Ok so the Saudis purchased arms from is that they used to attack the Houti after the Houthi started the civil war and after they attacked KSA.
You are assigning the total dead in the Yemeni Civil War to Saudi Arabia and not the party that literally started the war, why? How can the people drawn into the war be responsible for all the dead and not the party that started the conflict? It is a civil war after all.
I would suggest you look into the history of this conflict since you keep claiming the perpetrators of the conflict are somehow victims.
The civil war started with the Arab spring the ousting of the president and the installation of a Saudi puppet against the wishes of the original protestors. Ansarallah formed as a response to that and even got the support of the original president. They have shown more interest in the well being of Yemeni people than Saudi Arabia and their genocidal campaign against the people of Yemen. Low bar for sure but easily cleared.
The US has backed KSA to the hilt in the conflict just as they have with Israel in Gaza. In a way even more so because the Saudi's are too fucking stupid to even select their own targets or refuel their jets. We've been basically holding their hands the entire way and they still lost.
Like Jesus Christ buddy, I'm an american. If I hadn't read up on this topic before I'd be giving you the bog standard jingoism that radiates this country.
The Civil War started when The Houthi Militia attacked the capital. They are the perpetrators of the whole conflict suggesting otherwise would be akin to suggesting it was the union’s fault that the confederates attacked Fort Sumner despite the obvious fact that one side started shooting first which in Yemen’s case is The Houthi.
You looked it up in what sources because it seems like you used trash tier ones.
