UK-US air strikes launched against Houthis in Yemen
  • I certainly agree that this won't help the situation in the middle east and will probably inflame already tense relations.

    That being said, Biden followed domestic laws to a T in this situation. The War Powers Act gives him the ability to do operations like this so long as congress was notified and consulted (they were according to CNN - Though I would like to see it stated from a better source). It would only require further congressional approval if US assets are still there carrying out these acts 60-Days after the inital notification.

    The coalition repeatedly warned the Houthi's that patience was running thin here. While this situation is horrible in its own right, I don't know what everyone expects when a group gets between multiple countries' and their money...
