It speaks volumes about you as a person, that you have more respect for people you find have evil morales and ideas than someone you find uninformed and simplistic. It probably explains your geopolitical stance too.

So stomping your feet and using a lot of words to call me stupid fits into the picture.

I cannot imagine Iran wants the current chaos to stop. The board is stacked against them so they have all the incentive to throw it over, or at least watch as someone else does it.

Yemen is 2 factions pitted against eachother so calling it a country with its own interests kinda overlooks the fact that the 2 factions have very different interests.

It's possible to respect the abilities of someone you consider evil. You should always give your enemies as much respect as they are due. Otherwise you underestimate them.

Iran does not want chaos. A smaller power with a more powerful enemy rarely wants chaos. Nation States never do. They are inherently conservative in that aspect for obvious reasons.

Holding a city doesn't make you a faction. It means that Ansarallah recognized that winning outright would require fighting their own people, and so they stopped when they did and switched to diplomacy. This is like saying the US has 8 (or however many, I'm not looking it up) political parties. It's not wrong, but there are only 2 that have any power and saying otherwise would be a lie.

Don't whine about someone calling your opinions stupid when they corrected you without insults and you responded with insults. Stupid insults.

Your enemies.. oh mighty keyboard Warrior. Again it speaks volumes to who you are.

What a load of horse manure you are peddeling. Nothing about it is remotely true in this specific sense. Theory meets practice.

But fine you go ahead and fight the good Fight online. We will see how it turns out.

You really don't know how to read, do you?

So, hows the "Iran does not want chaos. A smaller power with a more powerful enemy rarely wants chaos. Nation States never do. They are inherently conservative in that aspect for obvious reasons." coming along?
