    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.

        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?
