Yemen has done the right thing.

[–] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You know now that the coast is clear, I will admit that this article is a month old, it was a sleepy mistake. I thought I had snagged a PressTV source for a <24hr old Middle East Spectator (very unreliable Telegram/Twitter) post quoting a Yemeni official saying that Yemen would be a "sword" in Colombia's hands.

I don't know if I might be jumping the gun here, but the language portends deeper collaboration between Yemen and Latam, which could certainly use anti-ship missiles. Maybe Yemeni fighters could actually come to the region? They probably have too much going on already!

Oh so is this why America is gearing up for war against Columbia?

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hahaha, don't be silly.
They want to steal Columbia's resources of course.
They've stolen the Panama canal before.

Maybe they were quoting Trump

The US is largely gearing up for war with Venezuela right now, though

Yemen is unironically peak human rights.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Uh...

Yemen is one of the seven countries to apply a death penalty for consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex.

It's good they're banding together to protect muslims against the threat of Israel (their words) but they're still a religious authoritarian nightmare.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yemen is peak anti-colonialism. Which unfortunately comes with religious conservatism as a reaction against colonial forces. Fanon discusses this at length in the context of Algeria.

See how absurd that a country that has real human right abuses is doing more against a genocide than other countries that claim to care about human right abuses while bscking Israel.

When the west is going act like a real model and isolate Israel ?

Let me check my evil meter to find out if homophobia is worse than literal genocide against brown Untermenschen to create an ethnostate

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Calling death penalty for gay sex just homophobia seems like it's downplaying it a bit lol

The "official" Yemenite government is the saudi puppet one. This guy is from the based houthi ones.

Israel will nuke the world if it starts losing.

That's why we gave them nukes, so we could continue to act with impunity and deflect all of the guilt onto a madman that nobody wants to challenge because he claims he's on a mission from God.

All of us are expendable in his mission.
