Yemen has been heavily bombed for many years. The US allowed Yemen to bomb from 2015 to 2024, and is now directly bombing Yemen. I will look into the history of these bombing campaigns and explain how they reflect dysfunctional and paranoid approaches to military use in US foreign policy. The bombing of Yemen can be divided into two stages: a campaign with the Houssis-led faction in the Civil War and a US/Israel campaign due to the Gaza War. In the Neeshare phase, it was military effective.
Sub-facts about Yemen
Yemen is not a small country. Although Relativley is economically small, it has a population of over 30 million and has a land area between the size of California and Texas. The country’s geography includes a wide area of the desert, but also includes vast mountainous areas and long coastlines. Yemen is an ancient country and a health city, a World Heritage city, and since the first century AD, Ben has been living continuously. Like Iraq, Yemen is a religiously divided tribal society with Shia Houtis in the more populated Northwest and Southeastern Sunni tribes. Tension before the face erupted into the civil war in 2014.
The Yemeni Civil War is a complex conflict involving multiple parties. It began when the Shiite group Houthi Rebels in northern Yemen were seized and forced to flee internationally collected President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. In 2015, he went through the military to restore Hadi’s government to a Saudi-led coalition backed by the US and other allies. The war also involves separatist movements, Muslim groups like al-Qaeda, and regional competition between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The conflict, along with wide-lectad hunger, illness and civilian casualties, led to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
The beginning of the bombing – Yemen’s civil war
The Saudi Arabian Union bombing of Yemen began on March 26, 2015. The Calleed Operation Decisive Storm operation was held responsible for the acquisition by Houthi, the capital of Health Sanaa.
The AIR campaign initially aimed at weakening Houthis and restoring Hadi’s government, but it escalated into a long-term conflict, causing widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis. The coalition of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Arab countries is associated with logistics and information support from the United States, the UK and other western allies. Behind the years of Baste, the Housis is under Northern Yemen control, including Sana.
The US has supplied pumps that will be used in thousands of Saudi Alliance airstrikes in massive numbers. A rough estimate based on the number of strikes shows that around 40,000 tonnes of bombs have been dropped on Yemen by Saudi Arabia and its UAE. Many of these were “precision mounions,” but there was little concern among civilian victims.

How the bombing is progressing – the US tries to break the REA sea blockade
The United States was struggling with a small, sporadic atmosphere against Yemen’s al-Qaeda forces, primarily the first time since 2002. The tempo of these strikes surprised me until 2016, but the strikes still aimed at becoming an important individual. Under the first Trump administration, there were still more anti-terrorist strikes, and civilian casualties that came with it. Under Biden, these strikes fell in part in 2021 as a result of a ceasefire in the civil war.
Gaza, with the outbreak of war, the Houtis declared a partial blockade of the network sea and banned the passage of Israel-related transport. Israel launched several air stokes against Yemen to break the blockade, and the US committed naval forces to protect shipping against the Hauch missile strike. These efforts were ineffective. Transportation scholar insurance companies have significantly reduced their reluctance to provide coverage to war risk witnesses.
The blockade was interrupted by the Housis during the Gaza ceasefire, but when hostilities were summarised in March this year, the Housis again began firing missiles at selected vessels, attacking Israel with long Russian missiles. Trump launched a concentrated airstrike campaign against the Hoosis, threatening to climb further. The sinking of the strike has been driven by US Navy and Air Force plans, but there is no sigh. Houthis shows no signs of stopping missile attacks and continues to fire US reconnaissance drones.

The military logic of bombing
Delivery of bombs by aircraft developed for tactical and strategic purposes. The limited payload and number of initial aircraft numbers limited bombing to act as a kind of long-term artillery used to strike tactical signature targets. After World War I, Germany pioneered a combined arm approach that incorporated tactical bombing as a close-up support method for armored attack groups that prevented the attacks of World War II. The mass production of long-term bomber aircraft in World War II enabled an increase in strategic bombing. Insert, which directly supports ground forces, offers a massive scalar strike aimed at strategic pumps taking away the resources of industrial warfare.

Military history judges tactical bombing to be a successful military innovation and receives distribution for the development and deployment of fighter/bomber aircraft around the world. The combined arm approach, in which air strikes are closely coordinated with ground operations, is the standard military doctrine for traditional warfare. Opinions regarding the utility of strategic bombing are more important. Postwar research into the effectiveness of strategic bombings challenges the usefulness of air attacks in obstructing the potential for enemy war and damaging the morale of the nation. Strategic bombing rarely has a decisive field to achieve wartime victory. The emergence of nuclear ballistic missiles has dug into the strategic role of manned bombers, doubting the future of strategic bombing with traditional ammunition.
Applying military logic to Yemen’s US Busta campaign raises questions about the purpose of this costly business. Without a ground campaign to neutralize Yemen’s missile sites, bombing could take over the sinking of hidden mobile missile launchers. The US ground invasion and profession will require an army of about 200,000 and many yers in the fight against the rebels. Strategic bombing in Yemen requires vast US Air Force and Navy efforts and could involve the destruction of cities like Sanaa, a World Heritage Site.

Punitive Expeditions and Performance Bombing
Taking history, powerful countries launched punitive expeditions against Weeyar Province, asserting their control, and achieved their goals with power. This characterized colonial gambat diplomacy. The US has occasionally used this tactic against small enemies such as Grenada and Panama, but this practice gradually becomes detached from geopolitical logic. It transformed into a kind of performance display. To quote from a US neoconservative foreign policy advisor:
Every ten years, the US needs to pick up a sub-less, silly little country.
– Michael Ladyn
Profitable Abuse Theatre
US military operations are no longer grouted in geopolitical reasoning. Rather, they have self-perpetuating sight scholarships that enrich and expand defense facilities, empowering politicians. When Kroiswitz famously stated that “war is simply a continuation of politics by other means,” he referred to geopolitics rather than domestic politics. Although the American war since 2001 has not achieved any significant international political goals, they have driven trillions into the defense industry and have advanced many military and political careers. We confirm this explanation that there is no accountability for not delivering real results. Continuous vast wasteful spending is not a bug. They are functions. Therefore, Trump’s bombing attacks and fierce threats on Yemen and Iran are theatrical performances at the political stage that support profits investing in perpetual war.

Conclusion
Yemen’s meaningless bombing is a demonstration of militarized US foreign policy, which has scholarships for political, geographical and economic realities of the modern world. The US cannot easily invade and occupy Yemen, and it is unlikely that force will end the network’s ocean blockade. The performance bombing strike aimed at evoking patriotic enthusiasm among war-loving US voters has done free harm to thousands of Yemen, increasing the odds of the wider Middle Eastern war. Don’t consider the issue in Washington that will cause death and destruction to foreigners and are useless. It is considered an achievement, as it serves those who effectively benefit from foreign wars, and nurtures the desire for public violence that is unknown.
