    I can only imagine being so brainwashed to believe that the Houthis harassing, threatening and attacking one of the biggest international trade routes on Earth, while indiscriminately targeting ships from various countries and ignoring multiple warnings from the UN, Britain and the US, is in any way legitimate.

    They attacked civilian ships, they were warned not to, they didn’t stop attacking civilian ships, and now they’ve been retaliated against as promised. Let’s see if they’re smart enough to finally stop fucking with international civilian trade ships.

      But when americans use naval ships to stop civilian ships from getting to Cuba is that them threatening and attacking civilians?

      ignoring multiple warnings from the UN, Britain and the US

      So everyone needs to follow Americas orders without question?

      They attacked civilian ships

      Thats how a blockade works, yes.

        Thanks for this response, I didn’t have the mental capacity to frame it this well.
