Sorry...you're in the wrong here. Houthi rebels have been attacking major shipping lanes, disrupting international commerce and driving up the price of essential goods. These are pirates and we are eliminating their ability to commit piracy.

They may be but it’s one thing to blow them out of the water when they attack and quite another thing to bomb them in another sovereign country.

Now, some countries do that…Israel…Russia…us.

While I'm not opposed to bombing assholes, they're primarily driving up the costs of essential goods for Europe and Asia. I'd prefer to see the European and Asian militaries doing the lion's share of the bombing.

These are Bush era level talking points to justify unnecessary military action. Our airstrikes are for the purpose of neutralizing the Houthis because they’ve been taking action against Israel. They’re much better equipped and funded than Hamas, and being 1800 miles away puts them in a unique position to cause problems for Israel

The United States is a nuclear armed piracy.

It effects Europe far more than it does us.

How about Britain and it's pals France, Germany, Italy, etc handle this?

For some reason that never crosses anyone's mind.
