实际上是美国的中东政策全线溃退,说也门,客气了。利比亚就不说了。
也门从来就是乱糟糟的,沙特的“附属国”,阿拉伯之春后,也门动乱加剧,却给沙特镇压下去了。之后,说民主、改革,啥也没有,政府只有一招:高举“反恐”大旗,死傍大款美国沙特。美国乐的有个“说民主”却不民主的国家,给自己当小兄弟,成了“反恐基地”。
也门成了美军无人机基地,美国要杀谁,不打招呼,让几千里外的一个美国大兵打打电子游戏就行了。这些中学毕业的美国大兵还真爱国,按个游戏键杀人,手上没血,好玩儿,还是“替天行道”,做了善事。因为封闭消息,也没人知道,美国舆论也睁一只眼闭一只眼,至少跟中国有一比。也门政府腐败,正合美国之意。至于伤了几个“贫民”吗,只能说不幸了【注】。

沙特联军开始军事干预也门,美国也给予援助,据说十国参与。又一场战争。胡塞叛军,原来没听说跟伊朗有什么关系,现在有说背后有伊朗,沙特这不给急了?
也门局势,说明了美国对中东实际上没什么控制。
也门对世界石油的重要性
曾几何时,奥巴马庄严地说 :
Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. And any time we take military action, there are risks involved –- especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order.

嘿,美国也真是好景不长,你知道流氓政府是“不地道的”,却纵容它帮你行凶,装傻,迟早这疯狗是要咬主子一口的。

大家也不说丢脸,只说“压根就不知道咋回事儿”,这叫装傻,真逗。钱白花了?
美国算是完全失去了也门这基地,也是心不甘啊。然而雪上加霜的是,

美国是反恐为了大家(中东、世界和平),卖武器为了大家(还是中东、世界和平),这就叫本事,道德制高点。
【注】别说伤了几个百姓,美国历来信奉“连坐”这重罚(collective punishment),经济制裁就是一个例子。经济制裁,被制裁的国家、团体集体受害,良莠不分,美国一直为此辩护为“一个国家如果允许‘侵犯’美国利益的恶略行径,整个国家都得受罚”,故此活该。一个美国人的性命,几千个“野蛮”刁民也换不来。
