The US is on the wrong side of history on this one.
There is a clear genocide happening….

  • Students will identify conflict escalation triggers and describe how conflicts intensify step by step.
  • Students will demonstrate emotional regulation skills during conflicts to prevent escalation and promote empathetic communication.
  • Students will analyze conflict scenarios, evaluate de-escalation strategies, and propose effective resolutions to maintain positive relationships.
  • Students will actively engage in group discussions, practice active listening, and role-play conflict resolution scenarios to develop effective communication and problem-solving skills.

I have to wonder whether someone is going to end up paying the Houthis off (more money and weapons than Iran is giving them) to allow shipping to transit the Red Sea?
