You’re really claiming the U.S. military cannot stop the Houthi attacks?

The administration’s position is this is Europe’s problem [1]. It’s literally part of America retreating from that historic guarantee.

(That said, the simplest response would be to give the Saudis a weapons deal to secure the coasts. You have to blow up the ports, which will trigger a humanitarian disaster.)

Yes, absolutely we cannot. Everytime we drive by we roll the dice with hundreds of lives.

And stop reading western propaganda! It's bad for you.

The saudis have BEEN a humanitarian disaster for longer than either of us have been alive.
