-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Honestly thats a big part of this i think people aren't considering enough. Yemen is basically showing that even a small nation being bombed like they are can still inflict massive damage to the Americans, and their empire, which includes the zionist entity. As time goes on the other nations that have disagreements with the empire will have less and less reason to fear them.
Thing is the other nations are filled with treatlerites. European nations and the monarch pigs in Jordan and Saudi Arabia have something to lose. The people of Yemen don't have anything to lose anymore after the war, and they would gladly sacrifice what comforts they have to enact justice. Truly valiant stuff in my opinion.
Yes, but with the support of a large regional military power/state actor with advanced military technology that they are prepared to let you use and locally manufacture (in Iran), and being able to accept the consequences of carrying out military action (over 1000 airstikes since March 15). Most small nations don't have that.
Not really my point. My post wasnt so much about Yemens capabilities (which people seem to be reading it as) as the effect on perception of the American Empire. Its showing that America is vulnerable was my point. The empire must appear untouchable because once its seen to bleed others will realise it can be killed.
