Nobody cares about some desert land. If you have the population you rule the country.

What is internationally recognized is not relevant. If Iran recognizes something we don't care either.

The fact is that America is not just conducting some "special military operation" in the middle east. They are actively at war defending israel's Genocide.

I'm not disagreeing that the US is doing that. I just don't know the veracity of calling the Houthis the biggest political faction.

I also don't know that war is the correct term, but that's more of a semantics difficulty of the 21st century. Supplying arms vs conducting airstrikes vs ground invasions -- I agree with what you're saying overall though. The US is helping Israel, and Israel is committing genocide.

I really don't think this is germaine though to the topic of Russian propaganda in the Ukraine war.
