Reminder that the Red Sea attacks have still resulted in zero casualties. In response, the US-UK has killed 22 fighters.
Disrupting trade is punishable by death.
It’s a gigachad move and the only morally correct thing to do when they’re supplying a genocide.
But they’re not just attacking ships supplying aid to Israel. They are attacking whatever passes by them. If it was to support Gaza, why would they have attacked a clearly marked Chinese ship?

At this scale? Yes. Fucking up global trade at this level hurts people all over the planet. The downstream pain reaches into millions of households.
And if that hurt isn’t enough for you, it’s clearly terrorism. And your plan is to let it stand because there haven’t been any deaths?
Damn those ships and countries should probably consider not supplying a genocide then.

That’s from the capitalist class hoarding all the wealth. We have more than enough resources to meet everyone’s needs otherwise. Know who to blame and direct your frustration at.
So is being gay if you’re in Yemen. I can’t say i have any sympathy for them. If you attack passing ships you can’t complain about retaliation.
Prevents poor country from progressing socially or economically through wars and genocides for decades
Complains about their lack of social progress
Bruh.
If you attack passing ships you can’t complain about retaliation
If you commit and support a fucking genocide you can’t complain about having your supplies blocked. Would you not support blocking supplies to nazi Germany either?
>wave a rainbow flag while murdering Muslim children by the thousands
“But why do Muslims hate gay people???”
Israel wrapped itself in a rainbow flag to attract liberal support, but they’re a homophobic society. They just do it for propaganda purposes; it tricks idiots into thinking Israel is good and stokes the fires of blowback across the Muslim world.
Picking a fight with a superpower is generally a poor idea. Killing military members - even in Jordan - might be considered a bit beyond mere commerce.
Edit: I did misremember the attackers in Jordan and thought that was part of the Houthi organization. The Houthi’s are attacking US warship(s) in the area, but haven’t directly killed an US service members that we know of/yet. The Jordan attack was (now that I’ve checked again) by one of the groups operating under the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
My only defense here is that all of these attacks on US and UK vessels (merchant and military) are in retribution for the US support of Israel. And, yes, there are a lot of groups backed by Iran and Iraq who are using the Israel-Hamas/Israel destruction of Gaza as an excuse to lash out at Western powers who (generally) provide support to Israel. My apologies for the error.
The US helped Saudi Arabia bomb the shit out of Yemen for a long time (search). I’m not properly educated about this myself but there are war crimes, starvation, a lot of shit. I mean you can’t keep up. But to them, enforcing sanctions against Israel creates local support, otherwise they are a pretty bad Islamist regime. The Houthis are also not proxys of Iran. So US bombing them probably helps them too internally.
But there is so much shit going on that it’s hard to keep up.
Dying empire flails impotently in support of a genocide, more at 11
This is the fourth time they’re bombing Yemen since the Yemeni government started blocking ships supplying “israel”
4th time since January. The Houthis (not the Yemeni government) have been attacking ships in the Red Sea since October/November.
After more than 30 years of dropping bombs on similar groups you would think the U.S.A would realize it doesn’t work. The military has become a joke. Things like this just embolden bigger nations. Iran, Russia, North Korea, and soon China (don’t believe they want armed aggression, at least not yet).
Let’s tell Ukraine what they can and can’t do with weapons provided. Meanwhile Israel get to do whatever the fuck it wants bombing civilians to kill a few potential targets. More will just take their place. If Israel wants more weapons and money they should go ask their Russians friends.
Hey cool, another propaganda community to block.
