Companies are rerouting around South Africa to avoid militia attacks in Yemen in one of the biggest disruptions to world trade since the Covid-19 pandemic
They are being directed to attack ships indiscriminately by Iran. If they wanted to fight genocide for real, a naval blockade without weapons would do the trick. This is just terrorism.
Another convenient excuse for the hand of the free market to limit supply and jack up prices even further…
I mean, if buttholes are shooting missiles at boats, I think we’re beyond “convenient excuses.” Do you want to captain a ship through there by chance?
Any legitimate situation will be taken to gouge prices far beyond their actual additional costs. So yes, it is a convenient excuse.
Did they sink any?
Did literally one person die?
They’re firing fucking rockets at them, isn’t that bad enough?
To nearly double international shipping costs?
No, it’s not.
Lmao.
People have died in pirate attacks before.
Recently, ships have been hit with missiles.
A lot more people could die if the attacks are not stopped or avoided.
sounds like they need to put some pep in their step stopping the ongoing genocide then
You realize it’s just an excuse for them to attack, right?
Why would they attack international shipping if not to stop genocide?
There is no reason for them to do this aside from being the only people with enough morals to step up against Genocide Joe.
They are being directed to attack ships indiscriminately by Iran. If they wanted to fight genocide for real, a naval blockade without weapons would do the trick. This is just terrorism.
The ships have already received warnings not to pass through and they decide to ignore them.
Also there are tunnels and a command center beneath the ships so Yemen has the right to defend themselves.
man i wish there were some way to test that theory
maybe we could do sort of a ‘stopping the ongoing genocide’ test run, see how they respond
and then keep it going indefinitely because genocide is bad
Goddamnit, Doritos are already over $5 a bag! And I’m not sure they come from the Red Sea…
