At Last, A Serious Assault on the Houthis

Even Trump can be right; Biden was wrong to show the Yemeni criminals patience

Trump 2.0’s approach to domestic reform, trade, and alliances has been reckless. The president’s tariffs disrupted global markets, his handling of Ukraine and Russia emboldened adversaries, and his treatment of allies left many questioning America’s commitment to global leadership. But in the Middle East, Donald Trump has made some right moves, understanding something Joe Biden seems to miss: peace through strength is sometimes the only viable path, and doubly so in that region.

So this is a rare chance to commend the Trump Administration, for its decision to launch (on the Ides of March, no less) significant military operations against Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels.
