Okay, and you think these bombings will lead to a regime change in Yemen? The Saudis tried that first. Low to moderate level foreign conflicts with a widely hated enemy (which the West and Israel are) do nothing but strengthen the ruling government. Hell, even a full-scale war isn’t at all guaranteed to remove the rulers from power, because it gives them legitimacy that they otherwise lack. This is why Hamas is still in power despite 18 years of blockades, three wars and a genocide.
Just because someone tried it and it didn’t work, doesn’t mean you just say “fuck it”. You try new methods and keep working at the problem until it’s solved.
Well look into the deplorable shit happening in Yemen and see if you can find some things to say.
But this bombing wasn’t about the “deplorable shit” happening in Yemen. It was about access to easier shipping routes. Thats it.
+50 dead in this attack so boats didn’t have to go around the horn of Africa.

Ah yes, there’s the nuance I’ve come to expect around here.

And what’s new about bombing Yemenis?
The US are doing them now, who the Yemeni are even more alienated from and ready to view as an enemy than the Saudis.
