The United States and Britain struck at least 30 Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday in a second wave of assaults meant to further disable Iran-backed groups that have relentlessly attacked US and international interests in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war, American officials told the Associated Press.
Ships and fighter jets launched the latest strikes against the Houthis. The strikes follow an air assault in Iraq and Syria on Friday that targeted other Iran-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for the drone strike that killed three US troops – William Jerome Rivers, Kennedy Ladon Sanders and Breonna Alexsondria Moffett – in Jordan last weekend.
US defense secretary Lloyd Austin said the military action “sends a clear message to the Houthis that they will continue to bear further consequences if they do not end their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels”.
You obviously haven’t read my previous replies because I have said it is all murder.
Pro world peace then? Wow, very enlightened and useful opinion. While we all hold our breath waiting for that to happen, the murders will continue, and the belligerents and victims have different degrees of power and culpability.
What a useful reply.
As useful as your opinion.
Sympathizing with human suffering and being against violence, terrible opinion.
It’s not bad, it’s just useless in this context. Honestly, worse than useless. If you’re just saying “all this killing is bad”, then it seems an awful lot like ‘both-sidesing’. Like no shit it’s bad, but it isn’t going to stop until we address the root causes. If you put for example, the Yemenis and the US on equal standing for the problems in the region, you are perpetuating the roots of this violence.
Sure, but I haven’t done that. You seem to be doing some projecting.
Maybe so. Sorry.
