The U.S. military early Saturday struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen that it had determined was putting commercial vessels in the Red Sea at risk, two U.S. officials said, a day after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels.

    I’m not sure why your first instinct is to insult me when I just tried to engage you in conversation. Why are you even here if you don’t want conversation? Are you just looking for an echo chamber?

      You can’t seriously be partaking in this conversation when you start with “bro what do the Houthis even want they’re just firing missles at ships randomly, they are an Iranian proxy fighting for no reason xddd”

      Their demands were stated very clearly when they started. Stop the blockade and Genocide on Gaza.

        That’s not what I said, and your derogatory misrepresentation of my comment speaks to the weakness of your “argument”, whatever it is. There are many people who want a ceasefire in Gaza, but they aren’t firing missiles at cargo ships. I also didn’t say they were fighting for no reason. It seems hard to believe that the situation in Gaza is their sole motivation for attacking international cargo vessels. The Houthis seem to be acting more like a proxy for a country that has larger geopolitical goals that benefit from chaos, like Iran or Russia. Based on your hostile “response”, I’m guessing you don’t know any more than I do.

          They are punishing the west financially for supporting the ZioNazis. Since the west only understands the word money and lacks any basic morals this is an amazingly clean way that the Houthis retaliate in with no civilian casualties.

          Would you rather they blew up the Eiffel Tower or something?

          Here’s Ukraine doing basically the same thing the Houthis are doing right now and you we loved it back then. Guess only brown people can’t retaliate against oppression.
