I see you've completely ignored the observation that 'use US$, become us asset' dig because it hit dead center of your argument.

That's what a blockade looks like. What did you expect? It's not like the Houthis can blockade Israeli ports directly.

So they're reduced to attacking random ships, then claiming that they're somehow 'israel owne- UHHH I mean israel-afilliate- UHHH I mean they maybe stopped at israel I think so they're israeli assets! Obey me or else I'll put a jihad on you!'

Yeaaaaaah no. Fuck that and fuck them.

If you invest in a company you're affiliated with that company. Or do you think you're allowed to invest in companies that are hit with 'you're not allowed to to do business with them' sanctions by your own government?

Companies aren't state actors, though.

Barely any commercial ship is owned by the nations government. Please don't stoop to that level.

There you go. And that's why they should not be attacked in the name of 'muh war'.

You didn't post a single article from before October 7th. Are you referring to the UAE vessel? The same UAE that has been at war with the Houthis for quite a while now?

I quote you - "Barely any commercial ship is owned by the nations government. Please don't stoop to that level."
