Trump’s mess has rekindled Yemen’s civil war and a years-long conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia When the US and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran in late February, Tehran’s allies in the Middle East jumped into the fray. Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia fired rockets at Israel, while Shia militias in Iraq attacked US bases and diplomatic outposts.

The requirement would phase in over a few years. Sounds great. Who wouldn’t want that? There’s just one problem: somebody has to pay for it. For business owners, this isn’t an ideological argument. It’s math. Continue reading...
