The targeting of another U.S.-owned commercial ship Wednesday shows the militant group remains intent on continuing its attacks in the face of multiple rounds of U.S. military airstrikes.
The Houthis launched anti-ship ballistic missiles at the U.S.-owned, flagged and operated commercial ship Maersk Detroit as it was transiting the Gulf of Aden, according to a statement from the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Gravely shot down two missiles and a third fell into the water. There were no indications of damage or injuries in the attack.
The U.S. military has been conducting airstrikes against the Houthis to degrade their capabilities since Jan.11, after several weeks of attacks on commercial ships by the militant group.
Not without killing a shitload of innocent civilians, which is THE most effective way to create MORE terrorism.
What’s the current civilian death count with these strikes? Like average
Innocent civilians? You’re just talking out of your ass now. These strikes are on launch sites not a town square.
By hitting launch sites innocent ships can pass without being attacked and killed
Create more terrorism where? These people are in increasingly small, llittle spit of sand that nobody gives a fuck about. And if the people there want the Houthis in charge, then they can share the sand with them. The walls will continue closing in and the bombs will continue falling wherever rockets are coming from.
^This is what a villain would say
Actually a villian will subjugate women and minorites, force them to wear black robes and burkas in the fucking desert sun, and then launch rockets at civilians left and right. That’s your people! You should go fucking live with them.
Why are you arguing that genocide is moral if it is done to an oppressed people?
The taliban is an evil governing party. Does that mean we can murder all Afghans? The answer is no
By that same logic, it is immaterial if Hamas is evil; that does not justify the genocide of Palestinians.
All this does is create more anti-Zionist Palestinians from the survivors and make a permanent peace deal even less likely. Which is wrong, and is grounds for the imprisonment of Netanyahu and the ban of Likud
