Just think if there is a civil war in the US its an internal matter and NATO decideds to intervene and destroy everything and shutdown all the air ports and sea ports. This is whats happening in my country if we don't want the Houthis we will fight them we dont need anyone to help us we stood against the Ottomans, Romans, Persians, Absynnians and the Brirish we don't need help we will solve or own problems just like we have been doing in the past 5000+ years. We have had many revolutions and rebbelions and got rid of any leader we think is bad if we decide the Houthi is bad we will get rid of him just like every other bad leader in the past. But this intervention has only given the Houthis more local support when you see 11+ countries bombing your country killing civillians you will volunteer to fight against them no matter what. I personally know and knew people who fought and some died fighting with the Houthis they dont get paid they dont get anything they fight for their country and when the Houthis has people like them on their side he can't be defeated and this war can go on for decades. We decide what we want in our country not any other country. Thank you Phillip for making this video and bringing awareness to what's happening in Yemen.

Many people should and do question US involvement in situations like these where it feeds the very crisis it seeks to resolve. It is both why and how the US was able to achieve the status of an economic superpower at such an early age. It destroys other countries from within and without, preventing them from having a seat at the table (UN. The sad truth, even in this scenario, is that it takes a privately owned superpower to step in and do the right thing. Non-profits and human rights activists are nothing more than publicity stunts aimed at generating funds for their parent organizations. It takes an almost fictional approach of Stark-like proportions to not only end hostilities, but to rebuild. Just once Id like to read about the UN doing something productive that wasnt inspired by an apocalyptic event. I have yet to witness powerful countries banding together to help pull third world countries out of darkness using infrastructure, education, and innovation during a time of prosperity. We have the resources to not only stop whats happening, but to prevent it from ever happening again. The problem is, if all countries were equal, we wouldnt need a UN. People in power cannot fathom a world where no one could be told what to do.

Brazil about to invade Venezuela because the US is using sanctions to block medicine already paid for by the Venezuela government from going into the country. The US paid for those rebel protesters who killed like 15 politicians and only a few of their side died. The US is doing deals with Israel as they steal and invade Palestine while air striking Syria Iraq and have attacked other near by nations even threatening Iran creating the conflict that our media has sculpted against Iran. Saudi Arabia is supplying isis Al Qaeda and Syrian rebels all funded by the US with Saudi people. While Saudi Arabia also is invaded Yemen the US government protects the poppyseeds in Afghanistan for the pharmaceutical companies profit while bullying locals. The United States will start pushing war efforts into South America again as theyve done before by acting on fear mongering and then take Venezuelas oil which is the biggest reserves in the world. Also Libya is in a slave trade problem thanks to the US.

I really liked the voice-over portion of this video and thought it was well produced. It would be awesome to get the occasional deep dive into a topic when the subject matter is too intertwined and complicated for a high-level overview to paint an accurate picture. That being said, any time you try to compress such a complicated issue into an 8 minute video there will always be information left out. I would super excited if the team put together a 30 - 40 minute standalone version of this video (or on a topic of similar complexity moving forwards) to be used almost as background reading for topics that Phil then can discuss later at more detail without having to worry about catching people up to speed. The information is important, but what sets Phil apart from other news sources is the conversation, so maximize the conversation airtime on topics like this that matter so much. Love the work and please keep it up

Hi PhilipI really don't know how to express my gratitude. The war in Yemen is now well known as the forgotten war because for about four years the media kept ignoring this dirty war. As you mentioned the American defense ministry declared that the peace talks should begin within a month. A month has already passed, witb sign for any talks. America apparently doesn't this war to stop for one simple reason. I mean can you Imagine the amount of money America is making through selling arms to the Saudis? They have said what they said about stoping the war only to reduce the international pressure and embarrassment put on the it and to pave the way for a new round of fight. I hope that you make a follow up video in regard to the latest developments related to peace talks in Sweden.

This was incredibly, incredibly well done I was looking and waiting for a source on Cody's coverage but was surprised when one wasn't provided. I thought this may have been a CBS or even BBC production given how well the topics were covered and the great amount of CITED research gathered. A slight transition before the research portion would've made the video flow a bit better (and also draw more focus from the audience I presume (so people, like me, aren't looking for where this stuff is coming from. Hats off to you all. Cody, well done my friend. Phil & team: more please. :)

Why should Americans care about Yemen? It is sad to me that people ask that question and that people need an explanation. Human life is being lost pointlessly. Shouldn't it be obvious why we should care? Why is it hard for people to think of and care for others even when they are around the world? Any situation like this deserves EVERYONE attention and outrage. Thanks for the video and helping me be informed Are there any links to how we can support the efforts of organizations working in Yemen?

mind your own buissness please. so iran funds and creates this extremist group that is targeting poor Yemenis and want it to spread to the rest of the country and the rest of the gulf countries and you expect us to stand and watch it happen? saudi arabia offers food health care and everything to yemen. go interview a yemeni from sanah. ask him about the UAE and saudi arabia. instead of blaming iran you blame saudi arabia. either you get the facts right or not get involved.

Looking forward to more world coverage from the Pretentious News Network(tm) We need to discuss the uncomfortable, advertiser un-friendly topics, and I will watch your videos and support your endeavors to share information. As the age old media institutions are torn down around us, there are great things (and scary things too) sprouting in their place. Be prepared for their attempts to influence you, because they will inevitably come. they know that you are the future.
