US/UK launch strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen

[i kne albert davy]

It's okay. It certainly justifies 10k children murdered of the 30k that have suffered death.

*tsk*

Zionists, eh...?

Most would prefer it not to happen but if you sow the wind.

No they’re international waters and any country can protect legal merchant shipping as the Royal Navy and the US Navy are doing.

Ansar Allah, in the beginning, were trying to halt weaponry being brought to Israel in order to force redirection away from genocide. Sounds like you disagree with this action.

It didn't matter what were on those ships if it included weapons of destruction and yes, it affects the Yemen and surrounding areas.

Funny how the US lost Navy Seals in a secret op, but they're angry about soldiers in a base that shouldn't be there.

None of this should be happening, but Butchers Biden and Netanyahu are the ones driving this forward.

This is nonsense.

Palestinians have been suffering, mostly in 'silence' for decades, but you know this already.

US (and UK) attacks Yemen, to dissuade them from attacking shipping.
US shocked that Yemen fights back!
Groups (supported by Iran) fight back in support.
US increases attacks "in retaliation" to 3 GIs being killed a base that most people didn''t even know was there.

I can't think of any situation where an attack like the first one on Yemen ever worked, at least not since the British Empire gunboat diplomcy days.

No coincidence that this is US election year, plenty of Jewish voters and financial backers in the US.

2 weeks ago, Biden was asked if bombing Yemen/Ansar Allah would work.

He said 'No, but we'll do it anyway!'!

Tells you all you need to know.

I'm just gonna put a bow on the thing I said and, hopefully, other readers/ naysayers can understand the position.

"What do the Houthis want?


In order to end the attacks in the Red Sea, the Houthis demanded a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. In January 2024, the United States and the United Kingdom conducted airstrikes against multiple Houthi targets in Yemen".

It's pretty simple.

Some Americans get killed in Jordan, so they bomb Iraq and Syria with no evidence of involvement? If it wasn't the US the world community would be up in arms.

“no evidence” pmsl.

The attacks were launched in retaliation to a strike in Jordan which killed three US troops last weekend.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella term used by a number of Iran-backed groups in Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attack.

It's far from simple is it

Perhaps a good start would for the arab world to recognise the state of Israel, then perhaps the recognition of Palestine would follow, then maybe there could be, you know, an agreement from Iraq, Egypt, Jordan etc not to invade or threaten Israel as they did on the day the state was created, and again in the 60's. Maybe that agreement could include some agreement from Israel to refrain from any further land take of Palestinian territory, and a reciprocal agreement to not invade or threaten.

Once that peace has settled in, and some confidence in its solidity has been established, maybe the next move would be to open up borders, establish relationships based on trade/commerce.

Now the main thing standing in the way of this is of course the fact that both sides are entrenched in fanatical religion based beliefs which preclude any such agreements from ever happening, and should enlightened politicians emerge simultaneously on both sides, it's highly likely they would simultaneously disappear again in unpleasant circumstances.

This is the middle easts dark ages, maybe they have to go through it as we did in europe a thousand years ago when the crusades tried to establish religious dominion over other faiths. Difference is, we did it with swords and pointy sticks, the buggers these days have missiles and drones
