> risk a lot of collateral damage in land attacks in Yemen than give the impression that a ceasefire happened through blackmail.
This is just a very, very bad take, you're basically saying "it's better for Yemeni kids and women to get killed [my reading of collateral damage] than for the West to lose face [my reading of the blackmail thing]". Hasn't the West learned anything from Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, like, literally, anything?
