I mean stop touching the damn boats. People be touching US boats like 4 times in history and it always turns out bad.
The Imperial Japanese Navy sank 8 US boats and we dropped the Sun on them. Twice.
That’s the problem, you touch a US boat and you get bombed, the US fucks an entire region over and they face no consequence
America has been supplying Saudi with weapons to attack the Houthis with for many years.
The Houthis didn’t lose.
Why are people so mad that someone is actually standing up for human rights? The demands of the Houthis are very reasonable.
The US is willing to kill untold number of people because otherwise the cheap shirts made by children in Bangladesh will arrive slightly late. I do hope for this evil empire to fucking die already.
For Bangladesh it’s probably faster to go east to get to the US. The majority of ships going through the Suez Canal are trading with Europe.
Idk seems like these airstrikes are doing more to fuck over shipping than the Houthis are.
Shipping Advised to Avoid Key Global Trade Way Point After Airstrikes
Looked at a non paywall source, it was the US advising ships to avoid the area for the next couple days because they plan on doing more strikes and don’t want other ships caught in the crossfire
It’s paywalled, but the US (and UK) are always bad news
Am I missing something? Seems like they’re defineding civilians here
They are protecting their civilians or the ones they can benefit from, and killing others who are not, they are not doing this in good faith
Cargo ships can take a longer route, they don’t need to be there. The US values cargo over human lives.
The longer route costs an additional million dollars in diesel alone. Even if you don’t care about the enormous economic impact, the environmental impact alone is huge.
Oh okay, so we’re killing people over causing environmental damage? Let’s murder the CEO of Nestle, BP etc. They deserve it way more!
You know that isn’t what I am saying.
As far as I’m aware, there have been no reports whatsoever of non-military targets being hit in the strikes. Targeting the infrastructure being used by a non-state group to disrupt the most critical trade route on earth is absolutely proportionate.
The CEOs of those companies should be prosecuted instead, however there is not appropriate legislation for environmental damage in the UK and US.
You know that isn’t what I am saying.
It is what you’re implying. Even in this very comment: you just assume that violence is appropriate for protecting a trade route, but we have to be very nice to CEOs of companies that destroy the environment and use slave labor. Please examine your own biases and see the consequences.
No. They’re attacking one of the few countries that’s doing something about Israel’s genocide.
