When and how exactly have the Houtis bombed American soil?
In the post you're replying to I literally made the point that these people being angry at America is the same as Americans being angry at Al-Queda for 9/11, so I literally treated as equally understandable that both people are angry at those who bombed them, which is the very opposite of what you claim I meant.
So you're replying to whatever fantasy is going on in your mind rather than my post (which said the exact opposite of the fantasy you spun claiming that was my take), which means all those comments of yours about "lack of self awareness", "holding a stupid double standard" and "that being a racism premise" apply to the only source of that imaginary "argument" you were criticizing, You.
So it's okay to try and kill Americans so long as they aren't in America?
You are still arguing that we shouldn't be bombing them, despite the fact they're bombing us and arguing that their bombing us is understandable because we're bombing them, even though we're only bombing them because they're bombing us.
When and how exactly have the Houthis bombed American soil?
(You seemed to have forgotten to answer the very first line of my post during this goalpost moving maneuver of yours)
Further, when exactly did he Houthis "try and kill Americans" way back over a decade ago to cause America to start providing Saudi Arabia with bombs to bomb them with and keep doing so for a whole decade in the full knowledge of how they were being used?
You seem to be holding the "racist premise" that when America unilaterally acts in ways that kill non-Americans, those non-Americans aren't entitled to fight back against America and its interests, which is literally you "holding a stupid double standard" and displaying "lack of self-awareness".
