i'm going to act like a stereotypical American here and say "This is why we have 12 Aircraft Carriers"

i really don't think a UN Intervention in Yemen is wise though

it's also why Canada started building 3 new ones.

still unnamed they are supposed to be big enough for emergency commercial landings, and hold upwards of 350 aircraft. they are supposed to be deployed to the arctic though to 'protect arctic sovereignty.' there's always boarder disputes over the North West Passage that is technically in Canadian territory via international law.

i hope the UN will step in, but at this rate the UN will be policing the entire Arab world, and that is going to be a logistical and political nightmere
