The U.S. military early Saturday struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen that it had determined was putting commercial vessels in the Red Sea at risk, two U.S. officials said, a day after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels.
I mean stop touching the damn boats. People be touching US boats like 4 times in history and it always turns out bad.
The Imperial Japanese Navy sank 8 US boats and we dropped the Sun on them. Twice.
That’s the problem, you touch a US boat and you get bombed, the US fucks an entire region over and they face no consequence
The Houthis are blocking Israeli ports in response to genocide.
Why were US ships going to the ports of a country actively committing genocide?
The US is now bombing a sovereign nation to stop trade sanctions on a genocide.
They’re attacking commercial shipping vessels passing through the suez canal that have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine or the US. If you knew how how to read or think you’d already know this.
You don’t get to seal off a critical global shipping route just because you happen to be living next to it and don’t like where some of the cargo is going. This isn’t like the bosphorous, even a recognized Yemeni government wouldn’t have control over who can transit the strait unless they invaded Djibouti
They weren’t. While you may disagree with US Navy hanging out in the area, they’re in international waters and not trying to go to Israel. You could argue that attacking US ships proves the blockade story is a farce
America has been supplying Saudi with weapons to attack the Houthis with for many years.
The Houthis didn’t lose.
Why are people so mad that someone is actually standing up for human rights? The demands of the Houthis are very reasonable.
What are the demands of the Houthis? I know they are Iranian-funded and trained, and that they’ve been warring with the Saudis for years. But now all of a sudden they are world news for attacking global shipping. I also know they say they are supporting the Palestinians, but that seems like a fig leaf.
Yemen wants Israel to end its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
It certainly looks like attention seeking and piracy for money
You write a lot of without knowing anything about the situation. Very interesting.
Please give me a different reason for the Houthis to attack shipping, it’s can’t be them standing up to genocide right? is it their scary religion which doesn’t mass murder kids in Gaza?
I’m not sure why your first instinct is to insult me when I just tried to engage you in conversation. Why are you even here if you don’t want conversation? Are you just looking for an echo chamber?
You can’t seriously be partaking in this conversation when you start with “bro what do the Houthis even want they’re just firing missles at ships randomly, they are an Iranian proxy fighting for no reason xddd”
Their demands were stated very clearly when they started. Stop the blockade and Genocide on Gaza.
“standing up for human rights”
Meanwhile, on the Houthis flags: “death to Israel, death to America, Jews are a curse upon the land”
You, a joke of a person who needs to look in the mirror and laugh at yourself: “very reasonable people”
We’re talking about their actions at this very moment. Not them as an organization.
If Kim Jong Un decided to block to Red Sea to support Palestinine instead of the Houthis it would be just as morally correct. If America did it too.
It’s about getting water, food and medicine to little children who are getting their legs amputated without anesthetics as if it’s a SAW movie.
The US is willing to kill untold number of people because otherwise the cheap shirts made by children in Bangladesh will arrive slightly late. I do hope for this evil empire to fucking die already.
For Bangladesh it’s probably faster to go east to get to the US. The majority of ships going through the Suez Canal are trading with Europe.
No civilians died in the first strikes, and I’m not aware of any sources claiming any civilian deaths in these strikes either, which is probably to be expected given that they were against a military air base.
Would you change your mind if Houthi soldiers died? What is civilians would die?
I’m not going to feel particularly bad about people with the slogan “Death to America, death to Israel, a curse on the Jews” being killed in combat in a retaliatory military strike.
