      Why do you assume that the US gov is more trustworthy than the Houthis? After all the horrible shit the US gov has done what will it take for you to stop believing it when it tells you that it’s the good guy and the people it’s fighting are the bad guys.

        First of all, the State Department document is just one of a variety of reports detailing the Houthi reintroduction of slavery.

        Second of all, the fact you can’t actually attack the contents of the report and solely argue I shouldn’t believe it because you, personally, hate America undermines your argument.

        Third, rape and slavery are not pasttimes in America, as they are in Houthi controlled Yemen.

          It’s not because I personally hate America, the US has been helping israel commit a genocide for over a year, apparently that isn’t enough for you to question their statements but it is more than enough for me

            Except you’re not “questioning” them.

            You are declaring they are wrong, for no particular reason other than their source. You aren’t doing anything to impeach the evidence they produce, you are refusing to even look at it. You are siding with the terrorists because they hate the same people you do.

              The US government has committed far more acts of terror than the houthis

              You are siding with the terrorists
