Before we started shooting them down, they missed quite often.
… okay, fair. Maybe it was just luck with the rocket attacks.
I will say that the drones are precision weapons, and they never seem to use those to kill or wound civilians. I think that matters because it demonstrates that their intent isn’t to kill or mutilate civilians, their intent is to divert vessels and disrupt trade.
So the Houthis DO sound like terrorism to you?
Let me clarify: terrorism, to me, should mean “killing/maiming civilians to achieve a political goal”. They haven’t done that and they don’t seem to intend to do that.
Terrorism, to me, is also a worthless politicized label that the US just slaps on anyone who it deems a threat to its own imperial interests. Two of the largest terrorist organizations in the world are the IDF and the US armed forces , but politically they are completely immune to the label. Instead, groups like the ELF are labeled as terrorists because they did some arson.
Oh, yes, it was our fault that the Houthis execute LGBT people.
It’s the fault of propagandists for tying our queerness with the Western imperialist project. That’s not our fault. We didn’t choose to do that. People in power use us as totems to justify bloodshed, so the victims see this and react in a natural and entirely predictable way.
This is blowback. This is what happens when you wave a rainbow flag while blowing up children by the thousands.
But I don’t know why I was expecting any connection with reality at all from you.
I don’t know why I expected a shred of decency or respect from you. You seem to delight in harassing and belittling people.
