If we drop all political considerations, indiscriminately fucking with international trade routes is sure to get your ass kicked. Right or wrong don’t matter. Call it terrorism or piracy or whatever you like, it ain’t gonna fly.
Except you can’t drop all political considerations and you sure as hell can’t call this trade route debacle indiscriminate fucking. They specifically attacked this route because they suspect it supplies israel too.
They're literally not, though. The Houthis have been indiscriminately attacking ships passing through the area, which is largely used for passage through the Suez Canal - the only alternative being making a trip all the way around Africa.
The Houthis are indiscriminately attacking ships that are not Israeli-owned, flying the Israeli flag, or going to dock at Israel. Of the ships attacked, only a small minority have any connection to Israel at all. So you're just choosing to ignore reality. Okay. Good talk.
This is exceptionally easy to disprove with a five second Google search. Some of the container ships that were most recently attacked had panama and Japan flags. Please learn to think and read before spouting nonsense. What the houthi are doing is indiscernible from piracy
There’s a broader point here that everyone seems to be missing, which is that the role of president didn’t have the authority to do things like this historically. It’s not about it being R or D, or if it’s moral and justified ‘this time’. It’s that we’ve ceded a power to the executive which should be in the legislative branch.
I would really ask you to listen/ watch the debate I posted.
The Trump administration has carried out 176 strikes in Yemen in just two years, compared with 154 there during all eight years of Obama’s tenure, according to a count by The Associated Press and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
People can cry all they want, but it’s the US who gave the excuse to Houthi, I think they should first stop their genocide before accusing others of terrorism, leave that to more respectful countries
