What ever happened to talking and reaching an agreement and asking for favors and scratching each other back.. like now we resort to uncivilized behavior by attacking the poorest countries.
I don't think there's much negotiating with a terrorist organization indiscriminately attacking international shipping
They've been clear from the start, they will leave the freight alone once the genecide in Gaza stops.
Joe Biden and Bibi are the ones who won't negotiate.
I don't have to like it, but it's sort of a sound strategy. The Red Sea is on the way to the Suez Canal, and the world had a demonstration a few years ago about what happens when you block the Suez canal.
The microphone just dropped, we can all go watch One Piece now. /s
Out of curiosity why did YOU use the word terrorist? Have you ever heard of the movie Avatar, Star Wars, Space Balls? It’s simply too easy to label someone a threat/terrorist, but come on entire countries, like are you agreeing that each creature/living breathing mammal as a terrorist?
Quiet, rebel scum!
Thanks for the laugh.
Because to further their political agenda they are attacking civilians. you know, the definition of terrorism?
Like Israel is attacking civilians. Glad we can finally agree. Thanks for playing
What about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, was it also wrong?
"Hey, do you want you and your families to stop suffering from a lack of food, clean water, healthcare, and housing? We can fix that."
Might be a start. But it's never approached that way.
People don't usually want to be terrorists. The places these people come from are the poorest on earth and don't know anything other than suffering and exploitation.
Their flag says "death to America, death to Israel, curse be upon the Jews". In some sense, I think you can't blame an oppressed group for radicalizing in an attempt to improve their situation. But it's hard to sympathize with a militant, anti-semitic terrorist organization.
Personally, I think the US should end the Prosperity Guardian operation. It should end support for Israel. And it should end oil imports. This will push America more towards decarbonization while reducing America's interest in the Middle East. But that will raise gas prices, so it'll never happen.
The only terrorist organization here is the "coalition" that the burger empire scraped together. Yemen is interdicting shipping from countries supporting a literal genocide through their sovereign waters. Meanwhile, the terrorists from US and UK are bombing Yemen for this.
