So fail at another trillion dollar forever war?

  Maybe? I'm just saying: Houthi Yemen isn't where you apply pressure when/if/as this reaches the point where pressure needs to be applied. I'm not predicting outcomes.

    War with Iran would be apocalyptic to proportions hard to imagine. For one, they could destroy oil infrastructure, and that would be far more destructive to world economies than the current blockading of the strait. That would also mean the end of the petrodollar, a unique basis of American power.

      It feels like you're trying to debate me about whether we should go to war with Iran. I'm not advocating or making predictions; I'm simply saying that a conventional framing for the the current conflict is that the Houthis are, whether they've gone "off script" or not, effectively an arm of the IRGC.
