  1. What would you have them do? Another 20 year war?

  2. Then may as well say it’s America’s war, since most players there are US proxies.

  3.  @justamoogle5268 they are applying economic sanctions. And they are not indiscriminately targeting ships. Israel, however, is indiscriminately bombing Gaza, per Biden.

  4.  @James-9999 that’s not true at all. The vast majority of the ships may have foreign flags, but they are owned/operated by Israelis or US.

  5.  @Nicho_Ldn  weird how the Houthis grant safe passage to anyone other than Israel, US, and UK? Wonder why that is?

  6.  @eagle36791 in Gaza. Israel is being judged in the ICJ for it as we speak.

  7.  @foilhat1138 the Houthis admitted they made a mistake with the Russian ships, since they used to be UK owned.

  8.  @justamoogle5268 those Filipinos are held by the Iranians. That ship was seized from Iran by the US last year, so Iran is seizing it back. Those Filipinos were just in the wrong ship at the wrong time.

  9.  @michaelthompson9548 the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza. The reason they are being dragged in front of the ICJ for their crimes against humanity.

  10.  @WaleedbinKamran they may run different flags, but most of the ships are owned by Israelis or Americans.

  11. The US backed the Saudis in their attacks on Yemen, btw.

  12.  @foilhat1138  like who?

  13.  @foilhat1138  what other ships are the Houthis mistakenly attacking? You make it seem like it’s a common occurrence.

  14.  @SolomonSunder  they have to issue official UN responses for diplomacy. The US officially doesn’t like the suffering in Gaza, but still enables it.

  15.  @foilhat1138  Most of the ships are owned by US/UK/Israel under different flags. And Russia, China, and India telling Houthis to stop carries as much conviction as the US telling Israel to stop its genocide.

  16.  @foilhat1138  I did check. You should too.

  17.  @SolomonSunder  diplomacy is much more complicated. If they are so opposed, then why aren’t Chinese and Russian ships part of the coalition?

  18.  @MrLunithy  they admitted they targeted it by mistake, since it used to be a UK ship.

  19.  @MrLunithy  how is that?
    1
  20. Because the Houthis are in their home. What is the US doing there?

  21. Of course it starts an escalation spiral. The Biden admin only knows to be belligerent in all world affairs. Zero diplomatic instinct.

  22.  @foilhat1138  sanctions under a different method.
