 It's also not about orthodoxy it's *which* orthodoxy.

It's like Christians and Catholics warring. 
 Ok. 

And why does that equal me giving them tanks?  
 You could or not give, but that doesn't change the fact that your reasoning is flawed. 
 My reasoning being that everyone is doing shit I drive with and that is morally wrong so I don't want to super it? 

🤔🤔🤔🤔 
 That's fine, but then you should probably have issues with more than just Israel bud.

Why didn't you have this energy before?

Maybe Saudi bombing Yemen didn't matter to you? Half of a million people dead. 
 And I like that reason you just stated, but the OP said he couldn't understand why...which is clownish & a way to absolve yourself of actually finding out why who what where when. 
 You see a lot of ex military have this brain damage. 
 You're losing the argument and resorting to insults 
 Uhhh no insults, just the truth but if you took it that way then maybe you should keep crying?

Israel is defending itself just fine with me "losing" it seems. 
 Israel can do what Israel wants without the support of Zionists in the US Congress. 
 Cry harder 
 And do I support them? 

I don't understand why you're trying to say one sides fucked up shit is more righteous than the other. 

You can polish a turd but all You're going to end up with it's a shiny turd. 🤷🏽

I criticize everyone I see as wrong once I have the info to back up my thoughts.  
 Good I just didn't see much of it following you. 
 Much of what following me? 

Me being antiwar? Pft. 


Ok sorry. I'll be more antiwar  
 Much of anything to do with antiwar unless it pertains to Israel  
 Because we're all especially tired of seeing our politicians simp for Israel. That goes for Ukraine too.  
 You don't remember me breaking amethyst 3 times with antiwar threads? 

Not even tagging people either. 

But long threads progress phones couldn't scroll past. 

Here I'll do it again just for you.

 The Dems used to be antiwar in the same way that the GOP used to be the party of fiscal restraint: mostly talk, but at least they did pretend to care. 
 I never had this energy before. 
I've only become anti war because the Jews.

 Show me a post about Yemen you did? 
 I'm sure you made one about the Ukraine, but I'd love to see it as well.  
 All war is terrible and wrong. Yemen included. 

The US v is litaq. All of it. 

Are there justifications that countries can use. Sure. Does that make it right? No 

 
 Yes but where are your posts? I need to see em 🫣 
 I didn't make one specifically for Yemen. 

But I've been antiwar since my formative years. 

The closest I came to supporting war was 9/11 because it was a retaliation for something that happened to us. Do I had personal stake in it. 

But once you figure out that who we targeted has nothing to do with what happened. 

You can easily see we were in the wrong. On so so many ways more than just morally.  
 Yemen is the deadliest conflict on Earth 🌍. 
 Tell me about it 
 No, you tell me about it 😭 
 Are you really crying (I know You're not irl. But I'm emoji) because I don't talk about Yemen specifically? 

Is that what will make you happy?  
 Well @ShiShi21m

I value you as someone I follow. You're funny and smart and clever. 

But I don't appreciate you trying to police what topics come across my mind. That's a very fascist tactic. Big leftoid "DENOUNCE WHITE SUPREMACY" type energy. 

But like I said. I value you as someone I follow. (Who cares if you follow me. I like your stuff.) So for you I'll post about Yemen. And repost it so it's not just here in this thread. 

To the extent that I've heard/researched, Yemen is suffering from it at least extremely close to famine and this has being going on since like 2013 it so because of (civil?) war. The war is much older though I think. Like since the 2000s I think. The Houthis area rebel group at the heart of this. But even then Saudi Arabian has come in to handle things only making things exponentially more bloody. Annnnnd isn't Yemen the first place the US ever did drone strikes? So that doesn't help at all.

21 million people need food and medicine.
About 5 million women and children were displaced from their homes. There are few shelters, and even fewer not run by the government displacing people in the first place.

And what is it all about? Trade routes. Pretty sure.

And ALL war is terrible. And no one should support ANY of them especially if they're are other means available to work things out. 

But I'm sure I could learn much more about Yemen. But you don't need to know much to know what's happening there is sickening and we shouldn't support it. 🤷🏽 
 Yeah this is my point, not to police what youre saying but to drive home a point about current thingenomics.

I have nothing but love for everyone and hope the wars end, but hope is a funny thing sometimes it gets dim..

I think in 60 years we'll have a Bitcoin standard and world peace (under my definition, hard to define). 
 PS. American weapons have been given to Saudi this entire time.

Not a single protest. 
 American weapons are given to both sides on every conflict whether we sell them directly or leave them there from wars past giving rise to our own worst enemies. 

We created isis. 

It's. All. Wrong.  
 I hope so. 

Last year on Nostr Walker told me "every sat you get is cash that can't take from me to pay for war." 

And that struck me in a big way.  
 All you ever didn't want to know because war is hell: https://www.antiwar.com/regions/regions.php?c=Yemen 
 That sentence though. 

More true than ever.  
 Syria.

Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria.

All an order of magnitude more deaths than Israel v Gaza Lebanon Syria Yemen Iran 
 geopolitics is the deadliest conflict on earth fren. thats a scuffle 
 Not if everyone remembers what it was like as fledgelings. Before real civilization. When you would see other ginger being and you'd hide in fear wondering what they'll do and if you need to defend yourself. 

Stay out of each other's business🤷🏽

You do you Imma do me. 

And if you come at me be prepared because I'm ready.
