I think a more important question is whether Yemen still exists as as single coherent political entity with the same borders as seen on ANY of those maps, which given the present situation, it clearly does not.

Yet! Ansarallah is really on a roll these days. I would be lying if I said I don't want them to succeed. After more than a decade of watching them persevere through bombing and starvation, it's honestly quite inspirational.

Inexplicably, people do tend to vote here. I do, however, condemn the united states.

Like bombing innocent people in boats for a crime that would require a trial and not be illegible for death sentence?

Which innocent people are you talking about exactly?

Presumably they're referring to stuff like this: https://www.hrw.org/report/2026/07/21/a-dangerous-partnershi...

I think it's a reference to the US bombing small boats in the caribbean and eastern pacific with claims that they were drug smugglers.

There are only very bad reasons why you would want these people to succeed
