Surprise! In Yemen, the Houthis and their allies are starting to fire missiles at Salafi Arabia and the US navy, the countries that have bombarded Yemen for no valid reason.
It was wrong from the outset for Salafi Arabia and the US to intervene in Yemen. The civil war in Yemen would have ended soon if not for that external intervention. The Houthis, who were winning, were no enemy of the US at that time.
Geopolitical rivalry with Iran was not and is not a valid justification for war.
As for human rights, Iran regularly violates them, but Salafi Arabia is far worse.
The longer this intervention continues, the more suffering it will cause in Yemen, and the more it will tend to spread. The US should end this intervention as soon as possible, to stop doing any more harm.
The US and Russia have both helped to trash the Geneva conventions. Repeated violations have endangered the agreement that hospitals, medics and wounded people should not be targets in war. We must reestablish this.
