Defense.

I guess the missiles and drones launched at Israel were just part of a special military operation then, my bad.

Military targets like Sanaa’s international airport? To deter Ansarallah launching… Missiles and boats?

Either US CENTCOM is dumber than I thought, or it’s just a cover to continue the Saudi genocide of Yemen.

nekandro OP , 7 months ago to worldnews in Ukraine says Russia launched barrage of missile attacks nationwide

Not sure what Russia’s end game is, since you’d think striking parts of Ukraine’s MIC during the day would be more damaging to the war effort.

Yes, because Ansarallah is obviously launching missiles and boats from the international civilian airport.

The DPP won the presidentship, but I can’t help but feel like they had higher expectations. Under Tsai, they had a majority in the Yuan.

A crack formed on the outermost of 4 layers. It’s within spec but should’ve been caught on inspection. This is a bad look for ANA’s inspection team (which might be Boeing? I’m not sure), but not a manufacturing defect afaik.

So… The KMT won the most seats, but the DPP won the presidentship? Truly, the most efficient system of government is a FPTP system.

This is like the Canadian NDP/Liberal split that leads to the Conservatives somehow forming government despite having no support in the key urban centers (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver).

Amazon isn’t at war with Israel. Ansarallah IS, and they’re perfectly within their rights to enforce a blockade.

Just like how Israel “only targeted valid military targets,” right? Yeah…

A blockade of a state you are at war with is… acceptable under international law.

Unfortunately for you, international law supercedes your own interpretation of morality.

Oh no! Not ocean surveys!

CSIS can’t see a single act without passing it through a military lens.

Idk seems like these airstrikes are doing more to fuck over shipping than the Houthis are.
