The enemy of your enemy may still be your enemy.

I was on the side of Houthis after being oppressed by American-backed, Saudi-led military forces. But now it became clear they are lackeys of Iran who attack innocent sailors, who have no dog in the geopolitical dick measuring contest.

Yeah. I was never on the side of the Houthis, but I considered our support for Saudi-backed murderers instead of Iranian-backed murderers to be utterly pointless, except negatively insofar as it involved us backing a bunch of vile fuckers in a conflict we had no business being in.

Still wouldn't support the Saudis if it were up to me. But now I certainly support retaliating against the Houthis until they stop attacking international civilian shipping.

That’s novel.

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 47 minutes ago

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.

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.

I know the comments are immediately filled by these assholes but I'm glad they are being down voted and OP is being up voted.

Its so akward to engage with people like that... it's like people supporting russia because ukraine is supported by america. 2 can be shit at once. Its not that hard.

If isis starts attacking israel, that does not mean you need to support isis...
