Hey Israelis, if you don't want wars to escalate, don't start wars.

    israel started it. How can they "accuse" anyone of entering the conflict. Stupid criminal posers.

    The Houthis are a large group controlling a big area of Yemen, but not the official government of Yemen. So if the Houthis enter a conflict, that’s not the same as the government of Yemen doing so. But Israel is trying to equate the two. They’re basically saying “Yemeni government, we hold you responsible, we think the Houthis are your proxy.”

    So this accusation is not so much about the mere act of entering the conflict, itself, and more about WHO has actually entered it.

    A comparison might be if Hezbollah carries out an attack, that’s not necessarily the recognized Lebanese government doing it. But Israel will blame them anyway, if for not other reason than to accuse them of not doing enough to stop it. This comparison is quite apt because both Hezbollah and the Houthis are well aligned with and funded by Iran.

    They're not the de jure government, that is, the one with international recognition, but they are essentially the de-facto government. They control the capital, and the most populous half of the Country.

    Or of Hamas attacks Israel, then Israel ahsnjistbartack d Israel. Obviously, this doesn't apply to any countries that recognise the state or Palestine. Israel does not.

    Well...

    ...this is going about as well as you'd expect from two war leaders who are qualified only to be TV show hosts.

    Vietnam didn't have a massive effect on global trade that affects every economy on earth. The longer it goes on, the more major players will want to bring it to a swifter conclusion. It won't be a multi decade slog between a handful of countries, but a Great War that drags dozens of nations into it. It's a mini World War, not a forever war like Afghanistan. It'll only turn into another Vietnam if America tries to nation build, and I think America giving up and going home with Iran in shambles is far more likely.

    i agree on your point affecting trade.

    but since the current american regime and israel ar clashing and flip flopping around regime change no prediction in that regard can be made imo

    and it will probably become a forever war in my opinion, if the us flees from the war, the strait still wont be open due to iran demanding reparations.

    so the options are, reparations for iran, or invasion and regime change

    and ground war is something that majorly changed in the last 5 years, so one could expect high casualties for the invader

    lol, no. Keeping the strait closed without the US still attacking makes no sense. They'd just receive even more hostility from the gulf states while wasting money and resources. If the US withdraws, they'll open the strait so they can focus on preparing for the next war. They'll demand reparations, but they know full well that they will never get them. Reparations aren't a serious part of the conversation, only security guarantees that the US won't immediately attack again.
