    That’s because The Houthi are attacking cargo ships. They are murdering innocent people on boats who are merely traveling through one of the most important waterways for world trade.

    If you are actually informed on the Yemeni civil war and global geopolitics you aren’t backing The Houthi.

      Odd that your knowledge extends that far but doesn’t talk about civilian deaths, starting another war in the Middle East, or Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Yemen

        It does talk about civilian deaths as I mention the sailors the Houthis are murdering. The Houthi started the civil war in Yemen. The Saudis were drawn into the war due to treaties they had signed with the ruling coalition the Houthis overthrew. This was further exacerbated by the Houthis attacking civilian sites in Saudi Arabia.

        The Houthi slogan is overtly racist BTW. They aren’t the good guys by any standard.

          If you kill 50 innocent people to take one bad guy out, aren’t you just as bad as they are?

            Why are you making up stories that do not reflect the reality of this situation? The US did not kill 50 innocents to kill one person in this case

                You made up a story where only one person was a target and everyone else was innocent. That is not a reflection of reality and your own source proves that.

                Why are you backing the instigator of the civil war if you are concerned with innocent lives?

                    No I did not. I constructed no stories. I backed the US attacks on the Houthi as a response to the Houthi attacking cargo ships staffed by innocent people. The instigator of a conflict is never the good guy.

                  My point is that if you kill innocents as acceptable collateral damage, it doesn’t make you morally superior. It’s pretty much the same as them, just the other side.

                  I’m not “backing the instigator of the civil war” I’m saying you can’t support either group of terrorists.

                    You are defending the Houthi in your previous comment. The fact is no innocents would be harmed in Yemen had they not started the civil war or attacked cargo vessels.

                    National militaries are never terrorists.Any action you would label as terrorism is more accurately labeled as an act of war or a war crime.

                    No, I oppose the Houthi Militia as they want me dead for being gay, not a Muslim, having relatives that married Jewish people, and because I live in the USA (currently). I oppose KSA for the same reasons. I just also know enough about the conflict to place the blame with the instigators The Houthi.
