Dozens of innocent Yemenis are dead and many more are maimed so that Trump and his allies could congratulate themselves for being “tougher” than Biden.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but aren‘t the Houthis‘ attacks in international shipping also illegal? Some ships that have been attacked have no connection to Israel, the country the Houthis claim is the main target of their attacks. The Houthis say the primary aim of their attacks is to pressure Israel to end its war in Gaza. I don‘t recall the UN sanctioning the Houthis‘ attacks.
The speed at which they went from non-existence from before 1994, (developing during the "war on terror") to current-day strategic player requires higher-level thinking in the US govt than bomb use, otherwise as the poster below noted, the world can go nuclear fairly quick.
With the fear countries that we have disagreements with usa grows of a tactical nuclear attack given the USA has stated it will 1st strike and the fact that our words regarding agreements are meaningless it would be in their best interests to either fold and not appose their repressor (USA) or unit and form a kind of NATO agreement that a strike on an individual is a strike on them all. Russia, China, India, Pakista, N.Korea joining this agreement could deter the USA and its allies to think twice before a 1st strike option. Any nation apposing us really has no option but to conider such an agreement.
A 3rd option is somehow learning to get along with each other dispute our differences. But that option requires trust and you got to be pretty naive to trust our word.
So my logical conclusion is we are on the brink of nuclear disasters.
