      Even if America succeeds in mobilising the entire world, our military operations will not stop … no matter the sacrifices it costs us,” Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, said…

      Some of you will die but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

        I mean, I think they’d call that an honorable death in some circles.

        Don’t they see the US as basically the Empire?

          George Lucas certainly did. The Vietnam War was part of the inspiration for Star Wars.

          I see the level of political discourse in this sub has risen to the level of :checks notes: Star Wars references.

      No doubt that is why there have been muted responses to attacks - it would look really bad to the world.

          Because they’re so trustworthy? There’s no clear connection from ships being targeted to Israel like they claim.

            Did you somehow miss the video Ansar Allah released of seizing the glalxy leader? Did you miss the big Palestinian flag on the back of the helicopter? Did you miss the Yemeni operator announcing why they are seizing the ship?

            Like what are you trying to suggest Ansar Allah’s alternative motives are? Simple piracy? They’ve only captured one ship and are mostly scaring others off. Seems like bad tactics for piracy but good blockade tactics.

            Galaxy Leader is owned by a company co-owned by an Israeli. They said any connection to Israel will get you attacked. I’m sure theres more tenous connections. But I also dont really care. They can shut down the Red Sea entirely for all I care. Getting all nitpicky on how someone is trying to stop a genocide is in service of the genocide. If you dont like what Ansar Allah is doing you can call your rep and tell them to stop sponsoring genocide. Have some fucking priorities.
