The objective is to keep the balance of power in the region equal to prevent war.
Listen to Rand.
“The people of Yemen are not starving, their being starved”.
The Yemenis are not good guys.
Neither are the Saudis
If the Saudis don’t fight there they will be fighting in their capital.
War sucks. You end it by surrendering or winning.
The Saudis are very bad at fighting or this would have ended years ago. It is Iran that keeps it going. That and Saudi incompetence.
Stopping the support means Iran wins. That is bad for everyone.
The objective is to keep the balance of power in the region equal to prevent war.

Iran with huge missile stocks vs Saudis with what ever the US sells them. Either us or the Russians will sell the Saudis what they nee. Paul proves he is in the Mad Mullahs’ pockets.
Dammit. Stop giving arms to Darth Vader and the empire until they stop being mean to the Klingons! How bout this. Nuke em both and steal their oil!
I live in the woods. My female cat I could let go out anytime. She never got into trouble. If trouble was around, I’d find her up a tree or on the roof. She died of old age at twenty-two. Several months prior and not realizing she was blind, I let her out as usual. She almost always went down the porch steps and sat under the truck which was on sand. She went out and sat under the truck. Several hours later, I let her back in. Same as usual. No drama. Then, I noticed the sand around the truck. A bear had tried to dig her from all four sides, clawing into the sand and reaching deeply inside. She’d played what I called the “under-the-truck-game” which I never once won. I’d look under the truck, and she’d be on the other side, apparently not paying attention. I’d go to that spot and look under the truck, and she’d be doing the same on the other side. Damn! She was cool.
My “foundling” male cat, however, I can’t let outside in less than full sunlight or he’ll find it necessary to prove to some animal that he can take a bite/scratch/clawing/and bruising like a REAL MAN, generally costing me about $500. I no longer let him out at night, which he accepts. I do, however, get frequent, “it’s daylight” notifications which are somewhat premature. But now he has a dog-screened porch to hang out in when he absolutely, positively MUST go outside and hiss at something.
