houthis are at war with saudi arabia for better part of last decade, and more broadly for almost three decades. it's a part of proxy iran-saudi conflict
They are attacking because of Israel’s genocidal treatment of 2 million people in Gaza
they are attacking because iran told them so. houthis, like hezbollah, are iranian proxies
Russia tried to shoot down a RAF jet last year
and turks shot down a russian jet couple of years ago, and ultimately also nothing happened
Why didn’t they do an emergency recall to put the decision before Congress and HoC? They are playing with fire and they know it.
bs. airstrikes are easy and low-risk, the real, permanent solution to this problem would be boots on the ground and/or high intensity airstrikes on iranian weapons manufacturers. neither are gonna happen, but airstrikes provide that "something is being done" vibe
