You can very easily make a correct hypocrisy argument but it's not just the USA going out of its way to bomb brown people. They were warned (threatened really) explicitly by for example the UN that if they kept shit up there'd be consequences and well they kept fucking around. Everybody wants safe maritime trade and they were raiding civilian vessels breaking international law. What's happening is an obvious consequence of their behavior.
But again you can easily make a correct hypocrisy argument for the USAs behavior cause well you know there's kind of a genocide going on we still haven't done jack shit about.
Even outside of the genocide, which is the primary factor and would be enough by itself, the Yemen people have every right to have grievances with the west considering they have been helping drop bombs that violate human rights treaties on them.
