  Don’t worry, Trump said the Houthis are on the phone begging him for a deal

  The bit the guy glossed over in his explanation, was that the Saudi blockade in Yemen led to an estimate 2 million people dying of hunger throughout the country. There wasn’t just a random outbreak of famine like he makes it sound.

  Houthis are one tough bunch, but they aren't one to blame for current mess. United States is the main culprit.

  Hmmm? In January 2026 the Strait of Hormuz was open. In August 2026 the Bab al-Mandab Strait was open. Now both are mostly closed. I wonder what happened in February 2026 that caused this oil price increase?

  This not about Shia or Sunni muslims, this war is about western supported regimes and people who want to push back the west.

  The UK has been selling Saudi Arabia weapons and training its pilots for many years to help them attack Yemen.<br>Most people in the UK know nothing about that...<br>The UK government sell you the lie that UK arms exports are controlled and that we don&apos;t sell weapons into war zones or generally destabilize the world..<br>The truth is that the UK creates a lot more refugees than it takes in.. <br>For a country that dislikes refugees so much it&apos;s pretty adept at creating them.<br>And most British people have no idea whatsoever that it&apos;s happening and has been for years.

  Enough with your BS BBC. Trump and Netanyahu are the root cause of all this.
