The West spent a decade sponsoring a genocide against Yemen, now they’re attacking it directly for the sake of supporting a different genocide.
Mask off behaviour
Solidarity with the people of Yemen. I would rather share the burden than just watch. I predict many share my feelings and some might act on it.
Viva la resistance

Depends whether this is a limited operation or a beginning of another war. Because that will shatter the already worldwide fragile state.
A “special military operation”, if you will.
One of the main guarantees of the US-led world order is that the Straight of Hormuz will stay open for commerce. The fact that the Houthis can shut it down is a huge blow to US hegemony.
In the modern age of drone warfare, US aircraft carriers are a liability. Sure, we can send in the USS Medical Bankruptcy carrier strike group and launch a few million dollar missiles, but the blockade stays in place.
There seems to be only two options to stop this blockade: End the genocide, or invade Yemen in a war against the Houthis. Genocide Joe can’t afford to start a middle east war in an election year, so this tit-for-tat will continue into the near future.
It’s spelled ‘Strait of Hormuz’, not ‘Straight of Hormuz’… And the situation takes place in the Red Sea, not the strait, just saying
US aircraft carriers were a liability the moment the nuclear weapon was invented. The only pure-military target that can justify a nuclear strike is a carrier, and a carrier is such a weapon that it might legitimately not trigger MAD protocols.
