Some Republicans, meanwhile, couched their praise of the strikes in broader criticism of the administration's foreign policy actions.

    So Israel is going to colonize Gaza, and the US is going to take Yemen?

    What could possibly go wrong?

      NOBODY wants Yemen. Don’t sweat it. Their only natural resource is civil war. Mostly, we just are looking to destroy Iran’s proxy forces.

      Also, we’ve had operations there periodically through multiple previous administations. The Saudis own our government officials and presidents.

      Not to mention, all the weapons and missiles, and planes the Saudis use are just provided by the US politicians they own.

        Just keep in mind, war goals change. When we went into Iraq, we were “destroying WMDs” and “responding to 9/11”, and by the time we came out, we were instead “building democracy”. Violence often causes more violence, even if well-intentioned.
