    Suggesting that the Houthi Iranian regional militia is “Yemen” is either astoundingly ignorant or truly unhinged.

      Iranian backed doesn’t disqualify them as Yemenis bruh.

      Hezbollah is still representative of Lebanon despite also being funded by Iran, and despite not being an official part of the government, unlike the Houthis who maintain a complete government over the majority of Yemen’s populated land, including the capital.

      They pretty much have the highest claim to “Yemen”.

        Got it. So a foreign militia in Lebanon is the proper government of Lebanon, a foreign militia in Yemen is the proper government of Lebanon. We see what you are doing here.
