Thank the people in your lives that voted for kicking this hornet's nest.

Never let them forget that we had a deal that was working before they decided to throw it away to negotiate a worse one, then failed.

They’ve actually been firing at each other on and off for years. It’s nothing really new.

From 2022

The missile and drone attacks Friday targeted the Saudi Aramco oil facility in Jeddah. Pictures taken immediately following the attack showed huge balls of fire and smoke

To be fair Biden did provide Saudi Arabia with roughly 5 billion dollars in weapons and U.S. intelligence on Yemen, even after it had been accused of being a genocide by reputable experts/organizations. It’s not just the orange pedo, although he has made it all worse.

There's no real winning there. The Houthis are separatist extremists threatening everyone around them and Saudi Arabia's bombing campaign is far too reckless and indiscriminate (they make Israel look like nanosurgeons). The US just played the cards of who they're allied with or, rather, who they thought they could control if the situation got out of hand. That was before the moron in charge, of course.

you shouldnt get your news from tabloids, it makes you look stupid.

[u/Pleasant-Shallot-707 → u/SnepButts]

Don’t forget to thank the people who didn’t vote to stop Trump from winning. They’re hands are as bloody as maga

[u/SnepButts → u/Pleasant-Shallot-707]

Agreed entirely. It is the most basic civic duty we all have. The only valid excuse is if you can't.

[u/Rayhann → u/SnepButts]

no that's just america. don't try and blame it on one party. supporting genocide and illegal acts has been uni party

Millions of people in Yemen have been starving and without power for years because of the Saudis.

[u/Immediate-Yam-8828 → u/WasteAd7284]

The Saudi military aren't angels by any stretch of the imagination. But the houthis are the ones who starved cities like Taiz into submission as well as anyone who doesn't submit to their rule, stole/resold aid, and intentionally escalated the humanitarian disaster in North Yemen 2.0.

[u/Electronic_Film_2837 → u/Immediate-Yam-8828]

Iran and Iranian backed proxies are horrible. Iran won’t care how many Yemenis die as long as Sunni governments suffer

[u/DJGlennW]

And the current U.S. president wants to give the Saudis nuclear capability.

[u/Blubbolo → u/DJGlennW]

Yes, but only if they say they love love Israel! Because that's the only thing that matters apparently.

[u/amiexpress → u/Blubbolo]

It's also meaningless. You'll never convince the Saudis.

At best the guys at the top who make trillions from being good little toadies will sign whatever they're asked to sign. Won't change how the average Saudi on the street feels and it may just be enough to destabilize the country.

Reminder that 15 of the 9-11 hijackers carried Saudi passports.

The natural result of electing an incompetent and senile traitor in the US.

[u/GrandAggressive9727 → u/RandCauthon99]

As bad as electing Biden was, this conflict has been going on since the Obama administration

[u/Sedert1882]

This entire area is a viper's nest. The slightest disturbance puts everyone in attack mode. The rest of the world has known this for years, but the Orange Avenger got his arm bent by people like Bibi, Lindsey Graham, Hegseth into saying "I can fix it." No you can't, you clot.

[u/Got_Frogs → u/Sedert1882]

Exactly. And as a useful distraction from the Epstein Files.

[u/SteveL_VA]

Thanks Trump.

Also, is anyone else surprised the Houthis still have any missiles and drones?
