I think a more important question is whether Yemen still exists as as single coherent political entity with the same borders as seen on ANY of those maps, which given the present situation, it clearly does not.

Presumably they're referring to stuff like this: <a href="https://www.hrw.org/report/2026/07/21/a-dangerous-partnership/abuses-unanswered-questions-and-us-ecuador-security" rel="nofollow">https://www.hrw.org/report/2026/07/21/a-dangerous-partnershi...
> documents three incidents that saw ordinary people subjected to abuses, including drone strikes, torture, and arbitrary detention. In a fourth case, a fishing boat and most of its crew went missing amid signs of another attack.
That is unfortunate.
Are you going to bother to mention the millions who have been affected by imported drugs?
If you want to live somewhere suspected drug dealers get summary execution in the streets and death sentences, move to the Philippines or China. Don't try to bring that nonsense here.
If you want to live somewhere South Sudanese get about in shopping centres with machetes, car jacking, and stabbing people on the streets…
Maybe don’t come to Australia.
Sooner or later, the West needs to wake up and realise that empathy for the offenders over empathy for the victims, hasn’t worked.
And that includes meth and heroin dealers.
Marijuana, meh, stupid drug anyway. But I know too many people who used weed long term and now have chronic psychosis, so yeah that ain’t great.
That's a problem with your local law enforcement failing to enforce the law. Crime has been dropping where I live almost every year I've been alive, and that's all about opportunity and jobs rather than jackbooted thugs delivering vigilante justice.
