stupid war mongering america have armed Houthis
Sep 16^th, 2026 at 3:07am

Quote:

Yemen’s Houthi militants have seized two strategic islands in the Red Sea, reinforcing the Iran-backed group’s ability to control a key shipping route, as concerns mount that the world is facing a new oil supply crisis.

The seizure of the islands of Greater and Lesser Hanish is the latest in the militant group’s swift advance across Yemen’s Red Sea coast, after the capture of the port of Mokha and Perim island in the Bab al-Mandab strait.

The islands lie 160km north of the strait which is a chokepoint that connects the Red Sea to the open ocean and Saudi Arabia’s key Asian markets.

The speed of the Houthis’ advance has left Yemen’s Saudi-backed government trying to claw back territory captured by the militants in recent days, while Riyadh grapples with attacks on a critical oil pipeline by Iran-allied militants in Iraq.

Some of those weapons were provided to the Yemeni government, who are fighting the houthis. Iran has been arming and training the houthis, helping to scuttle Yemen's opportunity to develop into a democracy.

A very stupid thread title from you, classicg seething TDS duffer. Very stupid. Another "glimpse into the bottomless black hole of dogmatic stupidity" of the 'foaming at the mouth ejit' class.
