Summary
U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen killed at least 31 and injured 101, according to the Houthi health ministry.
The strikes followed renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, which they say are in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
A Houthi spokesperson vowed retaliation, stating, “Our response will not be delayed.” Trump warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis, while Iran distanced itself from the group.
The conflict has disrupted Red Sea shipping, prompting the U.S. to redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization earlier this month.
I wonder how long the world is going to be okay with America using deadly violence in the Middle East as a way to mask and deflect from domestic turmoil? At least our “coalition of the willing (to commit war crimes)” is getting smaller.
ehhh… fuck it, let’s earn some downvotes.
I’m really not going to lose sleep over a group that intentionally targets civilian ships staffed, with you know, innocent civilians.
Trump sucks. But Iran’s upper leadership also sucks, and they’re funding this.
It’s hilarious that your name is Robin Hood but you’re completely against imposing a blockade to stop a genocide
That’s just how blockades work; what else do you want them to do?
well, I dunno, maybe not blockade?
Uh… You do know why they’re imposing a blockade right?
A blockade doesn’t work if you can’t defend it. They can do whatever they want but actions have consequences.
Okay? It worked the last time they did it so there’s no reason to believe it won’t work now.
Damaging trade through the Suez effects everyone negatively. If anything this will be one of his more popular moves.
Yes someone please think of the Economy! /S
Yes?

Ah no your poor financial burdens. If only there was another way to live.
I mean, literally, if only. Not the dude you’re arguing with. Am another dude.
Sure we can dream up other ways to live, and we collectively could achieve them. But for many, many people it’s simply not possible right now
Right now is possible, but you would have to leave your couch, it would be uncomfortable, and you’d maybe have to get your hands dirty. Let’s just Uber eats instead.
