US, UK bomb Houthi sites in Yemen amid surge in Red Sea ship attacks
US and UK forces hit 18 Houthi targets including underground weapons and missile storage facilities, officials say.
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.
Red sea attacks... so just leave out the US soldiers killed.
Different group. Turns out, lots of people in that region hate the US!
Disrupting trade is punishable by death.
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.
My plan is to force Israel to stop the genocide.
And they aren't shutting down all global trade. Just ships going to or from Israel. Sanctions, essentially.
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.
If you hold opinions as dumb as this one, I can't say I have sympathy for whatever may come your way
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.
All brown people are the same ig
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.
4th time since January
Ah my bad.
Houthi/Ansarallah are the main Yemeni government though, with over 80% of the population under their governance with popular support. Regardless of whether foreign countries or those supporting the genocide recognize that or not.
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.
Which sources don't you consider propaganda?
Whatever their mommy tells them when they get their diapers changed.
