people feel there is more of a chance to hold people accountable for the group chat than the bombing

Because bombing the Houthis for terrorism or attacking Gulf states/western interests has been the status quo for over a decade.

They're brown and poor and our country is deep in the arms trade.

I mean, Houthis have been striking passing civilian ships with missiles and kidnapped people. Not terribly concerned they got shot back tbh.

They are only doing it because of the genocide in Palestine. If you cared about civilians you would be defending them.

They were fulfilling their obligation under international law to prevent genocide, hence why they stopped when Israel stopped the genocide, and resumed after Israel resumed it.

The question should be why every other country isn't doing this.

opens a post with question in the title that is lamenting that news don't give any real answers and focus just on "trump bad" story.

all top comments are just "trump bad" and "all bad government" and has to scroll deep down to find an actual answer to the question posted.

leaves understanding much better why news don't focus on context and give just emotional side stories.

I think it's because they keep sinking commercial ships and firing missiles at Israel, no? They also shot missiles at Russian, Chinese, European, Panamanian, Japanese, Korean, and South American ships.

Why were bombing them now is because Trump's a dumbass and needs to distract everyone.
