Yemeni Houthis have attacked the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea. The strike was carried out in response to US airstrikes on Yemen, reports Al Jazeera and Houthi Brigadier General Yahya Saree.
“The Houthi military spokesperson said that the group has responded to the US bombing of Yemen by attacking the USS Harry S Truman with ballistic missiles and a drone,” the report said.
Yahya Saree specified that the Houthis launched 18 missiles. He also claimed that the US had carried out more than 47 airstrikes on several Yemeni provinces, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.
Guys this was always a bad idea, but like right now especially this seems like a very bad choice to make. Christ knows we’re looking to make an example out of some more brown people…
What do you think the US has been doing in yemen for the last twenty years?
There hasn’t been a week in the last twenty years where US bombs haven’t killed yemeni civilians.
I think it’s been established that the Houthis are not afraid of American imperialism. I mean they’re part of the Axis of Resistance, not the Axis of Acquiescence.
The BGM-109 does not care whether or not you are afraid of American imperialism. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn’t. And where it isn’t, but wants to be, is you.
If a movement doesn’t understand the difference between picking one’s battles and acquiescense, it’s cause is already long lost.
The rate at which the trump admin is willing to turn Resistance Fighters into Martyr Paste is unsustainable for everyone except the trump admin. Antagonizing that administration now, during one of it’s many fits of impotent self-importance, is going to end in more dead civilians than if you’d just waited a few days for it’s idiot attention span to burn out. It’s not a war of attrition based on the competing political wills of two populaces any more, its an abhorent massacre overseen by a psycho. The name of the game is no longer ‘Defeat or Drive Out’, its ‘Survive’.
Isn’t Martyr Paste the stuff that brought down the WTC? If they keep making more and more of it, it’s inevitably going to end up on their faces.
The Houthis possess over plan B: flatten all Saudi oil reserves and refineries and collapse the global economy.
Ultimately it is the Houthis holding the cards here. Though most Americans do not seem to know it.
As contentious statements go, “The average american does not posess even an abstract understanding of the political and economic realities present in the mid. east” is one I wouldn’t even consider objecting to.
Fucking lmao.
It’s going to be wall-to-wall shocked pikachu in American media when the most incompetent bunch of military leaders the US has ever had makes a mistake and one of their aircraft carriers gets sunk.
Don’t touch the boats - Japan learned that the hard way
Also I love HLC he comes up with the best bits.
