Yemen: Why did US and UK carry out strikes on Houthis? – BBC News


US and UK naval forces in the Red Sea have launched air strikes against Houthi targets across Yemen.

Western forces took action after commercial vessels were attacked by the Houthis – a political and military group who control a large part of the country.

  1. Some years ago the arms budget was about to go down in flames the defence department hit out stating that it had to stay armed to prevent attacks on the Uk yet no one attacks the Uk or the USA until they start attacking other nations the same applies to a number of other nations “ you can not have an increased budget said the then cabinet if there’s no demand “ so they send envoys over to the Middle East to supply anger ammunition & hate my thoughts are ….. that all the Yemen Iraqi Israeli Saudi Iran Bahrain Palestinian Lebanon Kuwait Jordan & Oman should understand that the rest of the world leaders do not want you to be a combined state you all know this its in your own interest to be neutral to each other no matter your beliefs no matter your argument no matter your religion no matter your past stop being every others state of play

  2. Sunak supports a 2 month long genocide of Arabs, then claims the disruption of 30% of world trade (effecting his Brexit btw) a few 100km away is not related and nothing to do with him. General election coming to the UK where people are now suffering from scurvy and malnutrition. We'll see whether the people support his cynical exploits and disinformation.

  3. How does the US/West get the power to give any group or country a terrorist designation at will. Can those counties/groups give the same terrorist designation to the groups/rebels armed by the USA in their countries as well. Therein lies the power of the petrodollar, all the more reasons why the world needs a new global currency, one that can't be a politicized or militarized stranglehold on sovereign nations.

  4. We did this because our leaders fail to realise the Houties have just endured 25 000 bombing attacks using the same technology and all it did was make them smarter and stronger. They have watched the west utterly fail in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it safe to assume the Houthi leadership regard our leadership as more than a little mentally challenged, and are very confident of their inevitable victory. Sometimes facts suck…

  5. Bad enough with the peoples mandate but without the election vote it’s a huge risk. But it’s recent history the tories would do that to us wouldn’t they ? If we don’t get hammered ok but if we do?

  6. Day 102: 24,000+ Palestinians killed. Israelis commit genocide using American weapons.

    Moses took 40 years to travel to the country next door and today still NO sense of direction.

    America killed Muslims in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen.

  7. these to warlike nations have been involved in over a dozen wars in the last 25 years they have no write to be in yemenis waters and will lose just like every other war they have started if these two savages stopped supplying arms to lsrael and put sanctions on it for genocide and killing of children then yemen would not have stopped ships in the red sea but see how these two barbaric nations lie.yemen has the write to defend it self

  8. well the UK minister has his wife in companies nominated to explote gaz and mineral in Gaza territory, she has double nationality and as indian she feel free to do it and his husband support for this hiding interest that cost the life of thousand children, The arabs will never accept this genocide and Israel is not in security now, in any country the jews feel in danger all because the Israel gouvernment set plans to get GAZA at anyprice but they did not though that this ways they create a terrorist plants because any arab will be against them, this is pity that the world watch without acting; they did with Ukrania but with Israel the money led them!!
