    These latest strikes in Syria and Iraq are playing incredibly badly across the world, outside of the US. Especially in the global South. Those countries have gone through two years of being scolded by the West over not taking sides against Russia for violating Ukrainian sovereignty. This just confirms the already popular view that those arguments were nothing but hypocrisy.

      News to me that the Houthis are the recognised government of Yemen that could claim sovereignty. Also what are your sources on the perception of the strikes in the Global South? Why should a person in lets say Laos care more about Yemenis than Ukrainians? As a conflict it’s similarly distant from their own lifes.
