    They’re not clear at all lmao. They attack whatever vessel they want and then find a flimsy connection to Israel after the fact.

    The Houthis, on the other hand, were very clearly warned. They are free not to attack and kidnap cargo ships, otherwise they are free to get bombed. They have chosen the latter option.

      So seizing ships supplying a genocidal regime is worse than genocide? When will the “international community” bomb Israel for its genocide in Gaza?

      I’m not going to complain much since it is pointless and we wanted to bait the US into another decades-long and losing war after all. Your comments remind me of what people were saying during the early days of the war on Afghanistan in 2001, we all know how it ended. Doing the same thing somewhere else and expecting a different outcome is a sign of craziness. If you think the US will have any outcome that it can call a win then you are just as delusional as the people who thought the US would be welcomed as liberators in Iraq and Afghanistan.

      Then again, people like you are just looking to satiate their blood lust, and don’t care if the US repeats its losses a la Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. But I ask you this, unless you are under 30, do you remember how it was in 2001? do you think you are better off today?

        They have attacked, among other non-Isreali bound vessels, a Gabon-flagged oil tanker on its way to India staffed with Indian men.

        Way would you even compare this to Afghanistan, there are no boots on the ground, no one is going to invade Yemen, no one is being “baited” into anything here.
