Here’s an idea:

The Houthi’s can just not launch missiles at ships

I’m tired of this kind of lazy rhetoric.

Why are the Houthi’s committing violence?

I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.

Instead of spending 1.2 billion dollars bombing them, maybe purchasing 600 million dollars of their chief export would be a better idea.

Empower the legitimate businesses and the people in the region who aren’t launching missiles instead of ravaging the region and creating a new generation of ‘militant rebels’.

Instead of trusting your feelings and alluding that the Houthis launch missiles “because they’re forgotten”, you could list the actual reason they’ve given, which is enforcing a blockade against ships trading with Israel.

Given that statement, I’m sure that the Houthis will stop their strikes when Israel stops their ongoing genocide. The US could have their shipping lanes back if they stop funding and arming a genocide and force a permanent ceasefire.

This what? These people are religious fanatics so self absorbed in superstition and nonsense that they will literally blow themselves up and kill a bunch of people just out having breakfast because they don’t like the hours of operation one group sets for a pile of rocks some other group wants to visit on one day but not on another day. It is their utter lack of empathy and rationality that makes them evil pieces of shit. They aren’t fucking freedom fighters standing up for innocent people. They are morons who want religious control over their own people and every other person, absolute male domination of women in society, minority rule, and the ethnic cleansing of Jewish people from the middleeast.

With the support of useful idiots as you, of course.

The Houthi are the Proud Boys of Yemen.

After 1/6, instead of arresting the insurrectionists, maybe we should have bought more Proud Boys merchandise? That’s your solution to religious extremists attempting to overthrow the government?

Yemen’s chief export is Proud Boys merch?

Didn’t know that.

Thanks for informing me and not just being a murderous troll.

If that’s the case, just nuke Yemen. Explosives are the only real fix for social issues.

Spending 1.2 billion on bombing campaigns keeps 1.2 billion in the American economy. Giving another country 600 million only exports money from their grasp.

Peace is not the point of the war machine.

I want to stop murdering bad people and I want to start rewarding good people.

Nowhere did I suggest giving the bad people money.

Watch a man get strong and push thugs out when he has a dollar to defend.

Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.

How do the Houthis know which ships are going to Israel? Can you prove they’ve only attacked ships bound for Israel?

Why is there a 39 nation coalition organizing against the Houthis? Aren’t a lot of those nations opposing Israel’s current actions?

Do you know the Houthis slogan of, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the Jews, Victory to Islam”?

You’re fighting for the wrong side buddy

All ships relevant to this discussion are required to have an AIS transmitter and destination is one of the pieces of data they transmit. This is like asking “how do you know where that plane passing overhead is going?” to someone who has flightradar24 open.

Oh I wonder why that may be their message? Maybe because those two have a long history in the middle east in destabilizing it and killing innocent people? Do you honestly believe they hate us because they hate our freedom? Unbelievable.

They will, just as soon as those ships stop violating their blockade. You will note that many ships pass through Yemeni waters without issue because they are abiding by the rules, as dictates by maritime law and international law. Why are you defending the criminals?

The ships they’re firing upon are passing through in accordance with maritime and international law. Their justification is that the ships are Israeli affiliated, but those ships are still sailing in recognized international waters.

Oh shit! International law?? Man, I bet everyone totally respects stuff like that-- especially the very very moral nations like the US and Israel.

No, they aren’t, because a blockade has been announced and the ships are violating the blockade.
