What is it the Houthis are fighting and attacking civilian vessels for again? Can you explain?


Why yes! The houthis are fighting for the end of the illegal blockade of Gaza. They are only redirecting civilian ships at this time and any vessel that was struck, was done so because it ignored repeated warnings to divert its course. The Israeli port authority originally told maritime traffic to ignore/turn off its comms but the houthis put an end to that nonsense rather quickly

Ya they seem like they're willing to enter martyrdom over this cause. The statements some of their leaders make is absolutely wild and they do seem very unhinged.

It's hard to tell exactly who they are chill with right now because there's now alot of different countries that are being negatively impacted by all these tanker companies pulling out. I know that Egypt is currently the most affected by this blockade so there's definitely alot of Muslim countries that this hurts aswell but the houthis don't seem to care

I agree with you here but lets find out what these "repercussions"are going to be, because so far it's been nothing but American posturing with an international navy coalition. The fact that the houthis have been having a field day after directly attacking American and British destroyers still boggles my mind

Remind the world why you don't screw with maritime shipping lanes but apparently everyone in Washington is a bunch of pussies. There are numerous nato countries' bases all around the Red Sea but they sure as hell aren't going to do anything about it unless America takes charge.

Time is of the essence because while devastating for israel, having America's sphere of influence being questioned by a bunch of rebels with aks and a couple of fishing boats is a terrible look.

Israel is starting to have to resort to land bridges for their goods and Ynet news is already reporting shortages of essential goods.

We'll Biden admin is inept and US support back home is convoluted, so likely no one is taking charge unless some catalyst event pulls US further into action, like more bases getting attacked in the region. What should have happened is an early over-reaction tactical response, something like when Trump dropped a MOAB on the Afghan Pakistan border to annihilate alleged IS mines and tunnel systems. Maybe that is where we are headed, but seems late to send that message when US already taking some licks from primitive savages.

The land shipping lanes are smart move TBH for the time being.

Completely agree. An extremely strong message should of been sent the moment an American base or ship was attacked and the fact that its taken this long to gather an international navy task force to "test the waters" in the Red Sea just reeks of cowardice to me. The optics of the American navy getting its shit pushed in with no recourse has done nothing but embolden the muslim world.

Having some of the biggest shipping companies in the world publicly state that it's afraid because America wont do its job is the biggest L I have ever seen Uncle Sam take.
