I read your recent post from the Atlantic Council regarding Houthi attacks. So some western media is trustworthy, no? Or is that just selective bias.

So we are using old posts I see. The Atlantic council post was in reply to your assertion that Houthis were no name people, and cower in front of US power, which you so love to promote. Coming from their own Atlantic council, I guess you learned that the US govt are concerned about them.

So are you saying that western media never plays these games and uses these tactics described by @sheogorath ? Using unnamed sources to promote an agenda? Should we take everything they say at face value ?

Why quote an Anglo think tank as a response to what I said. Based on your logic, whatever they say about the houthis could just be propaganda. It’s the Atlantic Council.

I said the Houthis are not that big of a deal. They causing some shipping disruptions, but have not caused wide spread panic in terms consumer shopping habits or prices.

They come from one of the poorest countries. Could be in power for a few years and then be overthrown by another group. Other than fighting do they know much about governing.

No. How do you want them to provide evidence. They likely have moles deep within Iranian leadership. Any large scale mobilization would be seen by satellites and other assets. They are in constant communication with Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar.

They have a better idea of what’s going to happen than me or you.

Why was my response to @MortyandRick deleted. Anyway no big deal. I'll simply say that

It's selective bias to quote western media when it suits the narratives, and then call them propaganda when it doesn't.

And the history of Yemen is filled with corruption, nepotism, coups, civil wars. Haven't seen evidence of how the Houthis are any different than the previous groups. Fighting against zionism gives them some legitimacy. How about provide better access of water, food, medicine and develop the economy.

Work on your own country before fighting for the Palestinians.

Those are deliberate attempts of regime change. Not intelligence failure.

When it comes to Iran, its pretty obvious they have good intel from inside the leadership.
