Two Navy SEALS Presumed Dead in Raid on Ship Carrying Iranian-Supplied Weapons
Two Navy SEALS Presumed Dead in Raid on Ship Carrying Iranian-Supplied Weapons
The pair were lost at sea while raiding a ship carrying ballistic missiles intended to reach the Houthis in Yemen, the U.S. says.
You're viewing a single thread.
Hmm, so does that mean Iran is justified in striking targets in the US under the guise of "protecting shipping lanes from terrorists attacking civilian ships"? Or is it only terrorism when brown people do it?
Trying to disarm an aggressor is not the same as attacking commercial ships.
Like the Ansar Allah trying to disarm Israel?
Why isn't halting a genocide more important than interrupting commercial shipping to you?
A couple of targeted strikes on houthi terrorists is genocide to you? How about stop being disingenuous.
Are you just playing at being daft..?
Here are some hints:
Per your second article, "The Houthis say they are targeting ships which are Israeli-owned, flagged or operated, or which are heading to Israeli ports. However, many have no connections with Israel."
Emphasis mine. So what exactly do they have to do with the Palestinian genocide? Sounds like they're just clout chasing and distracting from it.
Yes Israel, the countries illegally aiding genocide and ships heading there will be totally honest about which ships are going to their ports.
Hint: numerous ships with no indication on their manifests have made their way to Israeli ports to deliver weapons.
... So why did you link those articles?
Its almost like we were discussing the Houthi, their attacks on shipping and the motivations for those attacks.
Look if you can't follow a simple chain of comments lemmy isn't for you. I suggest childrens books with the age range of 3 to 5 years old for someone of your obvious capabilities.
You provided a source to explain how the Houthi attacks were related to the Palestinian conflict and how they were purportedly helping the Palestinian people.
Your source said despite the Houthis' claims, their attacks were on ships unrelated to Israeli.
You said, contrary to the article, that the ships were in fact related and they had been lying.
Unless I'm to understand, you're trying to have it both ways here, and saying the BBC is correct when they support your claim but the BBC is incorrect when they don't support your claim -- in the exact same article.
When your grade school writing teachers told you that your arguments and evidence made no sense and that you were actually undermining them, did you also insult them? It would certainly explain a lot about your argumentative capabilities if you belittled them instead of thinking to improve.
Your insult didn't even make sense, it would read better as: "I suggest childrens books with
thea suggested age range of 3 to 5 years old for someoneofwith your obvious deficiency in capabilities."By all means though, feel free to continue picking a fight with a pedantic engineer who's good with words. I haven't had a good laugh like this in ages.

I don't pick fight with toddlers who quickly resort to vacuous appeals to authority.
that the ships were in fact related and they had been lying.
Vessels have no reason to publicly tell the truth if that'll get missiles fired at them. I know this is hard to understand for a pea brained engineer but people lie. People are even more likely to lie when money and lives are on the line.
Maybe they didn't cover that in your courses, personally I hope they would, as people often lie about materials used in construction which is why so many regulations exist. I'm sure they aren't required with really smart engineers like you around though!
If your options are to list Israel on your manifest and eat Houthi missiles or lie and not eat missiles which do you choose? Now if you want to shut down shipping to Isreal you have a couple of options, intercept and search every vessel or target them all with missiles.
Given the US and UK naval presence boarding won't be an option. Jeez I wonder what the Houthi will choose.
You think the Houthi attacks are anything other than a tactic to distract the west from Ukraine? Read between the lines.
Yes surely Russia is somehow behind the Israeli decision to genocide Palestinians.
Don't play dumb, that's not what I said. Russia and Iran had a hand in the October attacks by the Palestinians which started this war however.
The entire IDF failed against a few dudes on a paraglider because RUSSIA DID IT!
This is just tinfoiling.
Have you read anything about the attacks? The IDF failed for the same reason USA failed on 9/11, they had intel and ignored it
Ok so you're telling me that the IDF works for Russia now?
Don’t capitulate to the dumb fuck propagandized Americans. They don’t have a serious bone in their bodies and their political positions are built on lies.
Fuck them and their murderous intentions.
You’re on the right side and history will smile on you.
You too friend. These people are supporting straight up Nazism now it's getting insane that they fail to see this.
That's an excellent question the Houthis have yet to answer.
Houthis have been answering it for going on ten years now. Just ask the Saudi princes who got fireballed down at the F1 track last year.
You're going to have to expand on how that was successful for them and how it answers the question.
Sending my nation's professional wet works crew to the other side of the world in order to assassinate some guys who took over a ship flagged to Panama, because it serves a national security interest to keep a cargo ship full of fleshlights from doing an end run around the Horn of Africa.
And if you question any of this shit, or suggest other nations can do it now too, you are no better than that guy the CIA backed to do freedom fighting in Afghanistan back in the 70s.
