They overthrew Gaddafi when he was the only thing preventing slavery from returning, and the allies of the West now have open slave markets in Libya.

Houthis did not reinstate slavery. The "legitimate" Yemeni government that the Houthis are rebelling against reinstituted slavery

That's because anyone who has been paying attention to geopolitics over the last two years knows why the US is bombing Yemen...
The bombing is worse, but using signal instead of official communication channels is still really fucking serious. They want to plan and commit war crimes and avoid any responsibility for it by trying to keep it from ever getting under public scrutiny.

I've heard it called Operation Amazon Prime, which is pretty hilarious. But only like 10% of global trade even goes by this area, even less of you're just considered direct US trade. Combine that with the context from that Signal chat and it's clear they bombed Yemen just because Trump wants to.

The MAGA movement have no care about what the administration does, especially when it comes to non-americans in a country literally none of them coudl identify on a map. But if you show them "look how poorly this bombing was planned and carried out" then maybe they will listen.

One way to look at it: Yemen's current conflict is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Put it another way, it's their Vietnam
They leveled a building to hit 1 target
Because the houthis are raiding merchant ships
Who are the ships supplying? And why are they firing on them? What's the stated reason for the blockade?
The answers to these questions demonstrate why the Signal story is so important.

They’re bombing the Houthi’s in Yemen because the Houthis have been launching Iranian missiles at ships in the Red Sea since 2023? Including the US navy (don’t touch the boats) and Israel. The houthis are currently holding hostage a number of crews of merchant ships

I mean, Houthis have been striking passing civilian ships with missiles and kidnapped people. Not terribly concerned they got shot back tbh.

Because it’s sensational that so incompetent people are in charge.
Launching a $2 million dollar missile and crushing a few children to death should also be sensational.
Unfortunately here in America that's just another Saturday.

people feel there is more of a chance to hold people accountable for the group chat than the bombing

Because bombing the Houthis for terrorism or attacking Gulf states/western interests has been the status quo for over a decade.
