So does this mean that the US is just ignoring the pretense that these groups are separate entities now?
Are they going to start attacking Hezbollah?
It's ww3, we don't have to worry about little things like that, it's time to play with our new toys.
They really aren't though. They all share virtually the same ideology. Someone link that sketch with the two people and their highly specific religions, was it Kids in the Hall?
Hamas and ISIS for example have nearly identical ideology and members who belong to both groups, despite their patrons and leadership being formally at war. Houthism, Hamas, Hezbollah, Mujahedeen, Islamic Jihad, are all Shia Islamists, rooted in pan-Islamism, all militant, all fund or are funded by various terror sponsors, all have endorsed suicide bombings, all have endorsed targeting of civilians, all have endorsed the use human shields i.e. martyrdom, all endorse rule in all things public and private by religious law, they have different ideas only about who should lead: the Caliphate or the Iranian Imamate, or their own states, respectively.
They will never have their own countries. Bet. Too poor. Too gullible. Too well isolated. It would be treason for any American president not to abolish the Houthi's offensive capabilities, trying to disrupt western economies and kill civilians to lick Iran's boot.
It is absolutely bizarre to see Americans or people in EU countries supporting literal terrorists, but I guess that's the price of free speech.
Everyone of these groups had or has a policy of utter disregard for human rights and endorse the indiscriminate targeting of civilians. If they want to live in increasingly small and irrelevant portions of sand that nobody cares about, that's great, let the people elect whatever religious zealots they want and bother nobody. The Houthis and Hamas are extremely popular terrorist organizations. If they want to live like it's the year 1,200, fine, keep it at home though, stay in the mountains, stay in the dunes, go to work and school and church and then go home. When they fuck around and start dabbling in international terrorism, crossing borders or attacking civilian vessels and airliners, coffee shops and concerts, that's not being very good community members now is it?
And it gives rise to an obvious and natural right of self defense doesn't it?. Hence, why Biden does not need Congressional authorization to start lighting up these extremely motivated and highly gullible fools, to strongly discourage or end such offensive machinations and capabilities. Sorry for soapboxing on your post.
Might not be the one you're thinking of but this comes to mind: https://invidious.slipfox.xyz/watch?v=l3fAcxcxoZ8
Yup that's the one.
