America and Israel, bombing and killing poor people all over the Middle East these days. That'll get the populations of these countries to not have hatred for America and Israel. Just bomb them more so they'll love you.

Those cables are not carrying 99% of the world’s internet traffic - not even close. It would cause pretty bad problems in the general region (I doubt these countries have the overland capacity of ours (US)).

But, yeah, they are willing to let the whole world burn. Hell if I know why.

How is the red sea fiber responsible for 99% of internet traffic?

Unless we are all Jen?

You know all this would go away if America pressures Israel to stop committing genocide against helpless civilians.

Or it could simply stop the weapons shipments, which seem to arrive daily in Israel. Either way, America can make this all go away.

Yeah but that would take some diplomacy and moral fibre, things that American politicians are sorely lacking when it comes to dealing with Israel and the middle east

Considering this is posturing against Saudi Arabia to get better terms in the peace talks, that seems rather unlikely.

or, another idiot fails geopolitics 101.

Our paltry efforts have no effect.
Only mass death will deter the enemy. Seems we would rather yield the oceans than actually put up a fight.

Sinking ship hit by Houthi missile leaves 18-mile oil slick in Red Sea

The M/V Rubymar — a Belize-flagged, UK-registered, Lebanese-owned vessel — was carrying 41,000 tons of fertilizer when it was struck on Monday by one of two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi territory in Yemen.
US Central Command said the ship is currently anchored as it takes on water.

Western countries could always stop arming and supporting the genociders in Israel if they truly want this to stop
100%

The Houthi spokesman I listened to not too long ago seemed very reasonable. He says he stands with the Palestinians.

So the answer here is to stop sending Israel weapons to commit genocide and these Houthi attacks will go away. Now, if you are John Bolton or Zionist Mike Pompeo, you want to antagonize the Houthis and other regional militia groups more in order to start a war with Iran, because according to them, Iran controls all these groups. So the West has to decide, does it want to go the way of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo and continue with the Israeli genocide, or does it want this to end? At this point, we think we have an answer.

And by the way, it was not accurate of me to simply call the Houthis a militia. They are now recognized in Yemen as the government for the most part.

The Houthi have their own foreign and domestic agendas and are implementing them under cover of the war.

If the Israeli war on Gaza stopped tomorrow the Houthis would not.

Anyway Iran doesn't seem interested in a wider war by any stretch otherwise they would not be selling, surely for an incredible fortune, many ballistic missiles to Russia.

Explain to me why the Houthis did not do this stuff before the Israeli genocide. They have made it clear that this is about the Israel/Palestine conflict. They leave many ships of many other countries alone. Since the USA has decided to bomb Yemen in order to protect Israel, the Houthis will go after US shipping. Makes sense if you think about it. You are right that Iran doesn't want war but the neocon evil people in the US want that. John Bolton, Lindsay Graham, etc.

Paltry effot? Ok buddy. You and your Western hegemonic policies have made mess of the world as it is. So you want to bomb one of the poorest countries in the world after you guys wrecked Lybia, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, etc?

We know you and Pompeo and Lindsay Graham are getting very excited about war with Iran. War mongers going to do these things right? No wonder countries are leaving the Western hegemonic system. Enough bullying and colonization of peoples of the world. There is a joke that if two countries are fighting it means the British were nearby. We know the borders of much of the world and the current fighting is because of European colonialism. The Yemenis know this and are not going to sit back and watch the Palestinians get wiped out.

Start by stopping your support for genocidal Israeli bombings.

No I will not shut up. If the moderator bans me, great, I will have no problem with that. Until then, I will not shut up when speaking about such matters. Please feel free to ignore me I will be happy with that.

You have no right to speak about terrorism and violence. Much of the mess in the Middle East and other parts of the world is because of US regime change operations, i.e, terrorism. And you European vassals stood by and let this happen.

Palestine has no hope of defeating Israel so they should just surrender. Similarly the Houthis have no hope of defeating America so they should similarly surrender.

Am I doing this right?

I answered this prior so no more response to his. Different conflicts have different threads. This place is ridiculous.

Oh I know, I was just pointing out your massive hypocrisy.

Whether you respond or not I’ll keep letting everyone know about your utter lack of morals or principles. How fun for us both!

Not a problem!

While I couldn’t speak for what the world sees as you claim to because we both know that’s stupid, I can speak to what people see about you just on this board. Outrage against genocide for you is selective based on who is doing it.

I hope someday you are able to gain some perspective on the world and feel some shame for your behavior.
