      why we don't have free healthcare!

      Turns out the real reason is a structural system of waste and incompetence at all levels of American government and society.

    Despite these tempting offers, which have been the subject of negotiations between Sanaa and Riyadh for over two years, the Yemenis remained steadfast.

    Ansarallah leader Abdel Malik al-Houthi’s consistent position, as reiterated in his speeches, has been to continue operations as long as Israeli aggression against Gaza persists.

    So all they're asking is for the US to stop funding and supporting the genocide. Just do that then 🤷

    If none of those concessions include "end the genocide of Palestinians" then they're not even worth discussing. Ansarallah has made their demand very clear.

      Yes, in part to maintain a navy that is probably more costly than rest of the world navies combined (or close to it) and which failed at using good old gunboat diplomacy against country with no navy and which is decimated by years of war at this point.

    US negotiators in shambles after learning about the existence of "principles".

    Hahaha after months of calling them nothing but "rebels" and "terrorists" and unsucessful attacks, they are now calling them with their proper name "Ansarallah" and even "Yemen’s de facto government in Sanaa." And even "US offered Sanaa – in exchange for its neutrality in the ongoing Gaza war – “an acknowledgment of its legitimacy.”

    Resistance works and the emperor is naked.
