Countries are evacuating their citizens from Yemen...except for the United States

Really, there is no telling.  What escapes "regular main stream media" and is not being broadcast is the fact that Iran is escalating the situation in the region.  On the ground in Yemen is not the big issue here, it's the activity of the Iranian Navy.  With that activity, it threatens the world supply of crude oil.  The Bab al-Mandab strait as well as the Strait of Hormuz are critical "choke points" when it comes to shipping crude oil from the middle east.   The U.S. Navy as well as navies of our allies routinely patrol the area.  Historically, Iranian warships do not go into the area, but in this case they are.  This presents a very volatile situation that could erupt into a major conflict.

 

Should an Iranian military vessel fire on a non-military target (oil tanker), the U.S. Navy and any allies in the area will be forced to retaliate thus committing an "act of war".  Should an Iranian war vessel "mess up" and either target or fire on a U.S. Navy vessel or an allied vessel, then again, the U.S. Navy or allies in the area are committed to respond accordingly.

 

The bottom line here is that your boy (Obama) and his administration has failed when it comes to foreign policy.  Iran really doesn't care what we, the UN or anyone else says, they are going to do whatever they want to do.
 

Yeah, the 8 previous years were so successful.

 

You'll rarely hear me praise "my boy" for much, especially regarding foreign policy, but I understand blanket statements bring warmth.

If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.
