Meanwhile all those dead Yemenis don't even warrant a mention, especially since it might have poeple asking why we were over there helping kill them in the first place
The war in Yemen had very little coverage in the West. People are talking about all the drones being used in Ukraine, but they'd been using drones with similar devastating effecet in Yemen - the main difference being they tended to target people rather than tanks.
See, Yemen is a bad place where bad things are allowed to happen. By Western logic stuff only becomes real if it enters our imaginary bubble of perpetual safety. That's also why 9/11 and the Ukraine invasion got such a big reaction.
To be clear, the bubble is not real, it can all happen here.
