    They should have taken it upon themselves to overthrow the houthis like 20 years ago already. The houthis holding the Suez hostage for more than a year economically hurts multiple billions of people. The damage they are feeling is a small fraction of the damage they have done to the rest of the world. It’s just not easy to show a representation of a small % of damage to the entire global economy like you can show a viral video clip of a bomb landing.

      If “economic hurt” justifies a bombing campaign, then imagine what else would be justified. America economically devastated Iraq, so it’s only fair that the Iraqi airforce comes over and drops a few hundred tons of bombs on us.

      By your logic, Iraqi bombs should be dropping on your house and killing your family. And following your insane logic, it would be your fault that your family is dead, because you should have taken it upon yourself to overthrow the Republican Party regime.
