Houthis about to find out why we don’t have universal healthcare
“We did find out! It turns out that it’s because you’re a failed state that only exists to funnel money to the wealthy. So much so, that even your trillion dollar military is largely non-functional and ineffective, much less your human services. So, y’know, now that you know you should probably do something about that.”
It’s a failed state and nobody thinks so because being a failed state is its goal.
I do have to say the article is still crap and exposes how ignorant the west still is about Yemen. The same reason they didn’t see it coming, they are ignorant and proud.
Almost overnight, a militant movement in the remote badlands of Yemen
What they refer to as “remote badlands” is Yemen’s richest, most fertile and most populous region (90% of the population living there).
Damn article is paywalled so i am missing out on some classic orientalism.
Lmao 4th and 11, looks like it was a turnover on downs 💀
Paywalled, tldr?
The article talks about how Ansar Allah have gained popularity in recent years, partly due to their opposition to Saudi Arabia and their support for the Palestinian cause.
They have recently launched attacks on ships in the Red Sea, which is a vital waterway for global trade. These attacks have disrupted shipping for western countries. This made them a major player in the Middle East. This raised concerns about the future of trade for western countries since their costs for shipping have jumped dramatically. The west is scrambling to find a way to resolve the conflict in Yemen and prevent further escalation in the Red Sea.
They also discuss the complex history of the Ansar Allah movement and their relationship with other groups in the region, including Iran and Saudi Arabia. The article ends with a question about how the west should respond since so far they have no clear plan how to go forward from here.
Building on this, Ansar Allah are incredibly competent. They managed to stop US-SA aggression against Yemen by developing ways to hit oil related targets in Saudi Arabia, once they showed their capabilities SA immediately stopped the bombing.
Now the ship disruption proves that they understand how the world works and they hit where it hurts. They’ve done more for Palestine than the rest of the world combined.
