Wtf is going on in Yemen? How is media comparatively silent about this?
Why the fuck do I have to go to right-wing websites to get legit information about usage of depleted uranium, chemical WMDs or IDF involvement?
And most importantly, is this a fucking neutron bomb?
youtu.be
As one of the comments says
There was one prior incident of Israel, along with South Africa, being suspected of testing nuclear weapons with each other, as every detonation can be picked up on satellite, but the camera would be getting a lot of visual distortion from a close range nuke, and the mushroom clouds are just something associated with nukes, rather than an exclusive trait they have.
That's not a neutron bomb. However, I hope Riyadh gets hit with a neutron bomb.
It's a strategically placed country whose pro Western/Saudi government was overthrown for being really shitty. The Saudis have been trying to defeat the rebels there for the past two or three years the American way, by funding their faction and bombing the opposition. Lately the US has taken a greater role via drone and naval bombardment.
Because the right wing is more interested in the sado-masochistic "punishment" of Muslims? I don't know, what are they even saying? Post some fucking links.
Don't be so humble comrade. It's evident what Riyadh is deserving of.
Some good old soviet glory.
Neutron bombs are supposed to be smaller yield than real nukes but they couldn't be that small. Yemeni goat farmers have never seen anything bigger than grenades and IEDs explode before, that's all.
There actually was static and an overheating of the camera:

I don't know, maybe this?

Genocide.
Republicans and Democrats both want it, so no media debate.
It would probably be because those sites are against Obama. Look for a subtle shift now that Trump is in charge. A bit more liberal coverage, and a bit less conservative coverage.
Nope, it's an ammo depot iirc.
...
thats not a neutron bomb, its a large conventional explosive. probably a VBIED or an ammo dump exploding
I hear quite a bit about the war in Yemen in Britain due to the fact that the Conservative party is selling jets, bombs, rockets and missiles to the Saudis who are in turn using it on civilians and Houthis.
Because it doesn't support a good narrative, i.e. "Western nations supporting Saudi Arabia bombing the shit out of a neighbouring nation to support a local puppet regime"
Only autistic policywonk types that think the world is an IRL grand strategy game support that shit
are tankies this stupid?
Because its hard af to get reporters in and because there is no good side to support. Not everything not reported by the media is because shadowy cabals are controlling the media.
The media is silent because it's US allies commiting atrocities, like murdering civilians.
Yemen is in chaos right now, as it's a scene in the mini cold war of Saudi Arabia and Iran, both wanting to control the region.
Children are born with deformities
Reunification was a mistake.
Yeah but that didn't stop them in Syria, did it?
anyone got articles about this?
It was possible to get journalists into rebel areas till 2014 or something like that. Nowadays its almost impossible. Also there was a clear good-bad narrative at the beginning which only later broke down. While in Yemen that never really existed. Turkish journalists can still get into the ES area and its sometime possible to get people into Rojava. Also there are far more local journalists which are better connected and have more experience than in Yemen.
But ultimately journalists for major news corporations aren't the tail that wags the dog, they cover what they get sent to cover. It's not so much an absence of journalists as that there's ultimately no "good" narrative for major news corporations to push on Yemen like there was in Syria (aka "Evil Russia-aligned tyrannical dictator Assad versus noble, righteous revolutionaries that are completely averse to radical Islam")
Many modern war journalists are poor exploited free lancers. Same goes for many "analysts" that have to whore out their believes or get only selected because of their believes to get into one of the few ok paying jobs. Very few bigger newspapers still have the money to pay for corrospondents in the regions so they have to rely on quickly depatched people that dont know the region and believe everything they are told. Or they literally just copy social media. Capitalism truly killed decent media and it shows everywhere.
That's a Saudi lie. Iran has done basically nothing in Yemen.
jesus fucking crhist, those pictures make me feel ill. What's doing this, the depleted uranium? something else?
ffs, where do I go to follow this shit?
I only learned my syrian sources when aleppo was about to fall, i need to be clued up on Yemen from the get go
Old video. That's basically what happens if you explode a larger ammunition / explosives stockpile.
The problem with journalism regarding conflicts is that the news outlet reviews your work and decides what they will air. There have been plenty of instances that reporters their stories get twisted in a way by the editorial staff to push a certain narrative.
My guess is chemical attacks. Depleted uranium still doesn't have a very high radioactivity. It's mostly used to penetrate stuff like tanks due to depleted uranium being much harder than other material.
Yeah, I wasn't meaning to blame the journalists in that post, just that most of the time (especially in major news outlets) they don't have much control over what actually gets reported
Reminder that the US has been dropping depleted uranium all over the middle east.
Here is the thing man, there are basically hundreds of videos of really odd looking explosions and weird happenings out there (have looked at the newborn children?) yet I can't find a single sincere source about it besides right-wing or fringe stuff.
You'd think with the whole "fake news" bullshit they would put effort into debunking some of these claims but they don't. I guess the MSM really has absolutely no idea what's going on there and it certainly is a hot topic since US and Saudis (and Israelis?) are clearly the bad guys there. But honestly, there is no reason why Yemen would not get the same coverage Syra got. This really is a genocide, targeting the weakest of the weakest.
Long live the southern movement, tbh.
Because the entire purpose of the "fake news" meme was to attack Trump's campaign and far-right organisations/people associated with his campaign
If Breitbart publishes an article about Saudi neutron bombs devastating Yemen all the autistic fact-checking types would swarm it, but otherwise who cares
I'd be highly skeptical of this claim, user. Your sources could literally just be propaganda. But in any case, I think Saudi is using chemical weapons, so it wouldn't be surprising if that's the cause.
Horrible. The use of depleted uranium in warfare is so fucking evil.
Afaik Iran is arming the Houthi, but that is probably a good thing.
Oh wow, that is pretty evil, be it chemical bombs or uranium bombs.
It's probably not uranium munition like the US used under Bush and Obama and probably still does.
You're wrong. Stop believing bullshit MSM lies.
Depleted Uranium has a very low amount of radioactivity, less than natural uranium, because the (more valuable) radioactive isotopes have been isolated already.
But its still a heavy metal like lead, so chemistry alone could still poison you or cause birth defects.
Interesting, do you have a link? I don't follow the MSM so I never heard them talk about Iran and Houthi.
I piece together information from various sources like southfront.
Based Houthis will make Yemen great again and cuck the saudis in the meanwhile, inshallah
To think Iran wouldn't put it's finger on the scale to undermine Saudi interests in Yemen is pretty naive. Where did the Houthis get their Kornet rockets?
The Saudis are forcibly starving the Houthis by bombing their ports, farms, and playing fuck-fuck games with the Yemeni central bank. Tens of thousands of Yemenis are currently starving to death but you won't hear a peep out the the media about it. At least not on the same level we were bombarded with Aleppo stories. Literally a repeat of the imbalanced coverage Cambodia received compared to East Timor.
I thought that this is what the left hates about the USA
The true face of the US empire: twisted, bloated, grotesque
It's next to Saudi Arabia, ofcourse there is shit going on there
That's like saying Christianism it doesn't make any sense when there are Catholics, Reformists, Protestants, Jehova Witnesses, Baptist church etc.
In case anyone wants see the birth defects get even worse…

Never claimed that, but seeing how often ironic support for groups becomes real because uninformed people parrot bullshit I can allready see people trying to call the Houthis socialists.
We must support the Houthis against s*udi imperialism, disregard their ideology.
We should support a ceasefire to this imperialist war and immediate aid so these innocent people can breathe for a goddamn second. Anyone willing to support the Houthis should go fight with them themselves
wrong board m8 try /saud/
probably would still result in beheading though even if it serves their purposes.
...
You understand the Houthis are fighting the government right? They're able to seize weapons from them. Also, many "Houthi rocket" new stories are bullshit.
didn't want to see but clicked anyway. jesus christ.
You realize the Yemeni military doesn't have Kornet rockets, right? You realize the Yemeni military was armed by the West, right? You realize there are videos of Houthis using the Kornets against Yemeni Abrams, right? You realize that Iran is the biggest proliferator of Kornets in the region, right?
