WebTheWitted ( @WebTheWitted@beehaw.org ) 26•5 months agoYears of Saudi air strikes with US weapons systems ended in a victory for the Houthis. Not to mention causing one of the worst humanitarian situations of the 21st century.
WTF does the US think it’s gonna do other than escalate the situation (and continue the next record breaking humanitarian crisis)?
naturalgasbad ( @naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca ) 13•5 months agoThe US is just making sure the humanitarian crisis in Yemen ISN’T the worst humanitarian situation of the 21st century.

dan42O ( @dan42O@infosec.pub ) 23•5 months agoWhat ever happened to talking and reaching an agreement and asking for favors and scratching each other back… like now we resort to uncivilized behavior by attacking the poorest countries.
CybranM ( @CybranM@kbin.social ) 13•5 months agoI don’t think there’s much negotiating with a terrorist organization indiscriminately attacking international shipping
dan42O ( @dan42O@infosec.pub ) 17•5 months agoOut of curiosity why did YOU use the word terrorist? Have you ever heard of the movie Avatar, Star Wars, Space Balls? It’s simply too easy to label someone a threat/terrorist, but come on entire countries, like are you agreeing that each creature/living breathing mammal as a terrorist?
Space_Racer ( @Space_Racer@lemm.ee ) 8•5 months agoBecause to further their political agenda they are attacking civilians. you know, the definition of terrorism?

rgb3x3 ( @rgb3x3@beehaw.org ) English11•5 months ago“Hey, do you want you and your families to stop suffering from a lack of food, clean water, healthcare, and housing? We can fix that.”
Might be a start. But it’s never approached that way.
People don’t usually want to be terrorists. The places these people come from are the poorest on earth and don’t know anything other than suffering and exploitation.
JillyB ( @JillyB@beehaw.org ) 5•5 months agoTheir flag says “death to America, death to Israel, curse be upon the Jews”. In some sense, I think you can’t blame an oppressed group for radicalizing in an attempt to improve their situation. But it’s hard to sympathize with a militant, anti-semitic terrorist organization.
Personally, I think the US should end the Prosperity Guardian operation. It should end support for Israel. And it should end oil imports. This will push America more towards decarbonization while reducing America’s interest in the Middle East. But that will raise gas prices, so it’ll never happen.
تحريرها كلها ممكن ( @PanArab@lemmy.ml ) 22•5 months agoI stand with Yemen and the Yemeni government, the only terrorists are the US and Israeli militaries and whoever aids them.
Crikeste ( @Crikeste@lemm.ee ) 14•5 months agoI stand with anyone doing their part to pressure the US and Israel in ending their genocide. ❤️
barsoap ( @barsoap@lemm.ee ) 9•5 months agoIf you stand with the Yemeni government then you want the Houthis gone.
Can you even find Yemen on a map.
تحريرها كلها ممكن ( @PanArab@lemmy.ml ) 8•5 months ago- Ansar Allah are the legitimate government of Yemen. Anyone who suggests otherwise is delusional.
- Not only can I find it, I live directly to the north of it (Saudi Arabia). عاش اليمن الشقيق.
barsoap ( @barsoap@lemm.ee ) 3•5 months agoBeing excited about things doesn’t make them real. You’ll understand that after the tenth or twentieth disappointment.
تحريرها كلها ممكن ( @PanArab@lemmy.ml ) 4•5 months agoYemen has already won, the US has been fighting it since 2004, all that’s left is for the US to understand it lost. Though I predict its crazy politicians will keep repeating their mistakes expecting a different outcome.
Knoxvomica ( @Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca ) 2•5 months agoAmerican soldiers definitely lose. Civilians definitely lose. Americans and their military industrial complex have definitely been treating the middle East as a training ground for 2+ decades.
gnuhaut ( @gnuhaut@lemmy.ml ) 20•5 months agoQ: Are the airstrikes in Yemen working?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, when you say “working,” are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes.
interdimensionalmeme ( @interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml ) 5•5 months agoEvery attack strenghten the houthis.
But every attacks also creates shareholder value.
