can we take a moment to appreciate that Yemen started doing this, got bombed by the U.S. (again), continued doing it, the U.S. begged them to stop with promises of treats and pats on the head, and Yemen was just like nah (with that baller line "We are not within the circle of those you dictate to”) and kept doing it? All while being one of the poorest countries in the world. Absolute king shit
they throw up this chaff but Yemen has said any ships belonging to an entity that deals with the zionists are going to be targets, and they won't address whether that's true of course
It's like a neon sign that reads, 'this ship launders tax.' sorry Ukraine, what's that, you need to privatise everything in a fire sale to fund the US' war? unfortunately this Ukrainian ship isn't really Ukrainian and it already pays it's taxes elsewhere so we can't help
Even western media has admitted that the houthis are operating independently of Iran’s demands lol. Reminds me of how they painted Kim Il Sung as some puppet of china when he was doing his own thing
the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Houthis claim to be acting on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza and yet they are targeting and threatening the lives of third country nationals who have nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza. The ongoing threat to the ability to safely transit the region caused by the Houthis makes it harder to deliver critical assistance to the people of Yemen as well as to Gaza.
After seeing american care packages crush people and their humanitarian pier used as a massacre staging ground, attacking them seems to be self defense
When can we call it WW3? Or is it because most of the conflict is happening in the global south rather than western countries this time around its not considered a "world war?"
I mean, if they don't recognize even the Spanish Civil War, let alone the 1937 2nd Sino-Japanese war as a sign of World War, nothing will until it reaches people...
