    All indications are that they’re getting their Tech from Iran.

    So ultimatelly to stop this you have to stop that Tech coming from Iran. Also we don’t know how deep their current stockpiles are so even if the former is achieved and sustained without boots on the ground, how long does it have to be kept.

    All this has a lot broader implications than the kind of talk I’m seeing around the whole situation: I mean US and UK politicians are treating this as almost One Bombing = Mission Accomplished.

    My point is that the stated objectives aren’t likelly to be achieved by just this one military action (as it’s hardly the first time the Houthis get hit by British and American bombs so they’re hardly going to “see the error of their ways” on just this) and as of now it’s unclear how far things will have to go and if and how far will it spread.
