      Iran is a whole ass country, the Houthis are a rebel faction, for lack of a better term. I think this whole situation is kinda different… Matter of opinion I guess…

        They’re a rebel faction that controls most of the country, including the capital. It’s different, but they’re a lot closer to a government than something like Hezbollah.

        Houthis are the de facto government of Yemen which is important because the US is claiming the right to self defence which is only available between states.under international law. That’s why for example Israel’s argument of self defence is nonsense because Gaza is not a separate country.

      And? Trump assassinated a senior government official with zero authorization or provocation. This is clearly not the same thing.

        Let’s be clear: trump being a pile of shit doesn’t give biden license to be almost as shitty.

          Sure. But these are not the same actions. Defending shipping interests has been a legitimate cause for military force ever since humanity invented shipping.

      But don’t you get it?!

      Biden’s last name isnt trump, and he has a D by his name. Obviously expecting any other diffences mean you hate America…

        The Democrats (except for Biden) aren’t being hypocritical here. They objected to both Trump and Biden.
