Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The Biden administration tried to prevent the war from expanding.

At every point in the development of this conflict, his administration has enable Israel to escalate and expand its military attacks upon countries within the region.

I do not know if this is true for sure, but the news reported that Israel wanted to do preemptive military strike against Hezbollah, and did not, because of US presser. Hezbollah itself did not involve (fully) into war with Israel also at least partly because of US carrier group being nearby. I would say, sir, that your statement is false.

Why didn’t the Houthis simply not fuck around to only find out?

A paradox of the universe; how does one find out, if they have not first fucked around?
