They leveled a building to hit 1 target

They’re bombing the Houthi’s in Yemen because the Houthis have been launching Iranian missiles at ships in the Red Sea since 2023? Including the US navy (don’t touch the boats) and Israel. The houthis are currently holding hostage a number of crews of merchant ships

Because bombing the Houthis for terrorism or attacking Gulf states/western interests has been the status quo for over a decade.

people feel there is more of a chance to hold people accountable for the group chat than the bombing

The Houthis, is a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaydi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe. The group has been a central player in Yemen's civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians and using child soldiers. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The Houthis emerged as an opposition movement to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom they accused of corruption and being backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen for years

I think it's because they keep sinking commercial ships and firing missiles at Israel, no? They also shot missiles at Russian, Chinese, European, Panamanian, Japanese, Korean, and South American ships.

Why were bombing them now is because Trump's a dumbass and needs to distract everyone.

I think anyone paying attention expects the US to sacrifice their public image to keep wasting taxpayer dollars helping the Zionists commit a genocide.

The people in that group chat were hired by Russia to do as much damage as possible, so this is them doing their jobs.

It's exhausting to keep track of everything that is wrong about this.
