    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.
