    The US has a good option: pull out

      So, no trade via the Suez Canal? I’m sure that will help inflation.

        The US is free to pull the leash on its attack dog and call for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is a blockade for a blockade and veto for a veto. You are seeing Yemen responding to US aggression.

            You are delusional and haven’t learned anything from losing in Afghanistan or Iraq. Clearly you are eager for the US to be defeated once again.

            The US can call for a ceasefire in Gaza if it wants Yemen to end its blockade on Israeli ships and ships heading to Israeli ports. Otherwise, it has earned this and can only blame itself.

              Please I encourage you to emigrate to Yemen and volunteer for the Houthi cause. One less piece of shit cluttering up our nation.

              I’m more useful living in Saudi Arabia and sending them donations. I wish I could fight, but everyone has a role to play and destiny chose them to lead and show the rest of the Arab World how to stand up to imperialism and in support of Palestine.

              I’m surprised someone from lemmy.world thinks world = USA. Your comment would make more sense if your domain was lemmy.usa or something.

        US is not the fucking world police. It’s absolutely incredible westerners think they have the right to just unilaterally strut around the world and do whatever they like.

        innocent people

        Hah! Funny! I hope you are lying and don’t actually believe it.

        We both clearly want the same thing though, but we foresee different outcomes. We want to bait the US into another war in our region because we have strong confidence it will be defeated. You though clearly forgot the lessons of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and need a refresher :)

            Are there insurgents in Ukraine? It was the Afghani resistance to the US invasion.

            Wars aren’t won by who kills the most civilians. Otherwise the US won in Vietnam. The US invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years and 2.3 trillion dollars trying to prop up a puppet government that collapsed and the pre-invasion government retook Afghanistan.

            Expect a similar outcome in Yemen.

          So the workers on the tankers getting shot at are considered enemy combatants? Because if not, then they’d be innocent people.

            They’re about as much enemy combatants as workers in military factories, and those have been fair game since forever.

            Innocent people have nothing to hide and would respond to the requests of authorities. The ships were clearly headed to enemy ports, and intentionally ignored the requests to turn around.

            Edit: The Red Sea and the Arabian Sea are under Yemeni authority. Non-enemy ships can pass, but for the enemy… Don’t like it? You are free to sail around Africa

                No. Rules imply they are capricious and can change at whim. We have seen that in the US’s actions many times. What the world need are laws that no one can be above or allowed to veto.

        I think they mean out of Israel since that’s why the Houthis are attacking but that would mean giving up a strategic advantage in the middle east so very little chance that’ll ever happen
