    Reminder that the Red Sea attacks have still resulted in zero casualties. In response, the US-UK has killed 22 fighters.

      Attacking civilian ships is generally considered a dick move.

        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?

            Pretty sure they stopped attacking Chinese and Russian ships since they stopped supplying “israel” and co. through the Red Sea after the Yemeni gov told them to. There were a few misfires after that but for the most part they’re left alone.

            Hell, a br*tish ship misqueraded as a Chinese ship a few days ago to avoid being attacked. Probably why Yemen is ending up hitting a few Chinese ships too.

            Regardless, China has condemned the US and UK’s bombing of Yemen. As anyone with a hint of morals should.

              Curious how you logic justifies their attacks on western ships, but not the west’s response to these attacks.

                  And if you don’t want to be retaliated against, don’t attack ships.

                  You seem to be conflating me condemning Houthi attacks on unarmed vessels as supporting Israel.

                  It is clear you only think in black and white. Especially if you’re calling Houthi gigachads, you might want to look into who you’re supporting.

            This is no different from sanctions if you bother to think about it. Sure it’s more scary, but they aren’t killing people. That should count for something. They’re just limited by their material conditions and doing whatever they can to stop the genocide.

      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?

        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.

        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.

        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.
