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?

I would guess that that is an attempt at a response to the US bombing of Yemen.

I will admit that I'm surprised about the Erbil launch.

Ansarallah still isn't a puppet for Iran, and they are the ruling party of Yemen.
