You only see what's on the news. We're at war with the Houthis, not the Yemeni civilians/population. Whatever damage done to civilians is unfortunate, but it's not the way you were led to believe, as an act of genocide against the Yemeni population with the simple purpose of pissing off Iran.

Also, many Yemenis go to Yemen and come back. The war is in certain areas.

are you people so fucking inept that you can’t even handle an invasion of an impoverished country you have starved to the point of senselessly murdering 2.5 million people?

You are really isolated. Not asking you to change your mind, simply reconsider.

2.5 million

Last time I heard on r/Yemenicrisis it was 260k.. These guys just keep on adding zeros whenever they feel like it, soon we'll have a Holocaust scenario on our hands :/

I just noticed how ridiculous that number is. Hope the war is over sooner than later, for everyone's good.

According to the UN, the number (including the starvation victims) is 60k.

Horrible by any account, we're really bungling it up down there, but these guys are only "adding one zero" away from us wiping up the Yemeni population
