      We bombed civilian water supplies and infrastructure which led to over 300K dead. Far worse than the official figures from Gaza. No, we do not have the moral high ground to criticize the houthis. We are in fact more amoral and bloodthirsty than them. 👊🇺🇸🔥

          We armed the Saudis and provided targeting for them to destroy Yemeni water supplies and other civilian infrastructure. We then also blockaded and starved the people of Yemen which led to +300k dead.

          I also don’t trust the accusation that the Ansarallah deliberately starved their own people when it comes from the nation causing the food shortage in the first place. Its far more likely that they seized aide to distribute themselves to maintain loyalty. Not a moral practice but I’ve only ever said that we are worse.

          Kill the jingoist in your head.

              The civil war started with the Arab spring the ousting of the president and the installation of a Saudi puppet against the wishes of the original protestors. Ansarallah formed as a response to that and even got the support of the original president. They have shown more interest in the well being of Yemeni people than Saudi Arabia and their genocidal campaign against the people of Yemen. Low bar for sure but easily cleared.

              The US has backed KSA to the hilt in the conflict just as they have with Israel in Gaza. In a way even more so because the Saudi’s are too fucking stupid to even select their own targets or refuel their jets. We’ve been basically holding their hands the entire way and they still lost.

              Like Jesus Christ buddy, I’m an american. If I hadn’t read up on this topic before I’d be giving you the bog standard jingoism that radiates this country.
