The Biden administration tried to prevent the war from expanding.
At every point in the development of this conflict, his administration has enable Israel to escalate and expand its military attacks upon countries within the region.
Don’t bomb boats then.

looks at Israel wiping Gazians off the map and recent bombings of Yemen
So how’s that working out for ya? I was in DC a few weeks ago and I haven’t seen any of them there.
The thing is, some people rather die on principle than licking the boots of bullies. I guess that something you will never understand so it is okay.
Sounds like they’ll be left in true dustbin of history.
I do not know if this is true for sure, but the news reported that Israel wanted to do preemptive military strike against Hezbollah, and did not, because of US presser. Hezbollah itself did not involve (fully) into war with Israel also at least partly because of US carrier group being nearby. I would say, sir, that your statement is false.
Why didn’t the Houthis simply not fuck around to only find out?
A paradox of the universe; how does one find out, if they have not first fucked around?
It seems leveling every military installation in the country would solve the shipping problem quite nicely.,
I know Houthis have their motivations and shit is complicated but when you mess with civilian ships you mess with the economy. The US doesn’t like that. When you mess with US civilian ships they really don’t like that. About the only thing worse is attacking the US Navy directly.
I guess my point is firing at US related anything in a shipping lane has got to be one the fastest ways to get explosives delivered to your location.
Yep.
Messing with shipping is an act of war, plain and simple. The US had no choice but to respond. What are they supposed to do? Allow people to take pot shots? That sets a very bad precedent.
This being said, the Saudis have been bombing Yemen for almost a decade. The US really isn’t going to achieve anything significant with a limited amount of bombings. And they obviously know that. This is simply a proportional and primarily symbolic response, mainly meant to warn others that there’s a cost to fucking with the US.
