Why is the US always attacking the small guys?

The U.S. launched strikes Saturday in Yemen as President Trump said the U.S. would use "overwhelming lethal force" until Houthis cease shipping attacks.

We are always using overwhelming lethal force against foreign enemies. Pounding ants crawling on the floor with a sledge hammer is the story of our life as a world policeman and superpower.

The ants strikes back. Houthis responded to Trump's airstrikes with ballistic missile attacks. They launched an attack comprising 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with drones, targeting the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea on Sunday.

Will Trump invade Yemen the way Bush invaded Iraq?

Because these days U.S don't do war where their high-tech doesn't work. Middle eastern are mostly open field where their fancy electronic war apparatus works the best. With these, they can bomb without being bombed. Kill without being killed.

That's why the bloodiest U.S affair are always in the middle east.

@doong Actually, (and maybe you would have known this had your inferior blue state public schools gotten most of their history books from THE VIEW) the Middle East has been a hotspot in the world for CENTURIES. Long before oil was discovered to be the fuel of civilization and the sand crabs discovered they were sitting on millions of barrels of oil, the Middle East was the center of east west trade, where there were limited shipping routes. All the local powers looked at the middle east as a strategic goal.

President Trump was (a) defending the ships in the US navy with that strike on the drones, and (b) DEFENDING THE JEWS IN ISRAEL, YOU FUCKING NAZI.
