The one thing about the Houthis that anybody actually cares about is they have problematic opinions about Jews.

They were fine with Yemen situation for waging scorched earth tactics against the Shia there or imposing a blockade that led to famine conditions.

It's a classic case of blowback in which Saudis tried to impose their will on Yemen but didn't realize the other side could find ways to get back at them like halving the oil production in a single attack.

The Emiratis wised up real quick while the Saudis didn''t. They should've known that when the Houthis shut down Abha airport that they could've just as well shut down something way more important. Instead they kept tightening the screws and look where it got them.

They're kind of rear end in a top hat tribal bandit types like the Afghan mujaheddin, although I haven't seen much evidence that they're quite so hyped about paedophilia.

It was more the: "You've already got one of the biggest military budgets in the world: are you seriously expecting us to do your fighting for you too?" that seemed at least semi-sensible.

I mean trump’s stance isn’t that he doesn’t want to go to war for the saudis, his stance is that he’ll only do it if they pay him, so uh

I couldn't even get past the intro. I love implying that we could disarm the Houthis somehow when North Yemen is already under a total blockade, or that the Houthis somehow feel "confident" they can "act against Saudi Arabia" after the Saudis have been waging a mass murdering bombing campaign for years. I can't stand these imperialist pigs. The empire and its client states get a free reign in everything, but the second someone hits back it's a crime against humanity. Give me a loving break.

Israel exit polls out now. I haven't been following it and I don't know if they're one of the countries with picture-perfect exit polls or not. Pundits are making it sound like a bad result for bibi but not the worst case scenario. Lieberman (yisrael beiteinu, kind of anti-bibi secular right) is kingmaker. Is Lieberman sitting with the Arabs or the Arabs supporting a government with Lieberman a thing that could actually happen?
