The way to stop the Houthi attacks was obviously to stop the genocide in Gaza. instead the US has decided to escalate the war, with poodle Britain yapping behind, once again.
The United States and Britain have started carrying out strikes against targets linked to Houthis in Yemen, four US officials have told Reuters.
It’s the first time strikes have been launched against the Iran-backed group since it started targeting international shipping in the Red Sea late last year.
Associated Press is also reporting that US and British militaries have begun bombing sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen in a massive retaliatory strike.
A Houthi official says ‘enemy’ raids on Sana’a are taking place, according to Reuters. A witness in Yemen’s Sana’a has also told Reuters three explosions have been heard"
What I worry about is the collateral damage which may be caused, put bluntly isn’t it likely that some ‘civilians’ are killed in the damage? Then it will begin to look as if Britain is killing kids, just like the Israelis, in effective support of rogue Israel.
I believe the rational for it is the massive cost of the smart missiles needed to shoot down cheap unsmart drones, as well as more sophisticated weapons.
This is not just the USA and the UK, but a coalition of nations who are protecting the right to sail in international waters.
As I understand it, the strikes were on strictly military targets.
I have been listening to Jeremy Bowen this morning and his analysis is that Iran itself will not want to be dragged into a war, despite their backing for the Houthis and Hezbollah.
The way to stop this is to back a total ceasefire in the UN motions.
Israel must not be allowed to drag the rest of the world into war due to their appalling bombing of Gaza and denial of humanitarian aid.
That is so true, i really despair at the idiocy of these politicians. How is it that such comparatively successful societies such as ours simply cannot find enough people with untainted brains to elect?
Iran, despising supporting, funding and supplying all the bad actors in the region; will be doing their very best to avoid being on the receiving end of Operation Praying Mantis 2.
