since the discussion is about relation between EU and member states

The place the houthis striked is so far from Yemen though

what the fuck is houthis

are they a division of Yemen's military or are they are terror group funded by a government like Qatar

They’re an ethnic group that was part of the coalition that overthrew Yemen’s last American backed strongman. Now they’re being opposed in Yemen by Saudi backed forces and some of the other gulf states.

right also why do the Saudi's think overthrowing the government in Yemen is even a slightly good idea, did no one learn anything from iraq

Because Iran is funding their puppets there

@Anubis What is this channel for?

I don't see where did politics went to?

@yordanyordanov read the title bar

or the pin

It used to be in the xenoi section, now i come cack ocan't see it anymore?

ill you guys put politics back in the xenoi and where did the debates go?

Yemen was in a state of disarray for a long time. It's just that under Obama, Iran got cocky and started pushing harder in Yemen.

@Anubis I mean if I want to have a *theoretical* kind of discussion like anarchism vs fascism is there any place I can have it here?

But then Donald got into office and is best buddy with Saudis and they started pushing back.

Will this be the correct channel or should I just go to the long walls for everything?

Here, <#613769462633463808>, <#613767975614283832>

doesnt really matter

OK.

this is the "other" pol channel so its fine to do here

Oh yeah i think my article i posted was kinda lost in the convo
But saudi is reportedly cutting HALF their oil production

Big if true

It's just that now politics become so regionalized there is no place for those really interesting fundamental discussions on political theory we used to have here.

Indeed.

Should be a theory channel

What's the purpose of that?

(cutting oil)

@Drywa11 Yes, there should be.

This is the theory channel

Politics isn't just the regional differences between countries.

and the everything else channel

"all other politics"

This is why we have courses on political theory.

It adds whole new dimension to political discussions.

Who's getting Oil from saudis? US is net exporter, so China, Japan etc.?

If every other channel starts with a region/country then one would assume the “other” channel would be about the areas not covered.

If you think about it hard enough, your brain will set fire to your body. We dont want that

Europe probably
