They are bombing Yemen, because the houthis are attacking our boats. Transportation ships. Never fuck with US international commerce.
Why are houthis attacking our boats?
And why did they stop for seven weeks?
This is America. The money is in treating the symptom, not the cause. Who cares why they're doing it, or that the likely cause is a valid grievance against something the U.S. is doing, when the U S. can put on a display of might to justify the war machine budget?
Money? Isn’t that what they ask for in return of the cargo? It’s either a bomb or a random. It’s terrorism
In the text thread, they admit only 4% of US trade goes through the Red Sea. They question whether or not they should do it using that number, along side the EU’s 40% trade.
They even admit to NOT wanting to do it for the very purpose of hurting Europe.
But you go ahead and keep shining those boots with your throat.
You: “kill babies because I need my Nikes.”
FREE PALESTINE
We’ve always kept a freedom of navigation policy. Anyone who does piracy or destroys civilian ships usually gets fucked up. These people do not care about the Palestinians if they did they had plenty of land to accept some refugees. Is Yemen accepting Palestinian refugees to save them from genocide? Or are they just doing more violence?
False. The Houhis are attacking Israeli boats.
Source? There’s a lot of boats that pass through every day. Like hundreds. I’m sure you guys are all experts on cargo shipping but let’s be honest and share your data
What civilian boats have the Houthis attacked since they reinstated the blockade?
