Bush and Obama did it too. Historically, it's been a targeted killing thing against Al-Qaeda (or so they have said), with whatever government they have, giving their blessing. If other sites are correct, Trump did it more, but it's kinda hard to pick nits there.

That's why a lot people are more upset over the lack of operational security than the action itself. They're not conducting themselves in a way that keeps our country safe, They skirting monitoring and can't even get that right.

Because zionist central bankers own our politicians through Aipac snd CUFI donations. The houthi are waging against the zionist state of israel to free the Palestinian people under oppressive occupation and genocide funded by our tax dollars

Within two years this same plot will play out with Israel backed Morocco in the berm vs Algerian fighters defending the native Western Saharan Sahrawi.

It's exhausting to keep track of everything that is wrong about this.

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen for years

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

One could say that the group chat that shouldn't be (absolutely everything should be over official channels) has a lot to do with why bombing the poorest countries on Earth is a constant.

Because it is controlled by the Houthis, Islamist terrorists threatening global trade, overthrowing a quasi-friendly government and REINSTITUTING SLAVERY.

They overthrew Gaddafi when he was the only thing preventing slavery from returning, and the allies of the West now have open slave markets in Libya.

The United States government just sold over 200 people, without trial, into slavery in El Salvador. And the US explicitly allows slavery as part of its own prison system. The US has a large number of legal slaves.

They're not threatening global trade, they're fulfilling their obligation under international law to prevent genocide by blocking ships of countries that are aiding genocide.

What lead them to be on position to be able to do such a thing?

Who helped to stabilise the previous gov & infrastructure (hospitals) ... and stopped overnight destabilising the country early pre-covid?

its something that would benefit russia so it was either russia or us

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know, but I presume the answer is us.

But that doesn't mean it is at all reasonable to just let them shoot at our boats and, I reiterate, REINSTITUTE SLAVERY.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

our boats

Everyone’s boats

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Not everyone's boats, just the ones of countries facilitating genocide, as they are obligated to under international law. They're not touching Chinese boats, Iranian boats, Turkish boats, etc.

One way to look at it: Yemen's current conflict is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Put it another way, it's their Vietnam

I think anyone paying attention expects the US to sacrifice their public image to keep wasting taxpayer dollars helping the Zionists commit a genocide.

The people in that group chat were hired by Russia to do as much damage as possible, so this is them doing their jobs.

So, we should let our ships get attacked by terrorist slavers, to spite Israel?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

If we told our vassal state to stop committing genocide, the Houthis wouldn't be bombing ships. Please try to keep up.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago (15 children)

Have you ever considered that the accusation of antisemitism might not carry so much weight if you didn't openly align yourself with genocidal terrorist slavers?
