    This whole conflict is a bit more complex than that and stuff like this doesn’t help at all. The main reason for those bombings is that they attack merchant ships. So the ships have to take a way longer route around Africa, that takes around two weaks longer. So the western world has two options.

    1. Defend their merchant ships or in the case of USA attack the land bases from where those attacks were startet
    2. Do nothing and just bow to some autotarian leader, signaling that they can do whatever they want

      Would be swell if there was a third option that involved stopping the backing of the genocide that the Israelis are perpetrating which coincidentally is also what Ansar Allah’s demand is.

      “bUt ItS cOmPlIcAtEd!!!” Supporting genocide or not seems pretty binary to me.

      Having the opinion of “it’s complex” without actually forming an opinion on those complexities is supporting the status quo.

      The status quo is genocide.

      It may benefit you to actually read articles about the blockade AnsarAllah is enacting as even Western propaganda rags usually slide in 1 line saying the purpose of it is to pressure the end of the genocide.

      Accurate username if nothing else- you really are a “friendly” (smug and willfully misinformed) utter dickhead.

      If the “western world” only has two options- what does that say about all the various countries held under (illegal) unilateral sanctions and blockades by the US? For that matter, why shouldn’t the Arab nations exercise their sovereign right to their own waters, when the shipping involved is accessory to genocide of their own ethnic kin no less? Fuck right off if you want to claim otherwise to any of this.

      Furthermore - it’s lovely how you resort straight away to the tried-and-true smear of “authoritarianism” (or you tried to anyways- you can’t even spell it right). Because of course, all those brown Muslims who don’t know their place are the “authoritarians,” right? Which nations are it exactly, which is illegally striking Yemeni cities at the moment? Which nations are the ones unilaterally backing a genocide which has seen the destruction of 2%- nearing or past 3% even, of the civilian population of Gaza so far? Which nations are illegally stationed in Syria, and in Iraq (where the government has repeatedly stated their presence is not welcome, and the only reason western troops are there to begin with is due to a brutal invasion and occupation)? Which “defensive treaty organization” has made it their business, to destroy popular secular Arab governments, from Iraq, to Libya, and now to Syria?

      Literally shut the fuck up. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

          Ok I read it. There wasn’t actually a lot of arguments regarding my case. How is trade between Europe and Asia supply for Israel. I am not even pro Israel. I am just against dumb arguments and comics that do not have any argument whatsoever.

        He does know what he is talking about about. He is much worse than stupid, that can be excused. He is a western chauvinist racist. Nobody is this dumb, I refuse to believe it.

          His silence definitely shows what he really is- hence “willfully misinformed” in my view. He would sooner deny reality and claim black is white, and up is down, than admit the white Aryan “ubermensch” states could be the ones at fault.

              Imagine there is no future.

              It’s easy if you try

              Human nature compels destruction

              We were destined to all die

              Imagine all the people

              Living for today

              Imagine loving your country

              No matter what they do

              Everything to kill or die for

              And our flag religion too

              Imagine all the people

              Living life in war

              You may say I’m a dick head

              But I’m not the only one

              I hope someday you’ll join us

              And the world will be done

              Clinging to your possessions

              Take it all when you can

              The need for greed and hunger

              A cruelty of man

              Imagine all the people

              Destroying all the world

              You may say I’m cancer

              But I’m not the only one

              I hope someday you’ll join us

              And the world will be done.

      Damn, America literally has sanctioned people for much much less than a genocide like the crime of not giving their crude oil to Exxon for zero dollars a barrel. So either admit you are racist or STFU.
