One can do a good action and a bad action at the same time. They can support a national liberation struggle and oppress their citizens at the same time. I don't know why you'd have to make a final verdict, countries are not people you should hang out with. They are bureaucratic entities with interests that are a lot of the times opposite to those of the people. How about all counties are bad?

Also I don't understand why you would hold the poorest country in the world that was facing a genocide and the worst humanitarian crisis in earth 5-10 years ago by the Saudis and the US to the same social standards as the West. These people are hungry, poor, destroyed in every way and up until recently had to fight to gain their independence. Who do you expect to rule except for these Houthi fighters? If the west and the Saudis had let them live, then we could talk. I see this stupid take so often like with Afghanistan, it's frustrating.

So treating women like humans is optional for you. Got it.

Once you realize that the reason they are not treating women equal is because they've been uneducated and starved to death by imperial powers to reach the point to have this government, and not because they are stupid or something, then we can talk. Oh and once you learn to read how I never said it's acceptable, but rather that we can applaud them for one thing and condemn them for another.

If you let them live for a couple of decades they will sort it out is the main idea.

Hey, just maybe they are uneducated and starved nearly to death by imperial powers and also absolute motherfuckers. Sounds like that.

Holy fucking shit, please look into the history of the Yemeni Civil War. The idea of the Houthis as fighting for the independence of the Yemeni people is beyond absurd.

That's some "Who do you expect to rule except the Taliban" level take-

I see this stupid take so often like with Afghanistan, it’s frustrating.

... of course.
