The US and the UK strike Houti targets in Yemen overnight. Good or bad?

Since Biden Trump has become president the world has become a much more dangerous place. He's a weak leader.

FTFY

the pointless and dangerous part is where the Houthis were firing missiles at commercial shipping.

It isn't a good thing this has had to happen, because it didn't need to, but sitting back and watching the Houthis trying to sink any passing ship they fancied isn't really an option.

Trump was looking for a war with Iran before his presidency came to an end. He was probably holding back a bit because he didn't want to damage his bromance with Putin.

they've sat back and watched palestine being levelled and 1000s of children being killed, but as soon as something might affect commerce they're suddenly concerned

yeah it's all the palestinian's fault of course

Which specific Palestinian?

But didn't Trump relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem and slaughter an Iranian general to amuse his New Years guests?

I would rate someone with principles as stronger than someone infatuated by money and pleasing the most easily led supporters since Heavens Gate gave free trips to the afterlife.

So they should sit and watch terrorists attack commercial shipping?

Of course the other thing is that those in the UK which I Brexited from, begrudge eight pounds a week plus a room for refugees and asylum seekers and are very vociferous about it too, even to the point of violence.

Yet those same "financially astute" citizens never seem to be concerned at the use of a bomb costing 100,000 to take out a perfectly innocent Middle Eastern family.

Lo and behold, they have their army trot in like any American poodle does and then can't seem to figure out why Iranians, Iraqis and Syrians form a large number of the displaced floating in across the channel.

But it wasn't the Americans this time.

It was the Houti's. The Americans haven't terrorised shipping for a while, I guess they were too busy locking the MAGA crowd up to carry on terrorising Iran's customers.

They had very little options .Need to send the Houti's a message but will take more strikes.

The region is already radicalised,

Israel is the only sane country in the region

Sending the Houthis a strongly-worded letter of condemnation?

If the Houthis had only targeted Israeli shipping, that would have been a slightly trickier proposition, but firing at ships of different nationalities isn't on.

But for Hamas and the Houthis, it's all about creating chaos in order to widen conflict in the region and they don't care if their own people lose their lives in the retaliation as the survivors will become the next generation of recruits.

More US strikes being reported tonight/morning

Bad ... and it is all an old game ... a game that kills too many innocent people ... and mainly by fake countries ... all this war and all sides are no better than each other ... when will we ever learn ...

Israel ... a creation of the aftermath of the British occupation of Palestine ruled mostly by Europeans ... not the Israel of King David et al ...

Iran ... a fake Arabised voodoo country created in 1979 ... after the overthrow of a fake Westernised country .... the real Iran did not exist since the Persian empire days ... now it is Chechnya writ larger ... greater Russia ... before that it was another American stooge ...

The Arab States ... just corrupt monarchies supporting the US cause and giving them oil ... Arabia as an entity is just as dead as Iran ...

The US ... a continuity state founded on British colonialism that took the lands of native Americans ... maybe once the most powerful state on earth ruled by the natives if you believe in Atlantis ...

Yemen, Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan = the chess board ....

Sure how's things in Russia these days a little cold I hear

Sending the Houthis a strongly-worded letter of condemnation?

They actually did do that. 😂

It was a final warning before escalation, and then the Houthis launched their most intense attack.

So using that logic, the brits would have been justified to kill tens of thousands Irish civilians just because of the " Irish terrorists" threat

I mean terrorists being terrorists.

The government of the 26 counties has always been on good diplomatic terms with the UK and was as much an enemy to the IRA as them, even fought a civil war against them. Hamas ruled Gaza, on the other hand is violently hostile to the very existence of Israel.

Yeah but 30% of the worlds consumer goods don't go through Gaza.

People need their washing machines and smart phones.
