US-Backed Forces Fight US-Backed Forces in Yemen
Funny how this 'major confrontation' isn't between two sovereign nations, but between two factions heavily armed and supported by the very same benevolent supplier: the United States. While the mainstream frames this as a regional kerfuffle, it's really the latest episode of Washington's 'pick-a-side, any-side' special, ensuring endless demand for Lockheed Martin's finest. The Saudi coalition,
armed with US F-15s and F-16s, just bombed UAE-backed forces who are themselves often equipped with US-made M-ATVs and Humvees. (Source: Al-Monitor, January 2026). We fund both sides, directly or indirectly, then wring our hands at the ensuing violence. How many layers of proxy must a war have before we stop calling it 'stability operations'? Oh, right, probably when the defense contractors run
out of innovation (read: never).
