    We should’ve helped Saudi get the job done during their war. Blockade the ports and cut off arms coming in from Iran.

    Yes, after all what is a peninsular famine among friends.

    Considering that the houthi blockade is blocking UN food aid from going to multiple countries, I say let them starve. Their blockade is causing many others to starve, so if ending their blockade requires starving them, so be it.

    Ah yes, the classic neoliberal argument tactic: lying

      It really must be so damn easy. Feeling uncomfortable about your brutal violent treatment of others? That’s ok, because you can just say they’re doing something worse, or that slaughtering them is helping them somehow. You never need to improve or be a better person, you can just say that everyone else is worse than you so you’re actually the best person, without even needing to get off the couch!

    The funniest thing is that there isn’t a lot more that America could have done to support the Saudi genocide in Yemen. Like we did everything up to invading and occupying the whole country with American troops

    So I’ve been playing a lot of Helldivers 2. Awesome game, and one of the key mechanics is stratagems - you type ina little code on d-pad, then throw out a ball with a signal light for air/orbital support. A section of these are “eagle” strikes, where a plan circling in support flies in and drops an attack super quickly. The most satisfying of these is the simple airstrike: type the code, throw the ball, and three seconds later a barrage of heavy bombs drops on the target.

    Now, when I see genocidal maniacs, I think to myself, “an eagle airstrike would solve this person in seconds flat”.

      Unfortunately, when not facing peer armies, the burger legion is the one who has easy access to air strikes.
