    I was primarily stealing the phrase to poke fun of American Politics. I doubt any real negotiation would actually be necessary though. If we denounced our support of Israel and ceased funding them, I wouldn’t be surprised if the attacks would wane on US affiliated ships (they would persist on ships bound to Israel and on nation ships that still support Israel). Chinese ships seem to not have this problem.

    Furthermore, I was referring to the Houthis attacks, the governance structure of Yemen as a whole remains ambiguous enough, and I wouldn’t consider the attacks as being necessarily sanctioned by the “government.”

      Ah Poe’s law in action I guess. It’s worth noting that the governance of Yemen isn’t actually that ambiguous. Ansar Allah control the territory where 80% of the population lives and have popular support from vast majority of people in Yemen. The puppet regime that the Saudis and US have been trying to prop up has no legitimacy.
