Again my point was that I would want any opposition party in the USA to have enough awareness of global politics to know The Houthi Militia will not get US support

And again, there's a whole lot of room between giving the Houthis US support and bombing every civilian who happens to be in close proximity to them.

The Houthi are not making a blockade. They are murdering sailors on boats and claiming solidarity with Palestine.

Which is worse, violently resisting a genocide or enacting one? I don't think the Houthis should be murdering sailors, but even though they are overzealous in this instance they still clearly have the moral high ground, not because they are particularly moral but because the bar has been set so low.
