Iran is helping the Houthi rebels try to secure Russian anti-ship missiles, Reuters reported, citing three Western and regional sources.
Two regional officials aware of the talks said the Houthis and Russians have met at least twice this year in Tehran, where discussions to supply the missiles were underway.
They added that more meetings are expected in the coming weeks.
Just as a familiar refrain? It strikes me as basically half our GDP.
Nothing important to say but this is hilarious.
Absolutely.
But I was thinking more recent history. Like how the US is supplying advanced weaponry to Ukraine.
Pointing out such hypocrisy is my favorite passtime nowadays. And whether it’s here, reddit. Twitter, etc. It always gets me downvotes. Kinda disappointing that so many people are still blinded by nationalism.
I feel you. I have that autism where I tend to jump in convos to correct facts and people take it as the biggest insult and assume it means I think exactly the opposite of everything they say. I’ve found it’s easier for me to just lean into it since it’s going to happen regardless, I may as well be the one dictating the terms.
What enemy nation are the Houthis at war with?
