The recent US and UK actions can be taken as examples on how to cure the symptom while making the disease worse
Here’s an idea:
The Houthi’s can just not launch missiles at ships
I'm tired of this kind of lazy rhetoric.
Why are the Houthi's committing violence?
I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.
Instead of spending 1.2 billion dollars bombing them, maybe purchasing 600 million dollars of their chief export would be a better idea.
Empower the legitimate businesses and the people in the region who aren't launching missiles instead of ravaging the region and creating a new generation of 'militant rebels'.
Instead of trusting your feelings and alluding that the Houthis launch missiles "because they're forgotten", you could list the actual reason they've given, which is enforcing a blockade against ships trading with Israel.
Given that statement, I'm sure that the Houthis will stop their strikes when Israel stops their ongoing genocide. The US could have their shipping lanes back if they stop funding and arming a genocide and force a permanent ceasefire.
