Oh no, it's MUCH worse than that; we're killing some of the poorest people on the planet while they're going out on a limb to stop a genocide we're backing.
It's so... like there aren't adjectives for this. Obama, Trump, Biden, and Harris have spent a decade attempting to exterminate Yemenis, they've killed hundreds of thousands and horribly injured millions, and the Yemenis, far from being cowed, defeated the US Navy in order to stop a genocide. And all we can conceive of is sending more bombs, killing and maiming more people. It's incomprehensible. "Evil" isn't sufficient.
It’s incredible isn’t it. If you made a film with a plot as an allegory for Americas actions in Yemen like Star Wars was for Vietnam it would be impossible to get the average American to identify America as their stand in because the actions are so on the nose evil it would break their narrative too much. America is so antithetical to moral, honourable, ethical and just behaviour that it’s a caricature of what it is to be evil.
A second, bigger Empire has shown up to shoot down known terrorist Luke Skywalker and a squadron of illegal X-wing fighters. Reportedly the terrorist group was attempting to sabotage the newly built Tactical Defensive Moonlet (only used for defensive planetary disintegration)

Grand Emperor Bai-Den reportedly 'very displeased' with Emperor Palpatine, urges the Empire to stop blowing up planets within 6-8 years or he'll be 'big mad'.

The Grand Emperor allocates 800 quintillion credits in military aid to Palpatine.

It should be pointed out that despite the incredible decades-long popularity of Star Wars, very few Americans know about the connection the movie has to the Vietnam War and fewer still could figure out that America is not the Rebels but Empire.
The Yemenis also had the first communist-led government, the first socialist state in West Asia after they ousted the Brits and then won out over the Nasserists for power. There are still remnants in the regular people and in political actors of both socialist and non-socialist groups who were against reunification with the north just as there are newer trends and groups against foreign domination in general like and including the Houthi movement and other nationalist-islamic groups (over support of whom various left-wing and social democrat groups had their own splits over. A lot of different social trends and also different political factions with differing politics from that history, including some active secessionist groups involved in various sides in the civil-and-proxy-war.
Which all of this certainly doesn't help the region and its peoples which used to be occupied by the anglosphere stay out of the sights of, led by the US, the largest most violent empire in history whose interests shape global politics, as the apex of capitalist-imperialism grown to its highest stage in the form of global neo-colonialism. It's more of a neo-colonial involvement in an otherwise imperialist-driven regional power struggle for exploitation of resources (Southern Yemen was a big British Petroleum hub), inherited from the previous history, rather than a specific extermination plan of Yemenis in general. And in that it makes more cynical-bourgeois sense.
This is also all why the US previously, as always and many times in other countries and regions, sided with the royalists, compradors, jihadist fundamentalist terrorists, western-friendly regional imperialist powers, and general counter-revolutionary and opportunist forces against any and all Yemeni socialists and any and all national-oriented or geopolitical-rival-oriented social-democrats in every political struggle and conflict and civil war eruption they had. Unsurprising for the neo-colonials to target, alongside their regional imperialist allies, that which had previously for a century been a British colony.

You should post even more frequently (not that you asked) o7
Lovecraftian shit
It's still much worse than what you've written here! You used the word "while" when the word "because" is much more accurate.
