    Are you seriously naive enough to think the Houthis will lay down their arms if Israel stops attacking Palestine? The Yemeni civil war was happening before Israel invaded Gaza.

      Yes actually, they didn’t attack the ships during the ceasefire in Gaza.

        And? They supported the ceasefire. Neat. They’re still not going to forget their initial grievances. And Iran and Saud aren’t suddenly decide to be all friendly.

          Dude seriously. For the last few weeks, every time I see your username pop up I am baffled – baffled I say, you’re not an @lemmy.ml troll. I’d be happy to be character reference if they need one for you to join.

            You sure you’re talking about me? I’m always attacking tankies. I’m probably already banned from .ml

      People have decided the issue is about which team you pick. Apparently it’s a sport where “your team” is good and the other guys are bad.

      Who needs nuance when you can just rail against your perceived enemies (anyone who disagrees with you even slightly).

        Who needs nuance when apparently an entire residential building counts as acceptable losses (don’t even think about damaging daddy’s oil tho)

          Yeah, reporting has mostly been about the leak - and I understand why. American lives > anything else in American politics and the OPSEC is what puts American lives at risk.

          But if I understand this “operation” correctly - a rocket specialist for the Houthis who was instrumental in the attacks on Suez Canal had a girlfriend in that building. So, they dropped the building on him. 53 innocents dead to kill one terrorist? This is acceptable losses in modern American warfighting?
