THE United States military is unarguably the most powerful and well-armed fighting force in the world. Yemen’s Houthis are generally described as a “faction” and on January 17 were classified by the US government as a “specially designated global terrorist” group.
Britain and the US are bombing alleged Houthi military installations in Yemen in an effort to deter the Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis have vowed to continue the maritime assaults until Israel ends its siege of Gaza.
But the bombings and the terrorist classification have changed virtually nothing. President Biden even admitted two weeks ago that the air strikes have not served as a deterrent.
