Yemen's 'Houthi Threat' Justifies Another War, Apparently
So, Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, the Houthis' chief of staff, is dead, and Israel immediately takes the credit. This 'precision strike,' as it will no doubt be hailed, effectively removes a key figure just as Washington scrambles to 'justify' its ever-expanding military presence in the Red Sea. Remember when the US designated the Houthis a foreign terrorist organization, despite years of
Saudi-led bombing aided by US weapons? Funny how 'threats to shipping' always seem to coincide with renewed calls for regional intervention, rarely with inconvenient facts about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. One might wonder if this 'surgical strike' isn't simply another escalation designed to ensure Washington can keep sending warships—and weapons—to a region that increasingly resembles a
powder keg ready to blow. How many 'military leaders' need to be eliminated before the 'threat' is subdued, or simply redefined to suit the next foreign policy objective?
