Yemen Supreme Political Council's Mohammed al-Houthi (AI translation):
"You are protecting genocide. Today, the Americans and the British, their first and last goal is to eliminate the Palestinians."
"If America had not fought us, we would have doubted our faith. But if America stands to fight us, it is a pride that we are fighting an enemy of the world, an enemy that incites wars, terrorism and problems all over the world."
"We did not find anything from America or Britain except murder, destruction and terrorism. The tragedy of Palestine, from its beginning to its end, is the result of the policy and injustice that the British committed against our people in Palestine."
"The plane that bombed us in 2015 is the same plane that bombed us last week. The missiles that exploded are the same missiles that have exploded on us for 9 years. The bombs they bombed us with are the same bombs we were bombed with by the US and Saudi Arabia for 9 years. They have nothing new. The more we are bombed, the more power we have."

Founders who are super rich on paper manage to take loans to fund their lifestyle: private planes, multiple homes, etc. Why is that ok to do with paper wealth but you can’t pay tax?
The answer is obvious: the first benefits the individual, the second benefits society, and this new class of oligarchs sees itself as apart from society.
You guys had unchecked power to target all the fraud you could find. It was called DOGE, staffed by the best and brightest from your industry and run by your king.
Now you’re saying the super rich won’t pay a wealth tax until you find the fraud?
One of the toilets built just for the sake of headlines. It exists only on paper. It exists only on all those beautiful infographics that his cult consumes. It has served its purpose, for that was it was built for.
