Are the attacks on the Houthis working? Biden answers honestly. (x.com)

I was under the impression that Biden would try to give more charismatic responses to tough questions, y’know, considering that he’s running for reelection against Trump. I’m disgusted that he knows it isn’t doing anything to discourage them but will do it anyway. Genocidal Joe is more a title of his that he proudly wears rather than a criticism from the left on his foreign policy. I’m sure he doesn’t care. In fact I’m positive. He was at a church where protesters voiced their support for ceasefire in Gaza and he just shrugged them off and had them removed by police. Tbh, I was surprised that his handlers didn’t have that question about Ansr Allah prepped days ago already and had Joe trained on what to say. I may eat my words later but Joey stands no chance in this election. Not saying it will be the blowout of the century or anything. Hell he may even win popular vote, but I really doubt he can win the presidency at this point. Things can always change, but not many people can stand this level of honest true incompetency.

They did this to make shipping safer

They escalated a conflict to make shipping safe

How the fuck is US ships bombing stuff in Yemen and turning the red sea into an active war zone supposed to make shipping companies want to use the Suez canal??

It didn't even make sense from their stated goals.

Indiscriminated bombing has been their policy for decades. Bomb yemenis until either they are all dead or until the unrest causes a civil war.

The thought process is that they would destroy the Houthis ability to launch these attacks, so the red sea crossing would be safe again. I don't know how plausible that is, but it does make sense to me.

except there's no possible way they can take them all out

it's more a show of resolve and trying to save face with the rest of the westoids and I'm pretty sure they're all aware of it
