    Do you honestly think they are actually choosing which ships to target? They literally attacked a ship going to Iran

    Would you be ok if the american navy started shooting iranian civilian ships? Are we saying that civilian targets going through international waters are valid military targets? Should other countries do that too?

    What would become of the world then? Do you think that would improve the world? If any country starts hitting civilian targets? Why stop at ships? Why not start nuking cities because you dont like something? As long as you have, what you consider, a “valid” ethical issue you should be allowed to do anything you want.

        You’re delusional. The houthis are shitth. The idf and the houthis can both be shitty at the same time. Two wrongs don’t make a right, it’s not hard to understand.

          Ansarallah has said specifically that they will stop if there is a permanent ceasefire. That is the one demand.

        Should the american navy start sinking russian civilian ships to make Russia stop invading Ukraine?

          No one thinks through the things they say here. It’s just what feels good in the moment. At this point any country has free reign to attack any vessel they desire in international waters. Shit, Japan should start launching rockets at Chinese civilian ships because of Hong Kong/Taiwan; US should attack any Russian civilian ships because of Ukraine; any other military operations we should be conducting around the world on behalf of anyone?
