Well. Being a bigoted asshole is easy.

Actually being inclusive and nice to people takes effort.

It has serious parallels to the Nazi brownshirts of the 1930s. Except it's just him. In foreign countries.

God damn what a deplorable.

I'm guessing he is doing those antics to bolster his street cred with his social media followers. Hope he gets to spend a decade behind bars in South Korea.

The Bab el-Mandeb is a hugely important chokepoint in world trade, and moves around 30% of global oil supply through there, along with 30,000 ships per year.

It's closer to 15% of total global trade, which is huge and really only affects European trade. Between 1.7 to 4 million tons per day of cargo transits the strait, and it is an incredibly tight pinch point, the navigable part of the strait is only a few kilometers across. Ships are currently detouring around the horn of Africa, which adds 15 days to the journey. That's a lot of fuel being burned.

What's Going On With Shipping has had extensive coverage of the conflict over the past year or so, with some pretty deep insights as to what is really going on. If you're interested.

I think it's because they keep sinking commercial ships and firing missiles at Israel, no? They also shot missiles at Russian, Chinese, European, Panamanian, Japanese, Korean, and South American ships.

Why were bombing them now is because Trump's a dumbass and needs to distract everyone.

I feel that Sanders is probably too old and that he can pass the torch on at the next election. It's sad, but I still don't think we need an 80 year old running for office.
