Ceasefire Now. Not tomorrow, not after the ICJ case, not after the Red Sea has been cleared. Now.

Two USN sailors reportedly went "missing" off the coast of Somalia (which, coincidentally, is also off the coast of Yemen).

The Houthis... Who have been bombed for literally a decade by US-backed and US-funded forces with US weapons in the Arabian Peninsula...

Are we talking about the same Houthis?

Ansarallah is, for all intents and purposes, as legitimate a government of Yemen as the ROC is of Taiwan.

It should be a no-brainer to not fund and ship weapons to a state committing a genocide, and yet here we are.

Almost like the US has a hard on for the Middle East. Coinciding with the end of the Cold War.

I wonder why...

@Cuba

Ansarallah already showed the world what a boarding operation would look like.

The crew is safe and being treated as appropriate by Islamic law.

It would be embarrassing if it was a civilian craft.

I don't like Fox News either, but this sub has been remarkably one-sided in its news coverage. It doesn't even cover the entire US news spectrum, nevermind the world news spectrum. That's a problem, because every side thinks they hold the whole truth.

Seems like this community continues to ride the dick of MBFC to determine the "credibility" of articles. Fat load of good this post did.

World War 3: Middle East proxy war

I'd rather take fucking Venezuela. BRICS is an uplifting mechanism as much as it is a global faction.

Growth in trade amongst BRICS is immense and that's exactly what Venezuela needs right now.

International law also allows a country to protect its own territorial waters and enforce sanctions through them. Sovereignty supercedes the right to self-defence: if a US warship sails into Chinese territorial waters and gets beat down, international law sides with China.

Isn't iodine like... Extremely, absurdly common in ocean water?

War is good for business

Ansar Allah has survived for this long under constant bombardment by Western weapons. What's another few bombs?

Only the US is allowed to enforce sanctions or institute a blockade. Silly Yemen.

Genocide by explosive leads to deaths by explosive.

And a rapidly destabilizing situation in the SCS.

And contention over the Essequibo.

Edit: by terrorism, you must mean the unilateral military action taken on by the US and UK without UNSC authorization, right?
