    Both are really serious problems in their own right, one’s just a little closer to home

      Also, one is going to spawn more of the other and worse over time.

      It’s not about the chat specifically, it’s about ignoring any sort of rules the government is supposed to be beholden to, and getting away with it consistently as they push more and more.

        If the Houthi Militia do not want to be attacked they have to stop attacking cargo ships. No one should be defending the Houthi Militia unless you support killing innocent sailors for some fucked up reason.

          If the US doesn’t want it’s ships attacked, then it should stop arming Israel. No one should be defending the US government unless you support killing innocent Palestinians for some fucked up reason.

          By that logic shouldn’t Israel stop the crimes against humanity it’s currently undertaking in Gaza if it doesn’t want shipping attacked?

            No, because Israel’s attacks aren’t really related to the Houthi attacks. The Houthi are claiming solidarity with Palestine but the actions aren’t related.

              They had stopped them for a solid period until Saudi airstrikes began again, and Israeli crimes against humanity in Gaza got more blatantly underway.

              Might be worth giving it a try if we care about human life.

                And again The Houthi instigated their civil war and are bringing in outside militaries through their acts of aggression

                  I assume you think Pakistan and China’s attacks on the Baloch people are valid as well, then?

                  Since how dare an exploited ethnic minority have some of its members turn to violence against a hostile state.

                    Are the Balochs attacking innocent civilians in international waters? As they aren’t this is a false equivalence.

                    The Houthi represent the plurality within Yemen. The overthrew the coalition government starting the civil war. They are not an oppressed minority rather they are a group that represents the largest group and want to oppress others.

            Many of these ships have nothing to do with Israel.

            Why do you think the Iranian propaganda you are currently maintaining reflects the facts on the ground?

                No I want to protect the innocents on the ships who are getting murdered by The Houthi for no reason. These ships are not connected to the war or any party in that war in many cases.

                What you are supporting is terrorists murdering innocent sailors to stop a war they have nothing to do with, why?

                    I never said anything about Gaza so don’t put words in my mouth. The Houthi are claiming they are doing this in solidarity but they attacked ships during th ceasefire which is at odds with that claim.

                    It’s weird that anyone who isn’t in theory racist and ostensibly cares about peace would back The Houthi Militia who instigated the civil war and whose ideology is overtly racist.

      Well yeah, if we let the bombs just collect dust, the manufacture’s shares might drop in price. Can’t have that, can we.

          Yeah, but fuck Ukraine, Zelenskyy didn’t say thank you the 38th time. Also, boss and fuck buddy Putin wouldn’t like it. At least now they can use their bombs in support of their nazi zionist buddies. If only Ukraine was a nazi state, they would have gotten more bombs. Maybe moron Trump should listen more to Putin, he claimed the invasion was for de-nazification of Ukraine. That should motivate him to supply Ukraine. Who cares about the truth right? But I doubt his memory records anything other than golf.
