It baffles me that they still have a helicopter that's being actively used for piracy. Seems like that should be number one on the target list.
Yemen is at war with Israel. They are targetting Israeli ships. It's not piracy. It's act of war.
> They are targetting Israeli ships
No evidence of this discrimination. That’s a big part of the problem.

Did FDR want to join WW2 to stay in power at home?
Yes, we never had to be involved. In fact, the holocaust started after we declated war, and we kept it a secret that we sunk a japanese submarine that was near Hawaii because it would have tipped off the forces there that they needed to be ready to defend themselves. Pearl harbor was allowed to happen to justify going to war, soldiers and sailors killed for what exactly?
The Holocaust started in 1933

Or the U.S. unloads cruise missiles on Houthi locations like last time and business returns to normal.
UNSC might force a ceasefire today which will likely stop these attacks on ships.
> UNSC might force a ceasefire today
The United States will enforce a ceasefire? Because that’s what this practically requires.
In reality, SC is voting on a “stripped-down draft resolution [that] calls for an increase in humanitarian aid but does not include a call for a cessation of hostilities, which had been unacceptable to the US” [1].

I don’t understand the power dynamics, tbh. How does the security council have the power to stop this rebel group’s operations?
This group has stated that a ceasefire in Israel is enough for them to stop iirc.
> group has stated that a ceasefire in Israel is enough for them to stop
They’ve also stated they’re targeting Israeli ships. There is no evidence any single person has control over their various armed groups.

#76I like how Chinese do not want to get involved in protecting vessels, despite the fact that it’s their containers on board. Oh well, good old America has to save capitalism, yet again :)
Trade typically involves a buyer and a seller.
They are definitely not American containers. Yet everyone counts on America to save the day!
Multipolar world my ass.

What nonsense is this, At the Babi Yar ravine just outside Kyiv, 33,771 Jews were massacred on September 29 and 30, 1941. Months before the US entered the war. Additionally there were Jews being slaughtered from 1939.

“The Houthis aren’t going to stop what they’re doing, until the Israeli offensive in Gaza concludes,” Gregory Brew, an analyst at the Eurasia Group, told Al Jazeera, “and even then they are likely to continue for some time after.” Their demands and intentions are quite clear and solely focused on Israeli-bound ships, although it does seem like this is giving them more leverage with respect to Yemen's agenda which has…
I'm just spitballing here, but the guys with the "God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam" flag may in my opinion have a more expansive agenda than what you're describing.
Hahaha I swear I thought it was a line from Borat before I realized those pricks are using these words exactly to describe their organization.. how anyone is taking them seriously is beyond my understanding..

It’s classically held to have occurred between 1941 and 1945 [1], beginning around the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Ffs, can we have someone defending Arab interests who doesn’t pivot to de facto defending the literal Nazis?
