[–] guacupado@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) There won't be any goal to police Yemen afterward, which is where the US "lost" (and I'm using that word loosely). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sudo@programming.dev -2 points 2 years ago What's so loose about surrendering Afghanistan back to the Taliban? So what will the goal be in Yemen theb? Just bomb them enough that they can't threaten shipping? The Saudi's bombed them for almost a decade. Or are we gonna put "boots on the ground" and occupy Yemen until Israel is done with its genocide? I dont think thats going to work well. Maybe we'll sponsor the Islamic State to do it for us? permalink fedilink source parent
