The U.S. and British militaries bombed more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive retaliatory strike using warship and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, U.S. officials said. The military targets included logistical hubs, air defence systems and weapons storage and launching locations, they said.

Important to note that this is a unilateral action by US and UK and that there has been no UNSC authorization for this. This is western rules based world order reading its ugly head once again.

    I’m split between not wanting the US to cause more wars and kill more inocent civilians and the hope of what could come from them being more overstreched than ever on all the fronts they are fighting and getting rekt on all of them.

    Since numerous rocket volleys have been launched at US ships in the region, this would likely fall under the self defense exception under UN rules.
