Yemen Shows -Again- The Age of Cowering Before the West's Military Might has Ended
Yemen leads the final unseating and destruction of a genocidal system of Western racial domination and capitalist inequality that has become the overriding threat to our collective survival.
As the world bore witness to Yemen's tectonic strike on the heart of the Zionist entity today, a profound truth was laid bare. The poorest nation on this beleaguered planet has arisen to become the last remaining bastion protecting humanity from the endless, rapacious hunger of Western imperialism.
With its hypersonic missile slicing through the air at 10 times the speed of sound, Yemen's defiant roar shattered the intolerable, almost one-year-long silence surrounding Palestine's unfolding genocide. It pierced the sanitized rhetoric about Israel's perpetual "right to defend itself" by searing into the global consciousness that resistance, by any means necessary, is the only remaining option for the oppressed.
Let us not mince words - Yemen's action represents nothing less than the opening salvo of a new stage in the centuries-old war of Western colonization against the world's poor and disinherited masses. A stage where even the wretched of the earth, whose barefooted children still play amidst American bombs, now possess the power to unmask the limitations of the Empire's might.
The Age of Cowering Before the West's Military Might is Over
Yemen's heroic action today - and all those before it - puts the oppressed peoples across the Global South on notice - the age of cowering before the West's military might has ended. Any nation that does not follow suit by marshaling its own defenses against imperialist barbarism has abdicated its very claim to sovereignty and self-determination. The peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America have now born witness to Yemen courageously spitting in the face of the Empire's genocidal juggernaut Israel. To not join Yemen in this righteous resistance is to openly accept one’s subjugation as one of the many slaves to Empire.
Indeed, what could be more humbling for the arrogant architects of U.S. hegemony than the abject failure of their vaunted air defense systems, impotent before the fury of Yemeni moral outrage?
Yemen's defiant actions represent the only moral path forward as the West can no longer mask its crimes and hypocrisy. The undeniable reality that has revealed itself before all of our eyes is that the West’s so-called ‘freedom and democracy’ are explicitly and cynically applied only to a privileged, wealthy white minority within its own borders, while subjecting the vast global majority to terrorism, occupation, plunder, torture, rape and oppression on an unfathomable scale in service of corporate Empire.
The Human Spirit's Unquenchable Thirst for Liberation
In this moment of unprecedented Palestinian suffering, it has fallen to the people of Yemen - victims of near-apocalyptic Western aggression themselves - to strike the most profound blow for human dignity witnessed in generations. Their message is one of redemptive fire, torching the racist arrogance that presumes only the self-appointed ‘civilizers’ of the West may employ violence with impunity.
When even the most destitute and downtrodden can marshal forces to threaten the very existence of history's most rapacious colonial powers, it is the ultimate affirmation of the human spirit's unquenchable thirst for liberation. It is a resounding declaration that the rules of the imperialist chess board have been upended for good - and that the checkmate move is in the hands of the global underclass.
The Final Unseating of the Western System of Genocide
Yes, the baton has now been passed to the world's wretched to complete that most hallowed of human revolutions - the final unseating and destruction of a genocidal system of Western racial domination and capitalist inequality that has become the overriding threat to our collective survival.
And in that glorious undertaking, in that timeless struggle to resurrect from the ashes a world united in justice and dignity, Yemen has marked itself as the sacred vanguard. The poorest nation has become the richest example for all of us to follow who believe this planet must be reclaimed from the talons of Empire and born anew.
We have been warned - and we have been shown the way. Which of us now has the courage to walk Yemen's path to liberation?
