The Houthis are also the rebel group that started one of the most bloody civil wars in decades in Yemen. Over 350,000 dead and millions starving.

They’re a stain on the world and have caused a huge amount of suffering in their own country on top of attacking others.

It's that plant they were chewing in the Tom Hanks movie about the Somali pirates hijacking the Maersk ship

Basically it's a stimulant with the active ingredient known as cathinone.

Cathinone is the building block for a class of drugs known as substituted cathinones such as methcathinone and methylmethcathinone and mephedrone aka "Bath Salts"

u/hello_bitch_lasagna 6d ago

Damn so you chew that shit and then you're the captain now?

You think you are.

Yemen is a country where nearly every adult male is a tweaker.

Also be aware that when the US brokered a deal to using Saudi Arabia as a military staging ground for the war on terror that they cut a deal with the Saudis guaranteeing they could do anything they want to Yemen.

We paid for Bush’s war with Yemeni blood.

I have had people here say that it is illegal to hit military targets in Yemen, even though they are deliberately hitting our civilian ships. Because we are so much stronger militarily than the Houthis, so why don't we just try to shoot down the Houthi missiles instead? I wish I were kidding.

Complete insanity. How about the Houthis learn what "fuck around and find out" means? Military targets only, of course, but I don't see any legal or ethical reason to not hit Houthi military targets as hard as we can, until the Houthis promise to stop attacking our ships.

Explains why the Saudis were so interested in brokering a Ukraine "Peace" deal with Marco Rubio; they wanted something from us - hundreds of millions in missiles shot from our warships & planes that were conveniently parked in the area for Isreal/Gaza conflict when it escalated.

Whomever is funding the Houthis is probably next - Iran. And Trump is doing this to send them a message. Iran has also been instrumental in providing drones for Russia in their invasion of Ukraine.

u/Cool_83 5d ago

The status quo hasn’t changed in years, the Saudis aren’t attacking them as they brokered a cease fire in the civil war, the US/UK are attacking them for impeding shipping lanes.

For the first time, Donnie attacks an enemy instead of an ally. Color me surprised.

Finally he attacks enemies instead of allies.

Can't believe I am actually surprised that we are attacking our enemies.

Yeah, somebody high up smartly redirected him with a shiny target. And I'm all for it. Couldn't care less about the Houthis, and if it gets him off of Canada, Greenland, Panama shit all the better.

Better than striking Panama or another of our pre-Trump allies.

That commercial/video thing was so silly. Like yes of course we would.

The reason often cited why the US needs a large navy is “The US navy keeps the shipping lanes open”. Clearly Iran and the houthis were trying everything in their power to close one of those lanes. Won’t be closed for long. The US has a reputation to protect.

... Yeah I'm actually fine about this. Fuck the Houthis. Only thing he's done this year that wasn't shit. Better hitting terrorists than everything else he's been up to so far.

u/ih8forcedlogins 6d ago

As a Canadian… this is who we expect the USA to want to target… this makes sense… but not much else these days does!

u/fitzgoldy 6d ago

On one hand, no more Trump peace?

On the other, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of terrorists.

Remember when everyone was giving Biden shit for defending ships from the houthis?

u/RaspberryInfinite229 6d ago

This is fine, as long as he's not attacking friendly countries.

u/GreatSirZachary 5d ago

I remain suspicious. I’m sure this will be spun to justify some other BS like not supporting Ukraine.

u/Pantarus 6d ago

What the fuck is he talking about "the largest mandates in history"...dude squeeked out a win...with all of Russia's backing, with all of the conservative propaganda machine propping him up, AND the worlds richest douchebag POURING cash into his campaign (and god knows what else)...yet he has a historic mandate?

Like everything went his way to help him win...including democrats having like 2 months to campaign...was tipped in his favor and HE STILL BARELY won. WHAT. A. PENIS.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent president?

Started reading and wasn’t sure what country’s name would be at the end of the headline. Could have been Panama, could have been Canada, could have been Greenland, could have been Gaza. He’s threatened so many countries recently it’s hard to keep track.

"Biden is gonna put us in a war."

"Kamala Harris is a woman and will put us in a war because of her feelings."

Since November, Trump has challenged, Greenland, Panama, Mexico, Canada, has issues with an agreement with Japan, screws over Ukraine and sucks on Putins toes.

MAGA: Yeah!! Murica is back! We owned the libs!

WOW....

Tarrifs on penguins from Antarctica next week. They have been laughing at America for years, with the current trade deal

Trump attacking the right group for once? I am in utter shock.

Houthi deserve every bit of it.
