    US and Saudis have been trying to bomb Yemen into submission for like 8 years now with nothing to show for it. I don’t see why a few more air strikes are going to change anything.

        I’m referring to US doing strikes in Yemen, this is nothing new and this strategy showed no results over past 8 years. No reason to expect anything different going forward.

          Right, you’re talking about who lasts longer? I thought you were talking about the no impact thing and was confused.

            It’s both, Yemenis have shown that they’ve been able to last for 8 years without any clear impact from the bombing strategy. The impact from Yemeni blockade is visible, we see economic costs for the west. The impact from bombing in terms of Yemen being able to pursue its policies is not clear because we don’t see their policies change or become less effective.

              So when you meant no impact you were thinking of in the way that if they can still shoot missiles that means there has been no impact?

                Right, I’m saying the strikes are not achieving a change in behavior or capability. So, there is no impact in terms of what Yemen is doing whether US carries strikes out or not.

                  I guess I thought you meant the strikes were having no impact as in genuinely zero impact
