Sure bro.
That justified blowing up the apartment building the target's girlfriend lived in.
Because it doesn't just make more Houthis every time.
I never said the attack itself was justified. I only answered the question.
A more targeted strike was possible, and it's reprehensible that one was not chosen.
The target himself was a legal target even by the most strict interpretation of armed conflict international law.
That may be true, but there is one consistent lesson we can learn from US history.
Don't. Touch. The. Boats.
Unless you're Israel. Then you can touch whatever boat you feel like.
That is an amazing event.
Why are you responding to tragedy with a fucking meme
Because it's a great way to summarise this ridiculous situation.

Iran did something similar in the late 80's. Iran began to mine the Persian Gulf, international waters, as part of the Iran-Iraq war threatening oil shipments passing through.
An Iranian mine struck an American warship escorting an oil tanker. Prompting the Americans to bomb the fuck out of the Iranian navy. Don't want to be bombed? Don't attack American warships in international shipping lanes.
Especially with this racist and blood thirsty regime that doesn't give a fuck about silly things like "civilian casualties".
