And the same goes for an IDF militant if you were nonchalantly to visit the areas they have been unleashed to terrorize civilians. Or what about the ISIS fighters on US' side that killed hundreds of civilians in Xinjiang?
A signficant portion of almost every country hate their governments, same in Israel and Iran. Especially because the Yemeni government is not exactly a paragon of human development.
The reality of geopolitics is that sometimes you need to work with the lesser evil to stop the greater evil from coming to your country... We want neither IDF nor houthi scum to have power to threaten Chinese interests internationally. But only one of them have shown an interest to being an enemy at this point.
Iran is extremely picky on buying Military Hardware tbh, there is a reason why for the least decade they haven't received any new Aircrafts like Su-35s. Besides buying it, they also demand a Transfer of Technology.
Comparing the Houthis with ISIS is just ridiculous. The Houthis are more liberal and Republican in nature in comparison to the more Fundamentalist offshot, that is the Salafist and even then, they consider the Salafists as their main enemy. Houthis could be viewed as an Iranian Theocratic iteration on the basis of the North Yemen foundation.
You should be more aghast that you actually believed what you just wrote.
Best that you start questioning your source of information.
Houthis may not be saints but they are nowhere near what you wrote.

Why only since WW II? Why not WWII itself?
Are you wishing the allies had lost and Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan rule the world?
While I do not blindly believe that everything the US does is of pure benevolence, just because someone is lobbing cruise missiles at US ships AND also civilian cargo ships doesnt make them saints.
I'm no fan of Zionism either but just because someone is also against them does not make them my friend.
If you are no fan of the Houthis then obviously my initial post wasnt targeted at you ergo your long response wouldn't be necessary.
This is the same brain disease that denied PRC's UN seat for 20 years.
You are talking to someone who is having a hard time believing that assassinating an official on the presidential inauguration inside the presidential compound is not a serious escalation.

You dont have to believe me. There are tons of reputable and non biased accounts out there;
but hey, if deep down you think the Houthis are basically Santa's elves delivering presents to lil kids and are just a group of misunderstood pacifists then more power to you.
You are free to believe what you want chief.

You ask them. The world is not as complicated as it sounds.
Maybe you ought to check your own education, then you might not be so aghast.
Resisting imperialism isn't insane. It's an innate, natural behavior.
Now you are gonna educate us on how a Zaidi Qutbi group who targets imperialists and Israel is not much different than a Wahhabi group who has never attacked imperialists and Israel?
I see now why you are so aghast - because you actually don't know anything.
Everybody is implicated in something by Western propaganda. Everybody except Israel who commits war crimes openly with pride. For a normal person I would've said I'm quite aghast, but for a lowly educated and willfully ignorant person I say I'm not surprised at your attempt to equate an open committer of endless war crimes (existent reality: US and Israel) - to a nonexistent, imaginary reality of would be's, where Yemenis would be committing all those crimes that US and Israel already commit.
You sound like a Zionist nutter high on Hollywood Koolaid projecting all your crimes onto others and calling them bad while not recognizing it as bad on yourself.
The amount of evil, war crimes, torture, rape, genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc., that Israel and US (and their settler colonial ancestors) have done in the last 100 years is staggering and mountainous compared to even the likes of ISIS.
Your lies don't work anymore. They did for a while on your own population who's biggest concern in life was football and beer, and the rest of the world was too weak to speak. Now the tables have turned - you are in decline, the world has changed. We don't buy your drivel because most of us (the world) were victims of your brutality.
More would be's. Once you open the box of would be's, you are opening a box of infinite possibilities that are impossible to predict. Are you a Houthi militant? How do you know they wouldn't? Do they carry Anglo-Saxon genes?
Houthis are the everyday Yemenis!
