post (Consortium News and Sheerpost), "...progress is measured in the West strictly according to material advances. In matters of ethos, humaneness, equality, environmental stewardship, the settling of conflicts — of the human spirit altogether — the West remains more primitive than many “primitive” societies."

Yes, but Israel is happy and nobody will lift a finger to help Yemen.
Needless to say, Yemen is only the appetizer, as the United States seeks any pretext to wage aggressive war on Iran.
