An attack by Yemeni Houthi rebels on a Belize-flagged ship earlier this month caused an 18-mile (29-kilometer) oil slick, the U.S. military said Saturday.

“The Houthis continue to demonstrate disregard for the regional impact of their indiscriminate attacks, threatening the fishing industry, coastal communities, and imports of food supplies,” it said.

The Associated Press, relying on satellite images from Planet Labs PBC of the stricken vessel, reported Tuesday that the vessel was leaking oil in the Red Sea.

          I mean if we’re going to keep going back in time to blame cause after cause, blame the British for colonizing the part of North America that the U.S. broke away from. Or blame the Spanish for beginning European colonization of the Americas in the first place. Etc.

          At some point, you need to blame the person who was there at the time and made the decision to do it.

            Ok depleted uranium , agent orange… any specific example of the bullshit environmental stance you want? Hiroshima maybe? US is a fucking oil company with weapons. Anyhow I’m going to put the blame on the imperialist pigs that starts the wars.

                  But I hope you die painfully as well.

                  What the fuck? How is that at all appropriate? I haven’t made anything I said personal.

                  But I will die painfully thanks to my nerve disorder that keeps me in constant pain, so that should please you.

          Do you even read, he agreed with you that the US doesn’t give a shit about the environment when it attacks. He just said your example sucked, pick a better one.

            These kids are so used to being outraged, they no longer care if they eat their own. Just report them for being disruptive and move on. Lemmy doesn’t need this type of shit.
