    What’s funny is that the houthis are a proxy force of Iran. It looks like that only the western flavor of Imperialism is bad. Because Iran has been trying to influence the middle east for a while and the tankies have always been quiet. Assad in Syria and Hezbollah in Lebonnan were also proxies of Iran.

      It turns out it’s only imperialism if it’s the West, otherwise it’s National Self-Determination (By Juntas Ruling At Gunpoint).

      “Imperialism is bad, Western or otherwise” is apparently too complex.

      Also, a little bit of homework for curious readers: Look up IRGC Quds Force and Iran’s role in the Syrian civil war.
