      Yeah, or the US just invades Yemen with global support, triggering the regional crisis Iran wanted.

      None of the regional powers actually care about Palestine outside of using it as a convenient political excuse.

        The US will lose to the Houthis faster than they did to the Taliban. The Houthis are far better soldiers than the Taliban an have already been dodging US made bombs for a decade.

        But hey, maybe it’ll stabilize Red Sea trade long enough for the Zionists to complete their genocide.

          There won’t be any goal to police Yemen afterward, which is where the US “lost” (and I’m using that word loosely).

            What’s so loose about surrendering Afghanistan back to the Taliban?

            So what will the goal be in Yemen theb? Just bomb them enough that they can’t threaten shipping? The Saudi’s bombed them for almost a decade. Or are we gonna put “boots on the ground” and occupy Yemen until Israel is done with its genocide? I dont think thats going to work well. Maybe we’ll sponsor the Islamic State to do it for us?

        Maybe the Houthi’s just take their slogan literally and have their own motivations? Everyone’s got to be a puppet though. Is Israel doing a genocide because the US told them to?
