Abstaining from voting is a cuckposition, especially when knowing full well a UNSC Resolution is about to be hammered through anyway.
There is no sitting the fence when voting in the UNSC. You either block that Resolution or you don't.

I agree, I think there is a good chance, despite the large pushback, that they still go ahead with further escalation.
But the problem is when they can no longer control the people here or even dare try to draft our young men to fight their war. They must thread the needle of both defeating a very powerful adversary AND also do so with minimum expense. I don't think they can pull this off however.
Yeah, maybe spending $10 trillion on forever wars might also have something to do with the current economic condition of the average American.
Russia and China are currently part of imposing a sanctions regime and travel ban on Ansarallah/Sana'a government through UNSC Resolution 2216. Russia and China also refuse to recognize Ansarallah as Yemen's legitimate authority, and instead consider the Aden based Rashid al Alimi to be Yemen's President - a man Ansarallah considers its arch enemy.
Yemen’s Rashad Al-Alimi Praises Russia’s Support for Legitimacy at UN
On September 27, 2024, Rashad Al-Alimi, President of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, commended the “distinguished” relationship with Russi

Technically Yemen could be used as a pressure point to pin the US down. Both China and Russia are pragmatic enough to throw their weight covertly behind a band of suicidal international pariahs who could be disposed or traded off as a bargaining chip down the line. Wouldn't be the first time that happens. Your correct in your assessment that Ansarallah could sit out the bombing campaign and play the long game - and this is also why a renewed ground offensive from the Saudi sponsored Aden Government, UAE sponsored Southern Transitional Council, al Qaida and the Salah loyalists/ Islah ikwhanis are a possibility.
However, and here is where the inconsistencies in your thinking show and where you need to elaborate, explain how the Moscow-Beijing tandem would be pulling this off and then relate your explanation to the events in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza in the past 18 months, and the position of about every regional power that actually matters on the Houthus and their Red Sea blockade.
Ansarallah is on bad terms with the entire region. Shooting terms even. Hated by everyone. The Saudis and Emiratis play an important role in especially China's energy security and long term ME strategy. How will they react to bolstering Ansarallah? Port Sudan is supposed to house a future Russian naval base, how is that going to work? The Houthis have made Egypt go semi-broke. How are you going to placate the Egyptians?
And then there is of course Israel. China and especially Russia have on literally every single occasion in the last 20 years prioritized Israel over its regional competitors. China due to pragmatism and its non interference principle, Russia because of its philo-Semitic and Zionist leadership. China and Russia prioritized Israel over Gaza, they prioritized Israel over the Palestinian Authority, they prioritized Israel over Hezbollah, they prioritized Israel over Assad. And will prioritize Israel over Ansarallah and Iran. It's that simple.
Ansarallah stands alone. Not even the Iranians are going to back them up beyond free and cheap rhetorics. Reformist Clique dropping Hamas, Hezbollah and Assad like a hot potato is testimony to that.
do not insult
Brainlet comment, demise of the US middle class is rooted in the browning of America, devalueing of the US dollar and rise of self-destructive ideologies in society.
Which is also why the patterns visible in America can be extrapolated to about every other country of considerable standing to begin with - including the ones without a serious military let alone Empire building halfway across the globe.
This chud again. Just re-rolls out the entire Russian Gaza playbook aka Operation Sionistkiye Gosudarstva (SIG) Soviet era active measure as if nobody would ever notice.
I feel bad for the Houthis. After Hezb tapped out they are literally the only ones doing something and now are getting played and their shine stolen just so that the Chekaist potato regime halfway across the globe can look good for once. By redoing the (failed) Russian mediacircus on Gaza Lavrov is trying to get the Muslim world to (re-)consider Russia as a legitimate alternative- portraying it as a fairer and more just than the US. Obviously the Kremlin hardly ever mentions Israel let alone Jews.
It's all empty grandstanding. Russian actions down the line since October 7? Almost doubling the Russian-Israeli trade turnover since 2022, deepening out intel sharing, deepening out collaboration in especially the tech sector, increase of imported oil through the Azerbaijan-Turkey pipeline, lending Israel a free hand in Syria, sabotaging Iranian weapon acquisitions, etc.
Lavrov's statement is instant digestible feelgood e-goyslop for goldfish brains. Not worth the paper it is written on.
Stick with covering events in Congo or Yemen, because you don't seem to have a grasp of basic economics.
The US economic decline is primarily due to the parasitic nature of late-stage financial capitalism, outsourcing, de-industrialization, and over-financialization, whether it is in chocolate cities like Detroit or in white communities like Sidney, Nebraska, vulture capitalism is everywhere:
Trump- Putin meeting bearing fruit already. LAN vindicated yet again.
Changing tune and goalposts per usual. First it was the 'muh forever wars' that caused the US' relative decline, and when rebuked on that due to socio-economic tendencies being even worse in places like Canada despite the latter not having the same expenditures when it comes to military adventures abroad, it's suddenly back to colorblind virtuesignalling on economically Marxist talking points a la crook EMJ.
Your use of language is as shallow as an LLM. You just make these propaganda brochure catchphrases but there's no understanding behind it. Hilarious that you claim that someone who majored in an economics related subject 'doesn't have an understanding' just because that someone trashes you in every debate you choose to engage in.
Prior to the Trudeau years, the middle class in Canada was a bit better off than in the US, due to lower education and healthcare costs, and lower crime levels. Canada could afford these in good part because its military spending was more limited. 1.4% of its GDP vs 4% in the US.
The relatively recent implementation in Canada of aggressive globalist-liberal policies like carbon taxes, self-imposed oil production caps, the scuttling of energy projects (transcanadian pipelines, LNG terminals for exports to Asia and Europe) is what has severely hindered the Canadian economy the last decade, not just in the energy sector but also downstream in agriculture, steel, aluminum, cement, paper and construction industries as well. That and anti-small business regulations, and wild money printing are what hindered the Canadian economy. Those are the deeds of white liberal politicians like these two critters below. Mass immigration policies compounded symptoms like the housing crisis, lower wages at the bottom, and are going to lead to greater social dislocation down the line, but they are not the main driver in the current Canadian economic decline, at least not yet.
Also, Japan blows your theory of economic decline due to "browning" or destructive ideology. It is due to the Plaza Accord and Japan being submissive to global banking.
It's not because you are shouting and stringing insults about how you're winning a debate that you're actually winning.
If you were a bit less maniacal and more secure, you wouldn't need to resort to stunts like these and you might have been able to have a fairly normal debate in a proper tone.

Air strikes against the Houthis continue.
Houthi drones shot down over the Red Sea.
Allegedly another Reaper drone down over Yemen.

Looks like our wasted tax money didn't deter the Houthi's. Maybe it is time to tell Israel they cannot commit genocide.
This would be a huge escalation.
Possible force build-up in the Middle East.
Truman CSG mission extended.
Vinson CSG redeployed from the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East.
Nimitz CSG departs US west coast. Most likely to replace Vinson in Asia, but could sail to the Middle East.
Ford CSG is completing training off the US east coast. Most likely will depart soon to replace Truman.
All 4 carriers is the Middle East ? Unlikely but possible.

Breaking carrier news
- Vinson CSG moving to the Middle East from WESTPAC
- Truman CSG deployment extended; conducting continuous strike operations against the Houthi
- Nimitz departed Bremerton for its final deployment
USNI reports it will take 2-3 weeks for Vinson to reach CENTCOM, which will overlap with Truman’s expected 1-month extension - positioning 2x carrier strike groups in theater. Last August, the U.S. also had 2x aircraft carriers in the Middle East, with Lincoln & Roosevelt overlapping for ~3 weeks.
Nimitz, which has been working up off the west coast, left Friday on its 22nd and final deployment. Ford began COMPTUEX on 14 March and will deploy after completion.
Dual carrier coverage in CENTCOM confirmed. Whether a 3rd arrives depends on: 1) how long Ford takes to complete training, 2) where Nimitz ends up, and 3) length of Truman and Vinson deployment extensions.
A war with Yemen will be very unpopular among young men in the USA. They better hope they don't need a draft if they get drug into something bigger than they are expecting.
Significant US build up in the Indian Ocean. B2 bombers cannot take off from aircraft carriers, from Diego Garcia both Yemen and Iran are within striking distance.
Target list in Yemen has been acquisited, Ansarallah has not budged. Also, DJTs Iran ultimatum will expire on May 1.
NOTAM over Diego Garcia until May 1.

After heavy bombardment and Trump saying the Houthi's were begging for peace, the Houthi's have a response.
