21. I see it a bit differently.

The Houthis are proxies for Iran. They have illegally been shooting at innocent shipping in the Red Sea for a time now. Those are acts of war which deserve to have a response.

I think he was appropriate. rump, however, has been itching to play with the USs military might and planned to entertain himself with bombing the sh*t out of them. And he did, although we don't really know how successful we were at it.

Meanwhile, Israel is adament that Iran has to go. They see Iran as part of the bigger problem, or THE problem. Biden wisely kept us out of a major war with Iran, but the Orange Turd doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he's eager to send us to war. Especially if it distracts the increasingly restless US natives from a domestic uprising, which is coming.

We could have controlled Iran but for tRump's failed policies. Trump is a bully, and he only knows how to punch, not diplomacy. Remember, no one has to actually like each other to step down and move in the same direction. I truly hate how Iran treats its citizens, but avoiding a nuclear fight seems best at the moment. And, Iran is friends with Russia and sells to Russia, which makes it doubly hard. I think that's why Biden was very careful, not because he was too soft.
