And do you intend to deal with the fallout of their new plan the same way, creating more new plans from them? Or is there an end goal?
And is that working? It sounds like their old plan is still running.
The Houthis are not new at this. They have been the target of literally thousands of airstrikes by Saudi Arabia, but have continued to operate.
The US is not new at this either. It has decades of experience loosing to much less technically capable forces fighting on their home turf. If history is anything to go by, this is simply not a fight the US military (or any modern military for that matter) is capable of winning.
They've apparently been gaining ground since the coup but I don't think that's the case as of the past couple of weeks. Either way anything they've won has been through violence and intimidation and not the consent of the people. The people voted and rejected Houthis bullshit twice, elections in which many Houthis refused to participate.
Typical blood thirsty, racist and uneducated American thinking. Color me surprised.
What a stupid and incorrect response.
A self referential comment?
I sure hope somebody forces Americans to crawl back into their hole one day.
