I read through this, and honestly, I don’t understand the logic… "We are proud people, we can survive this crisis. It’s up to the USA to take care of us."

You say you’re proud, but you’re also relying on the US to fix your problems? That’s not pride, that’s dependence. You live in a shithole where people can barely afford food, not because of some unavoidable fate, but because the people running your country are corrupt and incompetent. Worse, they let foreign powers turn your land into their battleground, and you just go along with it instead of dealing with them.

Yes, the terror designation on the Houthis makes things even harder, but let’s not pretend this crisis wasn’t already in full swing before that. The Houthis are Iran’s religious nutjob proxies, dragging the entire country into war while your leaders either enable it or are too weak to stop it. Yemen is a mess because of the people running it, not because the U.S. called someone a terrorist.

Pride is great and all, but maybe channel it into actually fixing things instead of just enduring misery like it’s some badge of honor. Deal with your own shit before pointing fingers at others.
