I mean you're dad is right, but for all the wrong reasons. I'm not surprised the Houthis got bombed either. I've been predicting that it would happen for months now. Not because the Houthis deserved to get bombed for "attacking with violence" or anything like that, but because it's perfectly in character for the evil US empire to bomb first and ask questions later, if at all. Bombing the Middle East is the bread and butter of US foreign policy in the 21st century. Doing so to stop a blockade against Israel, so Israel can keep carrying out genocide against the Palestinians instead of telling Israel to stand down, is exactly what I would have predicted the USA and NATO to do.
