They have been attacking everyone's ships since early 2024. After one month of being attacked now they want to claim they're not at war. This is why i said they should have been bombed earlier
They've been attacking Israel bound and Israel affiliated ships. They've not been attacking 'everyone's ships'. That's why no ships were attacked during the cease fire and only after Israel predictably cancelled the cease fire they resumed.
This is a retard take. So what if us ships are Israel bound. You think that gives them the right to attack them? And you think the US should accept that reasoning and acquiesce? Are you French?
And it's not even just us ships they're attacking. They should be bombed the instance they touched another nations ship
It's not a take. It's the facts. I simply corrected you.
They should be bombed the instance they touched another nations ship
The US is certainly trying to bomb them into the submission. Just as the Saudis tried before them. Unfortunately it's only wasting a lot of money and achieving nothing. Egypt had to learn that the hard way too.
But at least by that logic Israel should've been bombed into the stone age after they've tried to sink the USS Liberty. I can agree with that.
And for that, I am okay with saturation-bombing those fuckwits into 2000000 BC, then using poison gas to finish them off. Fuck their human rights the moment they marked us as 'infidels' to be exterminated for their wish.com knockoff sky daddy.
No, they haven't. They've been pretty open about who they attack and target and why. But you also think the Houthis 'pick on poor countries' which is rather strange.
It's only strange to you because you think they'll ever keep their word. Me, I've seen the damages, the repair bills and the damage they can do to vessels, people and to livelihoods.
Besides, hamas didn't differentiate between israeli and non-israelis on october 7th either. The houthis have shown themselves to attack indiscriminately as well. They're all the same.
It's only strange to you because you think they'll ever keep their word.
You can check their track record.

Shooting missiles at ships does damage. How strange.

Neither did Israel. They still don't. Sure is ironic when they kill their own hostages in an effort to kill as many Palestinians as possible. Occasionally even when they're walking towards them with a white flag.
They talk a lot about conquering the world because they have always been greedy parasites.

Bigger country that can afford to, shoots back. Cue them screaming truce after years of harassing vessels owned by poorer countries. Thats why I call them cowards.
Neither did Israel.
Congrats on turning regional sentiment for israel. Keep at it. /s
So, they already weren't attacking our ships? I'm not seeing how they're our problem. Let Liberia and Malta defend their own ships, we have no reason to carry out expensive bombing raids on their behalf. And if shipping companies want our protection, then they should pay to register their ships with us.
These people are retarded monkeys whose culture values acting tough and talking shit but don't seem to realise it's not wise to hit targets bigger than they can handle.
If I was going to guess I would say it's because they've attacked American ships and the Suez Canal is one of the most important shipping routes in the world but I'm not a fucking retard so there might be other reasons.
Meanwhile if you just write a "fuck isreal" letter they intend to leave you alone. Which leaves me torn because I just really like that kind of energy. Whether I strictly believe them or not.
There's a minimum IQ threshold for being able to learn about Israel or Jews and if you don't meet it, it will completely destroy your ability to think about anything else forever.
Marine Corps but yes. The Navy, which interestingly enough was founded primarily with privately owned warships, was founded during the Revolutionary War.
yea.. wouldn't want the jew bankers to lose sleep.. get some poor US kids over there to take the shit.
gotta clear up that /major/ bottleneck. where zero goods and services that you and I use or benefit from travel through. blackrock is going to lose a few points though, so, punch up "Fortunate Son" on the jukebox and make those kids do things they will regret the rest of their lives.
No, we don't want you to do anything. We don't care about you, and want to stop spending money on you because you're a fucking parasitic nation who can't get along with its neighbors or stand on its own.
Ha, there are other nations in the world, with specific maritime bunkering deals with America, with entire currencies and banking systems handed over to the US in exchange for protection by pax Americana.
We'll defend ourselves if it means regaining the sovereignty of our currency and banks, using the tactics of Shores of Tripoli as a guide, so please tell the US government to avoid screaming about genocide and don't send in the CIA to 'install democracy'.
It went really badly for us last time they did that.
World police to the rescue. Really, if these big international shipping companies want their cargo to be protected by the biggest, most expensive navy in the world, then they should start paying to fly our flag instead of registering with the cheapest 3rd world shithole they can find.
Blame the EU for targeting our financial lines the moment we try to toe their "economic suicide sanctions". Now, big countries can afford repairs for their merchant vessels with ease, but when we're the third world and every trip a matter of a company staying alive or not, hell yes world police slaughtering muslim pirates.
Now tell me how expensive it is to fly the American flag instead of registering with third world shitholes, and the regulatory red tape that comes with dealing with the bloated US government. Hell, tell me of the legends of the DMV.
So, taxpayers should pay to provide charity for foreign shipping companies? I'm sure that made sense back when our policy was to send as many American jobs overseas as we could, but not so much now that we're trying to bring them back. If foreign companies want protection, let them pay for it.
Alright, then the US government should not complain when we increase our military budgets and acquire cruise missiles, right? That's fair, right? I'm sure the US is willing to sell us those B-2 bombers as well. If not, we'll just have to buy those russian bombers.
Ha, last time we did, the yankees went on and on about human rights. Either play world police or sell us the weapons we need to fix shit on our own. Can't be both, man.
And hey, we wouldn't be piss poor if the CIA didn't bungle everything here. So, hello from the 52nd state.

If they are at war with Israel, they have the right to attack Israel-bound ships, I believe.
Then expect the Israel bound ships owners to attack back
...which is exactly what is happening. They still have the right, though.
Oh yes they have.

Do the American service-men onboard those navy bombers even know why they're fighting them to begin with?
Or is it "I WILL DIE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY PAY MY SALARY" type situation?
If I was going to guess I would say it's because they've attacked American ships and the Suez Canal is one of the most important shipping routes in the world but I'm not a fucking retard so there might be other reasons.
They were attacking a Singaporean cargo ship bound for isreal. The US commander felt he had to step in.

Meanwhile if you just write a "fuck isreal" letter they intend to leave you alone. Which leaves me torn because I just really like that kind of energy. Whether I strictly believe them or not.
You are a fucking retard.
they won't believe you.
This is the correct answer.
There's a minimum IQ threshold for being able to learn about Israel or Jews and if you don't meet it, it will completely destroy your ability to think about anything else forever.
Killing Muslim pirates is what the US Navy was founded for.
Marine Corps but yes. The Navy, which interestingly enough was founded primarily with privately owned warships, was founded during the Revolutionary War.
If it was for American interests, for sure.
But if its on the behest of another "middle Eastern" country that thoroughly hates and condemns White Christians then Fuck no.
It's a major trading bottleneck. The Houthis are costing the world money and thus need to go the way of the dinosaurs.
yea.. wouldn't want the jew bankers to lose sleep.. get some poor US kids over there to take the shit.

sensible.
So you want us to either starve to death or submit to islamic tyranny.
Typical muslims.
I don't know who "us" is but I'll assume Israel.
No, we don't want you to do anything. We don't care about you, and want to stop spending money on you because you're a fucking parasitic nation who can't get along with its neighbors or stand on its own.
