A blockade is an act of War. As is firing upon military and civilian ships. Whine about almost certain consequences all you like, they've no one to blame but themselves.

Yes a blockade is an act of war. Ansar Allah declared war on Israel. What’s your point? The US is still solely responsible when it decides to bomb a country instead of negotiating.

And they got War in return as they were repeatedly warned would happen. What's your point? And the US has bombed crap tons of people into the stone age for being threats to its monied interests. Why would anyone be stupid enough to think a different outcome would occur? Why would anyone be stupid enough to think after all the people the US has had killed, killing these really really self important fools would be a bridge to far?

Do you really think Ansar Allah thought the US wouldn’t retaliate militarily? Of course they did. The US has been complicit in committing war crimes against Yemen for the better part of the last decade. Frankly that’s probably a significant reason why they felt the need to do whatever they could to stop the US backed genocide in Gaza. Maybe just maybe bombing them isn’t the answer here.

The consequences of an idiot leader's decisions are not only predictable, they are announced prior.

The time for negotiating with these silly people is over.

The US never negotiated, and they probably wouldn't listen considering we tried to genocide them by blockade since 2015 until Saudi Arabia decided they wanted to keep their oil refineries.

The only silly person here is the one that expects a people we tried, and failed, to genocide would be afraid of the people that did it.

The US never tried to negotiate.
