Sunak embraces military strikes in Yemen despite concerns over strategy and impact
- Sunak has grown comfortable with ordering military strikes, doing so again just a week after his first time with barely any parliamentary attention
- The strikes don't seem to be having much impact, with the Houthis quickly rebuilding destroyed infrastructure, but Sunak asserts they are successful
- Sunak plans to send the woefully incompetent Dominic Raab to the Middle East for diplomatic talks, likely exacerbating tensions
- Opposition leader Keir Starmer enthusiastically supports the strikes, failing to ask critical questions and matched Sunak's hawkishness
- A few opposition MPs raised concerns about an endless bombing campaign with no clear strategy, but were mostly ignored amid government certainty
