    The recent US and UK actions can be taken as examples on how to cure the symptom while making the disease worse

      Here’s an idea:

      The Houthi’s can just not launch missiles at ships

        I’m tired of this kind of lazy rhetoric.

        Why are the Houthi’s committing violence?

        I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.

        Instead of spending 1.2 billion dollars bombing them, maybe purchasing 600 million dollars of their chief export would be a better idea.

        Empower the legitimate businesses and the people in the region who aren’t launching missiles instead of ravaging the region and creating a new generation of ‘militant rebels’.

            This what? These people are religious fanatics so self absorbed in superstition and nonsense that they will literally blow themselves up and kill a bunch of people just out having breakfast because they don’t like the hours of operation one group sets for a pile of rocks some other group wants to visit on one day but not on another day. It is their utter lack of empathy and rationality that makes them evil pieces of shit. They aren’t fucking freedom fighters standing up for innocent people. They are morons who want religious control over their own people and every other person, absolute male domination of women in society, minority rule, and the ethnic cleansing of Jewish people from the middleeast.

            With the support of useful idiots as you, of course.

              Which books or sources have you read or studied to classify a sub set of people in such a precise manner?

          The Houthi are the Proud Boys of Yemen.

          After 1/6, instead of arresting the insurrectionists, maybe we should have bought more Proud Boys merchandise? That’s your solution to religious extremists attempting to overthrow the government?

            Yemen’s chief export is Proud Boys merch?

            Didn’t know that.

            Thanks for informing me and not just being a murderous troll.

            If that’s the case, just nuke Yemen. Explosives are the only real fix for social issues.

              I was comparing religious extremists in the US who attempted to overthrow the US government with the Houthi who are doing the same in Yemen. The Houthi aren’t the official Yemen government. They are a religious faction who are attempting to overthrow the Yemeni government.

                Then why did you take my point, employ and empower legitimate Yemen businesses and buy their chief export, flip it around, and say that I was suggesting buying Proud Boy’s merch?

                  Sorry, I interpreted it as supporting the Houthi. That is buy Houthi products from Houthi businesses.

                  You didn’t say Yemeni in your reply.

          Spending 1.2 billion on bombing campaigns keeps 1.2 billion in the American economy. Giving another country 600 million only exports money from their grasp.

          Peace is not the point of the war machine.

            I want to stop murdering bad people and I want to start rewarding good people.

            Nowhere did I suggest giving the bad people money.

            Watch a man get strong and push thugs out when he has a dollar to defend.

                    You keep goalpost moving and acting obtuse.

                    Your bombs have collateral damage. Your bombs kill the little girl. Your bombs create more extremists to perpetuate what you (very disingenuously) object to.

                    The bottom line is you just want to perpetuate suffering, kill people, and keep military contractors rich.

          Who do you think is funding, training and otherwise supporting Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis?

          This isn’t Netanyahu’s war either, of course. For as much as he’s a bastard, any Israeli leader, no matter where they are on the political and moral spectrum, would have reacted to the October 7 massacres with a full-on war with the aim to completely destroy Hamas as an organization. There is no other possible reaction to it.

        Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.

          How do the Houthis know which ships are going to Israel? Can you prove they’ve only attacked ships bound for Israel?

          Why is there a 39 nation coalition organizing against the Houthis? Aren’t a lot of those nations opposing Israel’s current actions?

          Do you know the Houthis slogan of, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the Jews, Victory to Islam”?

          You’re fighting for the wrong side buddy
