If I were Israel I would call the bluff. If the Houthis shoot down a plane of civilians, it will solidify support around Israel and make them appear the victim.
If this makes commercial airlines think twice though, or jack up prices, that is a good thing
When I grow up I want to be Yemen
I love the Houthi’s “You’re trapped in here with us!” Energy
no more half measures walter
If Yemen, with limited resources and without even having an unified country can do this, imagine what can the other arab countries achieve?
Glory to Yemen
Honestly thats a big part of this i think people aren’t considering enough. Yemen is basically showing that even a small nation being bombed like they are can still inflict massive damage to the Americans, and their empire, which includes the zionist entity. As time goes on the other nations that have disagreements with the empire will have less and less reason to fear them.
Thing is the other nations are filled with treatlerites. European nations and the monarch pigs in Jordan and Saudi Arabia have something to lose. The people of Yemen don’t have anything to lose anymore after the war, and they would gladly sacrifice what comforts they have to enact justice. Truly valiant stuff in my opinion.

Yes, but with the support of a large regional military power/state actor with advanced military technology that they are prepared to let you use and locally manufacture (in Iran), and being able to accept the consequences of carrying out military action (over 1000 airstikes since March 15). Most small nations don’t have that.
Not really my point. My post wasnt so much about Yemens capabilities (which people seem to be reading it as) as the effect on perception of the American Empire. Its showing that America is vulnerable was my point. The empire must appear untouchable because once its seen to bleed others will realise it can be killed.
ohhh here we GOcritical support because I want zionists to leave as quickly as possible
but uncritical support for ruining people’s vacations to the apartheid state currently doing a genocide
Yemen is the only nation upholding its duty to protect

This isn’t the first time they’ve tried to do this. Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said Israeli airports were an “unsafe area” when they first targeted them over a month ago, but back then the missiles were intercepted. It’s just with the missile not being intercepted this time, and impacting around 500m away from the control tower and main terminal, they have the political capital to make a public announcement like this. The Yemeni Armed Forces have been trying to carry out an air blockade against Israel for some time, since March 22nd 2025 at least.
So was there a change in their capabilities, or did a lucky one get thru?
No change in the type of missile, a Palestine-2 (Fattah-1/Kheibar Shekan variant). Overall in capabilities they’re getting better at evading midcourse interception since the beginning of the campaign, meaning Israel has to use terminal phase interceptors like Arrow-2 or THAAD. Overall 27 ballistic missiles of various types (some maneuverable, some not) have been launched at Israel since March 15, with 25 being partially or fully intercepted, and two direct hits. (92.5% interception rate, 7.5% hit rate). So you could say it’s a lucky hit, or an inevitable one given that 100% interception is impossible. The caveat here is that only one or two missiles are fired at a time by Yemen, if advanced missiles (like Palestine-2/Fattah-1/Kheibar Shekan) get fired in a sufficient volley, the hit rate would be substantially higher, even with THAAD in the picture.
Is Yemen the only good country? Discuss
Colombia has cut diplomatic ties and followed through on commitments to end their biggest and most strategically important trade to Israel, coal. And does all the good procedural UN stuff.
They’re the only country abiding by international law, that’s for sure.
Bombing Israel isn’t just legal, it is a legal obligation. Every country that is not bombing Israeli military targets is in violation of international law and the responsibility to protect.
I have to assume DPRK would be doing this if they were that close.
The DPRK would be doing something(and likely are even if we don’t know about it) but this exactly idk. This is just what Yemen can do. The DPRK has capabilities they don’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a cyber war going on between the DPRK and Israeli hackers as we speak for example.
DPRK would have the question of potential nuclear escalation to consider. In their case I think their own nuclear deterrent could also act as a self-deterrent, since that’s how far it could escalate.
sure seems that way
Yemen is the only country with some balls
Siri define gigachad
I just realized REM are not the guys that did mr blue sky because that’s ELO. Damn luckily I only know 2 3 letter word bands otherwise I’d bee even more confused

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
What about BTO? Canada’s answer to ELO. They’ve got bong-rattling bass grooves and competent drumming i hear.
I like that Wild West Hero song they do, can’t remember the name.
Sure it’s not YMO?
