Quite the opposite: US-led maritime force will not stop Yemen’s Houthis from enforcing blockade against Israel
Paper tiger.
Reading that was good for my soul, thank you! ❤️
I have a question about the last paragraph:
Al-Houthi also urged popular actions against Israeli aggression. He suggested that people who support Palestinians should withdraw their money from banks of those countries who are still supporting Israel.
I’m confused about the intended outcome. I understand the symbology of everyone taking their money away - is that basically the only reason to say it? I know that the underlying purpose would be to take fuel away from the engine of the imperial machine, but it seems unlikely that taking out of banks all the money of every single person on the planet who supports Palestine would make a difference, because the accumulated wealth of the owner-imperialists is so much larger. But maybe it would make news if all the regular people started pulling their money out of banks? Idk.
The most generous reading I can think of is as an allusion to stop doing business with those countries. A subtlety like that may have been lost in translation. On the other hand, most people still believe in the myth of fractional reserves, and so believe that withdrawing bank deposits could collapse the financial system.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
havent we been at war witb Yemen for basically 20 years thru Saudi Arabia?
This is gonna really piss off the American public. Ukraine and Palestine were the first two strikes. You don’t have to be well-versed in geopolitics to understand that American empire is overextending itself to the detriment of literally everyone who isn’t a weapons contractor.
The American public has no say in what the military does and can’t point to Yemen on a map

The military cares deeply about public opinion because it absolutely does have material consequences. Its lackeys wouldn’t be persecuting BDS supporters and sending ROTC recruiters/groomers to impoverished school districts otherwise.
can’t point to Yemen on a map
Most of the world can’t, but that doesn’t matter. All Americans need to know is that their government is wasting billions on pointless, destructive wars while their own lives get progressively worse with each passing year.
The US isn’t even currently in a major military conflict. It’s wishful thinking to claim the US is over extended. The US has limits in some capabilities, I believe specifically medium displacement war ships are lacking and artillery production. But theres still hundreds of other systems that can be deployed.
Lmao the US is shitting itself to death.
It is how the US makes money since forever
