They're brown and poor and our country is deep in the arms trade.

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.

opens a post with question in the title that is lamenting that news don't give any real answers and focus just on "trump bad" story.

all top comments are just "trump bad" and "all bad government" and has to scroll deep down to find an actual answer to the question posted.

leaves understanding much better why news don't focus on context and give just emotional side stories.

Because it is controlled by the Houthis, Islamist terrorists threatening global trade, overthrowing a quasi-friendly government and REINSTITUTING SLAVERY.

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.

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

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