🇺🇸🇾🇪 - The Biden Administration has completely failed in every conceivable measure on its foreign policy, and Yemen is just the recent pet project turned disaster.

Biden kicked off his administration very early on with an attempt to cool off the Yemeni Civil War by removing Ansar Allah, the Houthis, from the United States' foreign terrorist organization list, reversing President Trump's last minute designation in early January 2021. This ultimately culminated in a ceasefire being put on paper between Ansar Allah and the Presidential Leadership Council in April 2022. Despite the fact that the ceasefire expired in October 2023, the ceasefire has - for the most part - remained in place.

Yemen's civil war has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, largely thanks to American-supported, Saudi-led airstrikes across Houthi-controlled territory, and America's reversal of this policy in favor of mediation and peace talks initially emerged as a massive victory for the Biden administration. In some ways, one could interpret America's softening policy towards Yemen throughout the course of 2021-2023 as steps towards ending the civil war, even favoring the Houthis in a post-war scenario. However, this all went down the drain when October 7th happened.

The United States went from hating the Houthis, to softening its policy towards it, to mediating peace between the Houthis and its enemies, and now a complete 180, carrying out frequent airstrikes against them. What was once a victory - albeit minor in the grand scheme of things - has collapsed.

This failure is now intermingled with multiple other foreign policy disasters, not just with the Middle East, but with other regions. Saudi-Israeli peace talks have been indefinitely suspended. The India Middle East Economic Corridor (IMEC) is now in serious jeopardy. The Biden Administration's previous attempts to restart negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program are gone, likely never to return. All of this, coupled with America's failures in Ukraine and the as of now disastrous "Pivot to Asia" policy, has pulled the rug from underneath Biden's chances of having just one foreign policy victory in his term.

Domestically, Biden will find it impossible to champion a foreign policy victory in the 2024 election. Internationally, America's credibility, respect, and trust has been seriously damaged, and the next administration will have a hard time recuperating America back to where it once was on the world stage.
