As someone who filed his taxes a month ago, on one hand I am impressed and humbled by Yemen's -137th nominal GDP- resilience, and on the other disgusted that this is what my tax money is going to.
This article is from a month ago, so it doesn't include the price of the two F/A-18s which were converted into an artificial reef.
During the brief ceasefire that started in January of this year, Yemen halted all attacks on Israel and paused its blockade on Israeli ships and those heading to Israel. Yemen has proven that if the genocide and blockade stops they will stop.
"Israel is fighting to save the values of Western Civilization" -- Israeli president Isaac Herzog on MSNBC
With the EU demonizing Qatar, they don't have many other sources besides perhaps the US and Canada which will cost them more.
Yemen is enforcing a blockade on Israeli ships and ships heading to/from Israel in direct response to the genocide and blockade on Gaza. The US instead of compelling Israel to allow aid into Gaza, is instead allowing them to starve hundreds of thousands and protecting them from the consequences. When Israel briefly allowed aid into Gaza during the ceasefire, Yemen honored the ceasefire and stopped targeting Israeli ships and ships heading to Israeli ports.
You are either lying or ignorant. But even if we accept your piracy claims, what's worse piracy or genocide and forced starvation? How many innocent people were killed due to the piracy you claim versus that who were killed due to the US's and UK's response to it?
Aircraft carriers is how the US projects power anywhere anytime in the globe. I wonder where does this leave the US's chances against China if they are having a bad time against a poor country with negligible military and no manufacturing base that suffered a decade of blockade, famine and bombings.

On Sunday, the #UN agency for Palestinian refugees ( #UNRWA) warned that the humanitarian situation across the #Gaza Strip is beyond imagination, calling on the international community to take serious action to stop this #catastrophe from reaching unseen levels. #Starvation #Genocide #Israel

Another 73 million USD in the bottom of the Red Sea. Yemen is the poorest Arab state and one of the poorest countries in the world (137th GDP nominal). The US is going to war with them to protect Israel from the consequences of the genocide and blockade in Gaza.
The point of the system is what it does. None of this is happening by chance or due to one or two bad actors

Smotrich: Gaza will be ‘totally destroyed’ within months, population ‘concentrated’ in narrow border area

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL — ISRAEL AT WAR — DAY 578
“Within a few months we will be able to declare that we have won. Gaza will be totally destroyed,” Smotrich says at the “Settlements Conference” in the West Bank settlement of Ofra, organized by the Makor Rishon newspaper.
“In another six months Hamas won’t exist as a functioning entity... The population of Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards. The rest of the Strip will be empty.”
Adds the finance minister: “The Gazan citizens will be concentrated in the south. They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”
I’m curious why this got downvoted. I read the rules twice before posting to make sure I wasn’t overstepping or misstepping.
A city that had a well known car traffic problem, found an alternative solution to lane widening and the data backs it. You can take this as evidence to your city planner and convince them that grade-separated rail works and chances are, cheaper than lane-widening for your city, and can be quite transformative even in regions where car culture is dominant. It is as appropriate as a post for a “Fuck Cars” community can be, and proves the point everyone here is promoting.
Reuters is shit. Notice how they label Hamas’ attack as “deadly” while ignoring the genocide and starvation Israel is guilty of. A 1000 settlers were possibly killed by the resistance (See: Hannibal Directive) and it is the end of the world, over 50,000 Palestinians killed and thousands more injured and starving, it is just a military offensive.
Racism mostly...
