Muchokwadi, Martin haana kumbotaura izwi rekuti "Saudi" kana kutumidza chero dzimwe nyika dziri muYemen, achingoona kuti vapanduki "vari kuyedza kupidigura hurumende." Wepakati anoona aiuya achifunga kuti ngarava yeUS Navy yakangoitika kunge iri munharaunda payakangopfurwa zvisina tsarukano.

CNNnaBarbara Starr (CNN, 10/13/16) akabatana nekirabhu, achisiya zveUS neSaudi zvachose mukukonana. Akaenda nhanho imwe mberi uye achidzokorora kufungidzira nezve "zvakananga" kubatanidzwa kweIran mune Mason kurwiswa uye izvo zvingasanganisira, kunyangwe paine zero humbowo uye pasina zano kubva kuPentagon yekutora chikamu kweIran. Starr yakatopesanisa Al Qaeda neIran, kunyangwe vari kumativi akapesana ekukonana:

Chiregera; Starr aifanira kusimudza matanda uye kukanda kunze mabhoogeymen akawanda sezvaaigona.
MSNBCRachel Maddow (10/13/16) yakaunza yakaipisisa yebatch. Haana kungosiyawo mushandirapamwe wekubhomba weSaudi uye basa reUS mairi (zvakare, zvichisiya muoni achitenda kuti kurwiswa kwacho kwaive kusiri sequitur), akaruka nyaya yacho nenzira inonetesa, achirangarira kutaura kwaTrump kuti aizorwisa zvikepe zvehondo zveIran. izvo zvakatyisidzira US:
Unogona kurangarira mumiriri weRepublican, VaDonald Trump, vakataura zvisina tsarukano panguva yemushandirapamwe kuti kana ngarava dzeIran dzakanyanya kuswedera pedyo nengarava dzeAmerica uye kana vafambisi vengarava veIran vakaitira vafambisi vezvikepe vedu vekuAmerica pasi peMutungamiri Trump, tinofuridzira ngarava dzeIran. yemvura. Zvakanaka, zvikepe zveIran uye zvikepe zveAmerica zvino zvave mumvura imwe chete, kubva kumhenderekedzo yeYemen pakati pehondo, nemakomba eTomahawk uye makomba ekufamba atobhururuka. steady on.
Sei zvikepe zveAmerica zviri mumvura idzodzo? Sei mabhoti eTomahawk "achibhururuka"? Kunetsana hakuna kumbotsanangurwa; zvinongounzwa kuti Maddow ayambire kuti GOP anodomwa anogona kuita kuti zvinhu zvinyanye. Ehe, haasi Trump akatsigira maSaudis munhandare yemhepo yakasiya zviuru zvafa, asi VaObama-uye ndiHillary Clinton uyo semunyori weHurumende akasunda nechido kutengesa ndege dzehondo kuRiyadh (The Intercept, 2/22/16) Asi zvinhu zvakadaro zvinogona kukanganisa nhoroondo yemwaka wesarudzo.
Maddow, semimwe mishumo, akashandisa yakarodha modifier "Iran-backed" kutsanangura maHouthis (kunyangwe nyanzvi nevakuru vePentagon vachifunga kuti rutsigiro rweIran overblown) Iyi iasymmetry yakaoma, tichifunga kuti hapana kana imwe yemishumo inotaura kuhurumende yeYemeni se "US-backed" kana "Saudi-backed." Akataurawo kuti Mauto eNavy akapomera kurwiswa kweHouthis, apo Pentagon inongotaura kuti zvombo zvakabva munzvimbo yevapanduki, uye zvinogona kubva kune mamwe mapoka akabatana (New York Times, 10/13/16).
Kwete chete kutsigira kweUS kuSaudi Arabia kwakasiiwa kubva kune ese aya mishumo, izwi rekuti "Saudi" haritaurwe mune chero ipi zvayo. Muoni anopiwa fungidziro yekuti hondo, kunze kwekupindira kweIran, inyaya yemukati mese-apo ichibatanidza nyika dzinopfuura gumi neshanu, kunyanya maSunni monarchies anotsigira hurumende yeYemeni - uye kuti vapanduki vakangosarudza kurwa. nehondo huru kwazvo munhoroondo yenyika.
VaHouthi, kana vari ivo, ramba zvakasimba vaita kurwisa kwacho Mason, uye hapana humbowo hunowanikwa pachena kuti vaive ivo kana mauto emubatanidzwa. Izvo zvinofanirwa kucherechedzwa, zvisinei, kuti mauto eHouthi akatora chikwereti yekunyudza chikepe cheUnited Arab Emirates mavhiki maviri apfuura.
Sezvinowanzoitika muhondo, nhau ye“ropa rokutanga”—kana kuti ndiani akatanga kurwa—inoshatiswa. Hurumende dzinoda kuti vateereri vepasi rose uye vagari vemo vaone zviito zvavo sekudzivirira-zvinodikanwa mhinduro kuita hasha, kwete hasha pachadzo. Vezvenhau vemakambani eUS vari kubatsira mukuru uyu kutenderera mukutaura kwavo nezvekubhomba kweUS kuYemen.
