I certainly don’t think the Y’alliban are freedom fighters.
I am no fan of the Houthis, but you can’t just ignore that they were also oppressed by a dictator propped up by the USA and that they suffered one of the worst famines in the 21st century thanks to the USA and Saudi-Arabia.
It always seems a bit weird to me when people who’ve been forced into the worst kind of deprivation are the ones taking the blame for what that desperation has driven them to do, instead of the US and Saudi Arabia, who’ve purposefully created a situation where millions are starving.
I don’t have specific-enough knowledge of Yemen to speak authoritatively, but I am well aware of the US involvement and what the partnership with the SA has done to these people in a general sense, so it feels like proper credit should be assigned here.
Where did I call them freedom fighters?

They are Yemeni Nationalists propped up by Iran.
No one has clean hands in this conflict.

This is the important fact to remember about Yemen. The US has been helping SA starve this country at least since 2016. Probably longer.

I’m sure that has nothing to do with a near decade of forced impoverishment and starvation.

Thank you for the information. I hope you have a pleasant day.
This reads as sarcastic but given your prior stance you seem completely serious for some reason.
