Thanks for the link. However, it says that it’s a Saudi Arabian blockade, the US participated at the beginning but was not the driving force behind it and did not stay for long.
However, in mid-2016 and amid escalating, international concerns regarding some of the strategic initiatives undertaken by the Saudi Arabian military in the conflict, the U.S. pulled back significantly on its participation in this joint planning cell, reducing its staff commitment to only five US workers.
US involvement since then has primarily been the supply of weapons. Like I say, the only real winners are arms dealers.
Supplying weapons goes a lot further than one might think. I remember reading somewhere (please don’t make me dig this up), that practically all the ground maintenance staff of the Saudi air force are US personell (maybe private contractors don’t remember). Just the pilots are Saudis really. The US supported this war and blockade in various ways all the way through. It should be obvious why Ansarallah thinks the US is their enemy.
Oh absolutely, the US are also providing intelligence. However they’re not doing the fighting or directing the military activities. But the UK are also doing much of the same, it’s just that the US are more proficient at it.
Unless you are all in with Bin Laden’s reasons for 9/11, it was Ansarella who attacked the US first. The US military didn’t throw a dart at map and bomb Yemen for no particular reason.
For fuck’s sake. Do you think every middle easterner is part of the same terrorist organization, or why the fuck would you bring up an al-Qaeda attack in 2000 to justify bombing a Shia group in 2024?

Yes, like a large number of Westerners, this is exactly what they think, deep down.

Yeah that’s a big deal.
But it’s still not a war between the US and Yemen.
