    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.

        “standing up for human rights”

        Meanwhile, on the Houthis flags: “death to Israel, death to America, Jews are a curse upon the land”

        You, a joke of a person who needs to look in the mirror and laugh at yourself: “very reasonable people”

          We’re talking about their actions at this very moment. Not them as an organization.

          If Kim Jong Un decided to block to Red Sea to support Palestinine instead of the Houthis it would be just as morally correct. If America did it too.

          It’s about getting water, food and medicine to little children who are getting their legs amputated without anesthetics as if it’s a SAW movie.

      The Houthis are blocking Israeli ports in response to genocide.

      Why were US ships going to the ports of a country actively committing genocide?

      The US is now bombing a sovereign nation to stop trade sanctions on a genocide.

        They’re attacking commercial shipping vessels passing through the suez canal that have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine or the US. If you knew how how to read or think you’d already know this.

        You don’t get to seal off a critical global shipping route just because you happen to be living next to it and don’t like where some of the cargo is going. This isn’t like the bosphorous, even a recognized Yemeni government wouldn’t have control over who can transit the strait unless they invaded Djibouti

        Why were US ships going to

        They weren’t. While you may disagree with US Navy hanging out in the area, they’re in international waters and not trying to go to Israel. You could argue that attacking US ships proves the blockade story is a farce

      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.

        No civilians died in the first strikes, and I’m not aware of any sources claiming any civilian deaths in these strikes either, which is probably to be expected given that they were against a military air base.

          Would you change your mind if Houthi soldiers died? What is civilians would die?

            I’m not going to feel particularly bad about people with the slogan “Death to America, death to Israel, a curse on the Jews” being killed in combat in a retaliatory military strike.
