The article critiques the American political elite for prioritizing minor rule infractions while ignoring serious constitutional violations, particularly during Trump's presidency. It highlights a specific instance involving planning military action in Yemen, emphasizing the ineffectiveness, illegality, and immorality of such actions. The commentary underscores the ineptitude of involving a media editor in sensitive security discussions and promotes a moral alternative to military action by proposing diplomatic solutions to end violence in Gaza, which could simultaneously address the implications for the Suez Canal.
"The focus on punishing the violation of technicalities is a way of avoiding fights about core issues of principle."
"Bombing Yemen in order to keep the Suez Canal open is ineffective, illegal, and immoral."
