Edited. by Gevorg Mirzayan [REGNUM] On the night of January 11-12, an international coalition consisting of the United States and Great Britain, with the support of Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands, attacked Yemen. The Americans and their allies launched more than a hundred cruise missile attacks on bases and other targets of the North Yemeni Ansar Allah movement (more often called the Houthis). President Joe Biden said the strikes were completely legitimate and were, in fact, self-defense. They were “a direct response to the unprecedented Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, including the first-ever use of anti-ship ballistic missiles,” Biden said. |

| #9 Protecting commercial shipping on the high seas is one of main things the US Navy should be doing. If Biden really understood this he would bomb the crap out of Yemen and tell anyone who doesn't like it to go to hell. |

| #7 Re #4 - I suspect most people were pro-Ukraine after Russia invaded if only because they feared Russia trying to rebuild their Soviet Empire. The continuing story of malfeasance, theft of aid and general corruption is likely the primary cause of disenchantment. Resisting Russian encroachment was and is a laudable goal... too bad the Uke government (and our own kleptocracy) was such a weak reed to rely on. |

| #6 Some day we might get a leader who understands there is no 'kinder and gentler' war that leads to victory. That may be when they start a civil war at home. Then all the concerns about appearance and civility will vanish. |

| #5 "The Yemenis are a warlike and religious people who have been at war for many years." Yemen has a per capita income of less than $800 per annum. In fact, Yemenis are among the poorest (and moronic khat-sucking) people on earth. |
