They're attacking ships in international waters, killing sailors.
They're not the good guys.
To add, this particular region isn't a country as that term is understood by anyone. It is lawless, unincorporated territory without anyone in charge.
It's finders keepers. First country who can bring law and order to the territory gets to keep it, and the Republic of Yemen, has proved either unwilling and incapable.
To be clear, it would be fine if the people in this territory wanted to live like it's the year 600 and kept to themselves, but that's not what they want. They want to be part of a new Islamic caliphate and rule the entire world.
Not gonna happen ✅.
There's a handful of very vocal posters on here that are just cooked. They think that anyone fighting the US is automatically the good guy, and life just isn't that simple.
They are attacking Norwegian boats. The majority of the boats they are attacking aren’t even from the USA or going to the USA…
Also false. The majority of boats when the US blockade was active had direct ties to the countries on the blockade list.
Notable example True Confidence was owned by US Oaktree Capital until it was sold right before passing through the Red Sea. https://www.ft.com/content/7968438c-ec7c-424d-aaed-42d99e2a51a7
They have not been operating with honesty for some ships but as someone else pointed out, the majority had ties to the US and Israel. They've also been very clear about why they do this. I'm not saying they are admirable, but they are not that wrong.
I don't think it's bad to admit that they are generally doing something good while also committing bad mistakes.
JD Vance was just quoted saying 90% of the traffic was headed to Europe. I’m sure he’s exaggerating as much as you. Not too long ago the United States had good sounds intelligence so…. Idk not my business anyway. Don’t fuck with civilian vessels. Hit real military targets and get hit back with military assets. All I see is a bunch of fucking terrorist and terrorist supporters to be honest.
I can see why you think I might be exaggerating but at some point I checked the wikipedia page listing Houthi attacks on ships and spent a good amount of time checking each one more carefully.
