What a rotten country the united states of america has become
Become? Always was, just worse now.
we’ve been bombing Yemen since Obama was president. you are right though.

Each bomb that hits the houthis is a favor to the rest of the world. Given as a gift, by the USA.
What about the 17 innocent civilians that died during this bombing?
You know… The war crime part
They should have taken it upon themselves to overthrow the houthis like 20 years ago already. The houthis holding the Suez hostage for more than a year economically hurts multiple billions of people. The damage they are feeling is a small fraction of the damage they have done to the rest of the world. It’s just not easy to show a representation of a small % of damage to the entire global economy like you can show a viral video clip of a bomb landing.
If “economic hurt” justifies a bombing campaign, then imagine what else would be justified. America economically devastated Iraq, so it’s only fair that the Iraqi airforce comes over and drops a few hundred tons of bombs on us.
By your logic, Iraqi bombs should be dropping on your house and killing your family. And following your insane logic, it would be your fault that your family is dead, because you should have taken it upon yourself to overthrow the Republican Party regime.

This has to be the most vile comment I’ve read on lemmy. It’s like saying that the people in the twin towers deserved to die because they didn’t overthrow Bush.
Brutally ‘solving’ a problem entirely caused by the U.S, all while trying to demand gratitude from the rest of the world.
U.S foreign intervention in a nutshell, really
Only in favor of israel
The majority of the damage the houthis have done is to the economy of Europe. Despite their slogan they are not competent enough to figure out how to really hurt the US or Israel, not for a lack of trying, though.
Reports and the magnitude of attacks on Yamen shows that their actions indeed hurt the US and Israel . Many European countries are complicit with the genocide with military collaborations, good economical relations, refusing arrest warrents by the ICC and even selling weapons to Israel
"I will cut your kid’s leg because your country government hurt my economy. " fuck is wrong with you with this logic. the same logic of the worst terrorists of cartels who have no funtioning brain or emotions because their drug intake.
They could just not shoot at ships. Ignoring that makes your argument a little pointless.
Who’s they? The innocent civilians are shooting at ships? Is this shopkeeper shooting at ships and deserves to feel their life endangered by US bombs?
Right, the kids they just bombed should just not have shot at ships /s
What the fuck is wrong with you
The people there should have taken care of the Houthis themselves like 20 years ago.

lol what a baby brained take on this.
This isn’t just a yemeni shopkeeper keeping calm. That’s probably his son.
He’s scared shitless. But he also knows that if one of those bombs hits his shop, they’re dead. So he’s being a parent instead.
In the face of crisis, the first thing a parent can do is either panic, making the entire experience worse for the kid, or stay calm and collected, demonstrating that “this too, shall pass.”
It’s weird, when I’m around my kids, I feel like my ability to make decisions is improved, I feel like I’m less prone to any sort of panic. There’s something about having them with me, I suppose it’s that I know that I need to be the one to “figure things out,” that helps me see things more clearly. Or perhaps I’ve just matured a bit. Or perhaps life has just beaten me down so much that nothing is new.
It’s maturity and some of the latter for me.
I want everyone who isn’t vocally opposing the war on terror to see videos like this until they fucking learn human empathy.
I don’t think a missing human emotion can legitimately be learned. Sociopaths can do ok at faking it but they will never actually feel it.
Yeah we learned last year that half of this fucking country runs on pure hate for anyone who isn’t exactly like them, and even then they’ll find reasons to hate them too. They’re suffering but other people suffering worse actually makes them feel better. Then they’re shocked and appalled when their Walmart trip gets more expensive and their response to it is that other people should still be hurt more.
They have no empathy. They do not have the capability to think about anyone other than themselves, and it shows daily.
Yet you can injure people with culture. Constantly stoking emotions like fear and its siblings hatred, loathing, and obedience, eventually stimulates the amygdala into an enlarged state.
The problem is not just ideology, it’s biology. Cults are freaky, man. There’s the psychology of inducing trances and there’s even probably some weird acausal shit that we don’t understand and would label magic.
But our persistence as a species relies on us figuring it out.
The only difference between you and them is where their empathy lies. War is awful shit, but often used to end other much more awful, and less visible shit.
War is awful shit, but often used to end other much more awful, and less visible shit.
You do realize we’re talking about the war on terror here right? If you think there’s something more awful than bombing an apartment building and killing 53 people being prevented by this shit then I don’t even know what to say.
Well look into the deplorable shit happening in Yemen and see if you can find some things to say.
But this bombing wasn’t about the “deplorable shit” happening in Yemen. It was about access to easier shipping routes. Thats it.
+50 dead in this attack so boats didn’t have to go around the horn of Africa.

Ah yes, there’s the nuance I’ve come to expect around here.

Okay, and you think these bombings will lead to a regime change in Yemen? The Saudis tried that first. Low to moderate level foreign conflicts with a widely hated enemy (which the West and Israel are) do nothing but strengthen the ruling government. Hell, even a full-scale war isn’t at all guaranteed to remove the rulers from power, because it gives them legitimacy that they otherwise lack. This is why Hamas is still in power despite 18 years of blockades, three wars and a genocide.
Just because someone tried it and it didn’t work, doesn’t mean you just say “fuck it”. You try new methods and keep working at the problem until it’s solved.
And what’s new about bombing Yemenis?
The US are doing them now, who the Yemeni are even more alienated from and ready to view as an enemy than the Saudis.

I looked up what this is about:
The Houthis had “pledged to restart their attacks on Israeli-linked vessels” in the wake of Israel’s renewed bombardment of Gaza this month
So maybe you’re right, although I wouldn’t call what’s happening in Gaza “less visible”.
I think they meant in general without going to deep into this specific instance of warfare

Yemeni shopkeeper during illegal US terrorist bombing.
Remember all the narrative about the modern warfare and “surgical operations”?
JD Vance said in the signal messages they don’t know who the Houthis are. So surgical operations can’t really exist unless they spot some equipment and can identify it’s purpose as being an anti ship weapon.
Really they are just bombing innocents more than likely and hoping for I don’t know what
Fuck the USA, everyone who voted for the orange fuck.
