In fact, one must assume that China’s threat to US warships will be even greater than what the Houthis are able to do.

Whoa, what brilliant military insight this sage geopolitical analyst possesses. China - a nation of 1.4 billion people that has unparalleled productive capacities and is nearly America’s peer in military tech - MIGHT pose a bigger threat to US warships than a (very based) small, relatively impoverished country that was until recently the victim of a decade-long genocidal war.

Saudi Arabia did commit war crimes but it wasn’t genocidal. The only intent was to support their preferred faction in Yemen and prevent Iran from having an ally on its border.

Saudi Arabia is big and diverse and so is Yemen. But the two countries’ people are more alike than different and intermarry more than they do with any other country.

I am not denying or excusing what happened. As far as I know though the ICC or ICJ never ruled it was a genocide.

I was under the impression that KSA was intentionally blocking food imports which was leading to famine conditions. I am admittedly not as familiar with the war between KSA and Ansarallah as I am with what is happening in Gaza, so I am open to correction if I’m wrong.
