    In conventional warfare the US will probably win most wars they engage in. It is not that hard to figure out key military locations in a country and attack/occupy them and the US has one of the most advanced armies in the world to do so.

    The guerilla warfare that follows is more difficult as the US has shown time and time again by losing. When every person you need can be a potential opponent, with no clear centralised structure and supply chain, even the big armies of the world can struggle.

      Also Yemen has one of the most armed populations in the world; the only way the military would win against Yemen is engaging in a Gaza style air focused genocide, which is what libs keep saying is what prevented America from winning. I genuinely despise that supposedly pro-Palestinian libs took Yemen so personally and saw themselves in the government’s struggle against the Houthis; my guess is it’s because Biden was in office and this was Biden’s battle.

        This would also be logistically impossible for the US. Israel can do that shit to Gaza because its next door and aside fromt he urban area, flat ground. Yemen is thousands of kilometres away fromt he US and its terrain is a guerillas wet dream.
