Have you tried… not supporting genocide?
The US has a good option: pull out
So, no trade via the Suez Canal? I’m sure that will help inflation.
The US is free to pull the leash on its attack dog and call for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is a blockade for a blockade and veto for a veto. You are seeing Yemen responding to US aggression.
Nor for Israel, no.

What country are you in and where can I learn more about your comment?
You are delusional and haven’t learned anything from losing in Afghanistan or Iraq. Clearly you are eager for the US to be defeated once again.
The US can call for a ceasefire in Gaza if it wants Yemen to end its blockade on Israeli ships and ships heading to Israeli ports. Otherwise, it has earned this and can only blame itself.
Please I encourage you to emigrate to Yemen and volunteer for the Houthi cause. One less piece of shit cluttering up our nation.
I’m more useful living in Saudi Arabia and sending them donations. I wish I could fight, but everyone has a role to play and destiny chose them to lead and show the rest of the Arab World how to stand up to imperialism and in support of Palestine.
I’m surprised someone from lemmy.world thinks world = USA. Your comment would make more sense if your domain was lemmy.usa or something.

And let them take innocent people hostage?

US is not the fucking world police. It’s absolutely incredible westerners think they have the right to just unilaterally strut around the world and do whatever they like.
innocent people
Hah! Funny! I hope you are lying and don’t actually believe it.
We both clearly want the same thing though, but we foresee different outcomes. We want to bait the US into another war in our region because we have strong confidence it will be defeated. You though clearly forgot the lessons of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and need a refresher :)
So the workers on the tankers getting shot at are considered enemy combatants? Because if not, then they’d be innocent people.
They’re about as much enemy combatants as workers in military factories, and those have been fair game since forever.
Innocent people have nothing to hide and would respond to the requests of authorities. The ships were clearly headed to enemy ports, and intentionally ignored the requests to turn around.
Edit: The Red Sea and the Arabian Sea are under Yemeni authority. Non-enemy ships can pass, but for the enemy… Don’t like it? You are free to sail around Africa
You’re not suggesting a rules-based international order, are you?
No. Rules imply they are capricious and can change at whim. We have seen that in the US’s actions many times. What the world need are laws that no one can be above or allowed to veto.
I think they mean out of Israel since that’s why the Houthis are attacking but that would mean giving up a strategic advantage in the middle east so very little chance that’ll ever happen
So it’s okay to attack US Naval vessels without ramifications now?

Respecting their wishes in not being called that is a great first step.
Doesn’t the US have a navy so big that the next 3 biggest navies combined aren’t as big or something insane like that?
The article itself doesn’t really explain much. Apparently one destroyer managed to hold off 9 hours worth of attacks and the US has mostly been using SAM platforms to shoot down missiles but nothing about how Houthis could actually achieve anything.
I would even cheer for the Houthis if they were fighting to support Palestine even if it is hopeless but they are just doing Somali pirates 2.0 from the look of things.
The egregious cost of interceptors compared to the missiles themself make it possible for even Yemen to drain US military assets in the region.
I saw it coming. Just watch it play out. Yemen will make the US miss its losses in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The burger empire has met its match.
Pffft
Go Houthis go! 🎉🎉
