    I mean who is gonna stop him?

    From retributive action against terrorists performing unprovoked attacks against civilian ships of numerous countries in international waters?

    No one, probably?

        Yeah, I’m sure those non-Israeli civilian ships not even heading to Israel are really provoking the Houthis with their genocidal actions.

            Yes. Do you understand the idea of a ‘neutral nation’ or ‘international waters’?

              Yemen explicitly rejected neutrality. That’s well within their rights when a genocide is happening at their doorstep.

                You do understand that these ships being attacked are ships of neutral nations, right?

                You do understand that… right?

                And that the attacks aren’t happening in Yemeni territorial waters or Israeli territorial waters, but in international waters.

                You realize that… right?

                … right…?

                    They’re literally not, though. The Houthis have been indiscriminately attacking ships passing through the area, which is largely used for passage through the Suez Canal - the only alternative being making a trip all the way around Africa.

            In international waters? Better have a strong navy

        2 wrongs don’t make a right. Uninvolved civilians just working a shift don’t deserve to die
