a common myth.. ; truth is USA spends more % GDP on healthcare than nations with "free" healthcare. Whether you pay that through tax .. or you pay it to a business.. it matters not really. one is money going to the gov and then they spend on health for everyone ; the other is the same money or more just goes to business. USA doesn't save money by not having universal healthcare.. BUT the USA military is vastly stronger for a different reason.. very high GDP.. very high GDP per capita ... and also a solid commitment to realise that lots needs to be spent on weapons. The real reason you have no universal health system is lots and lots of very rich people are making lots of money in all aspects of the US private health industry.. from insurance hangers on.. mid men/women... its a whole giant industry.. massive investment ; going to universal health would cut all those people out of their lurcrative investment and jobs. Think about it like this ... if you privitised the Military and had Bill Gates and Musk run it at a profit would you expect it to cost less to maintain at the same strength? ... almost certainly not.

Are we trying to protect those regimes and BRICS business interests while they will not contribute any protection. The countries most affected by Houthi piracy will be Saudi Arabia and Egypt and a couple maritime shipping dynasties and Chinese commerce. Bring back manufacturing and reduce the risk of doing business with regimes whose interest is to destroy the global order in favor to build their own. All roads lead to Moscow and Beijing.

Think it’s pretty certain they were told well in advance - if not the UK “emergency full cabinet meeting” kinda gave it away. The outcome of all this ? UK looks like America’s Poodle! Now not only Israeli ships are targets, ( which seems legitimate to me, as Israel blockades Gazza), but UK and US shipping will now be targeted thus escalating the tension. 🙈🤷‍♂️😢

Elisabeth Kendall is clearly no military expert the way she talks. She is clearly totally clueless about how extremely more capable the US and UK military are compared to the Saudis. Both when it comes to intelligence, military hardware and missiles. It will be close to impossible for the Houthi rebel leaders to hide well enough for a long period to avoid getting killed if the US and UK decide to go after them. It will also be totally impossible for the Houthis to hide and use larger weapons without them getting very quickly destroyed. The reality is also that many of the air strikes the Saudis did, was very broad with very few accurate strikes, often killing and injuring civilians. Elisabeth Kendall also clearly do not understand that the Western alliance would experience much more and worse backfire for not attacking the Houthi rebels than the attacks they have done now and might do in the future. The Western alliance and specially the US could not afford to let the Houthi rebel continue to attack them and civilian ships in the Red Sea without making the Houthi rebels pay for it and try to deter them from more attacks.

She’s a Middle East expert, it says so in the clip. Guessed you missed that huh? So saying she’s clueless about military matters says everything about you.

[@IloveCamels335]

What she said makes much more sense than what you write here. We will come to find out soon won't we.

[@PRGRAMMING]

Let me guess, their retaliation looks like firing missiles at ships in the red sea? Weren't they already doing that? LOL!

The first guest was wrong and the second was right. The Houthis don't care one bit about the plight of the Palestinians but are just being opportunistic.
