>You admit they’re a racist group and then say my “argument has no legs” while failing to address the crux of the issue.
I don't think saying racist things justifies bombing someone. Worse, I don't think you should be blockaded because your neighbor is racist.
>Do you honestly propose the government just lay down everything and let Houthi takeover as another Taliban?
The undemocratic government was free to resist, but foreign intervention likely made the situation far worse.
And let's not pretend that Yemen wasn't already "another Taliban." Even before the civil war, the US had regularly launched drone strikes in Yemen for over a decade. Which is the kind of shit that leads a group professing "death to America" to gain power.
I am not responsible for what I consider to be abhorrent acts by the Houthi. I am supposed to be responsible for the acts of the US government.
>obviously shit situation with no easy answers because of the slimy regional powers.
Dropping billions in arms on the situation only makes things worse.
