> Houthis - Their Red Sea efforts are shitting down Israel’s Red Sea port and straining the Israeli economy.

Even with the typo it's accurate.

Spiritual Warfare just the Principled Politics and Free Market of Ideas of our Time; a scam to paralyze you while the enemy destroys us.

Family and gather round just taking your own hostage.

"Macron - Talking tough but what can France do and what will they do if/when French soldiers die?"

They already did as 'advisers' and mercenaries. Dozens died in a missile strike in Ukraine.

Macron got embarrassed in front of the French Warrior Class and has to offer some salve. The French Military Warrior and often enough Merc class has a history in French Politics shall we say....and it was the young Officers in Algeria who put DeGaulle in power in 1958. There was trouble later when DeGaulle stabbed them in Algeria.

The Great Novel/History is "The Centurions" and "The Praetorians" by Jean LaGarde if you want an entertaining read. Those two stories are also very popular with our military.

More timely France has large interests in Africa which are safeguarded as is France's oceanic Empire by said mercenaries. More contemporary is France has some internal security issues.

Macron may stumble into trouble, but he's just doing it to get more banker money and provide some salve to France's warrior Caste , who's blood is up.
