The Houthi attacks have been a menace to any notion of international security and cooperation. In some cases, maritime shipping costs have surged by up to 400%.

Anyone who speaks grandly about universal values and the global liberal order must support a campaign to halt these attacks. If global security collapses, so does stability.
