This Houthi lot

[zzzzz]

Should we get stuck in?

AKA Iran.

No financial incentives so we'll wait and see what the US of A does then faithfully follow.

 

[borolad259]

Our Navy already have got stuck in. And I don't think they'll wait for the USA if protecting British shipping is at stake.

The houthi see the Western world as one , and the true Muslim world ( as they see it ) also as one. ( despite the sunnis and shi ites)
Try to see a world without borders and just religions . They view Jews as part of the Christian (western sphere) great Satan and so all western shipping is fair game.
All medieval religious ignorance and bigotry twisted to suit what is a political aim.
Some hard global decisions may need to be taken go deal with these people and the nut jobs in the western alliances.

Bad and good everywhere. Terrorists are terrorists.
Need to be careful we don’t draw up the usual battle lines. They haven’t served us well

West is good East is bad?

Yes they will. Vassal is as vassal does.

There's a joke about the difference between Sunni and Shia.
A moustache was involved I think.

Thank dog Christians have never been at each others throats.

There’s money involved ,so we’ll be in “ Like Flint”

 

[ThePrisoner]

Looks like our imperial overlord has decided to drag UK into another of its wars.

Maybe Sunak thinks a war will get him a few percentage points at the polls.

 

[dribble]

It’s the new Falklands

Flynn or Flint?

 

[WeeGord]

Cameron might get his war at long last!

 

[ThePrisoner]

The US is calling it 'Operation Prosperity'.

Of course they are.

 

[JonnyHistory]

Things are always more complicated than they seem and any conflict in the Middle East never goes well, for any side!
We should not be so swift to go all Team America on them.

 

[SCG]

They’ve been involved in a War against the Saudi Arabia-backed Yemeni Government for a while, which is going to be tricky for those picking a side.

I half expected Jurgen Klopp to praise the Houthis in one of his news conferences.

 

[JackG]

Britain has an inglorious history in Yemen. I fear we're about to add to this.

Of course they are.

Task force 'fuzzy bunnies' with carrier 'rubber ducky' is already waiting for cuddle time.
