The US has been bombing Yemen using two aircraft carriers in the region and B-2 bombers stationed at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The Pentagon has shared virtually no details about its war, which has not been authorized by Congress, but it's likely the bombing campaign has already cost billions in just over one month.

And yet, the Houthis are still firing missiles and attacking the US fleet. The US still doesn't understand the limits of its military power, and all they're doing is showing the world that weakness.

The US and Saudis have been trying to bomb Yemen into submission for like a decade now. It should be obvious that it's not going to happen, and yet we see more of the same.

I hope the Houthis continue until Palestine is liberated from its zionist occupiers.
