Read the entire article twice and never once did they mention why they think fighting Houthi pirates is illegal.

It is literally the 2 paragraphs that OP quoted in the submission.
They're not pirates, they're the de facto Yemeni government.
[removed by mod]
Is the Yemeni government bombing residential complexes, universities, and hospitals?
I wonder why
Because it suits the geopolitical goals of their main benefactor?
False, it's because there is a genocide happening in Gaza which is facilitated by the west and they would like it to stop, so they are hitting where it hurts them most
Man do I have some beans to sell you...
Not if the sales pitch is as generic as your geopolitical understanding
Nah you're right we should take what the people randomly attacking ships say at face value and ignore the potential desires of the famously peaceful Islamic republic which provides them arms and training.
Nah you’re right we should take what the people randomly attacking ships
They're not attacking Chinese and Russian ships, so not quite random I would say.
potential desires of the famously peaceful Islamic republic which provides them arms and training.
Noone is saying they're not getting support.
Nah you're right we should take what the west and Israel are saying at face value and believe that these attacks are totally random. We definitely should bomb them in order to make them stop, instead of considering that they might be right in demanding a stop of the genocide in Gaza.
If they're as good as your Genocide sales pitch you can keep em
"Maybe we shouldn't take what these people attacking ships at random say at face value" really comes out in your mind as "Lets support the genocide"?
civilians and their ships
They stopped being "civilians" the moment they started supplying a genocide.
You have your head up your ass. Editing your comment doesn't change that.
1st, I don't think it takes a person to know that what Israel's mitliary is doing in Gaza that the U.S supports, quacks like a humanitarian crisis akin to genocide, regardless of whether you agree or not. The article indicates that
It doesn't take facts to know that these are bad optics, mon liberal ami...
2nd, lemme tell you this... if the Saudis dealt with Yemenis and couldn't bomb them out of existence and cause famine, why do you think an overstretched U.S army can deal with them?
Can't they finish their Ukraines and Israels before Yemen?
I'm not sure if you're aware, but the U.S. military is so formidable, it can fight three simultaneous full-blown Congressionally declared wars across the globe using only its carrier strike groups, and not even put a dent on its economy.
I don't know what could happen if they involved their Army or Air Force in a combined arms scenario.
So to answer your question, dismally depressing the U.S. can indeed not need to finish its Ukraine and Israel and still fight everywhere because it's not even formally declared war in either region with any faction and not even utilising a small fraction of its military might, economy or brainpower.
Mfs just saw the Taliban beat the US military in Afghanistan and they still believe they can win shit.
