  The US and UK bomb Yemen to save shipping lanes and genocide This was an incredible act of humanitarianism LAURA K Due to widespread concern that South Africa was going to stop a genocide at the International Court of Justice, the world’s best imperialists, the US and UK, have come to the rescue. As lawyers spelled out the extent of Israel’s war crimes in court, our leaders said: “Oh, you like war crimes? We have plenty more where they come from. We literally invented war crimes!” and they started bombing the shit out of Yemen to create a massive diversion. You can forgive my excitement! One political commentator, who is even better at bullshit than me, explained the Houthis pose a grave threat to working class sailors by not sinking a single vessel and promising to stop when Israel’s genocide stops. In other words, if you don’t support war against one of the most impoverished nations on earth, it’s because you hate working class people! I’m confused by this logic because I support w

  Major Escalation: Biden Launches War On Yemen MIKE WHITNEY   https://twitter.com/ZainAbbadi11/status/1743957976967242127 Wait, wait, wait….. the UN voted for a ceasefire in the Red Sea (where the Yemenis harmed 0 humans)….

Tony Montana @9mmScorpion On Tuesday, the Houthis launched their largest attack on ships in the Red Sea to date. 21 missiles and drones –that were launched from positions on mainland Yemen– were shot-down by US and British warships patrolling the area. No casualties were reported. According to a Houthi spokesman,  the attack was retaliation for the killing of 10 Houthi militants who were strafed by US helicopter gunships  while trying to board the Maersk Hangzhou on Sunday. The western media has omitted this critical fact from their reporting in order to conceal the provocation that triggered Tuesday’s attack on US and UK warships.  The Houthis say the Hangzhou refused to respond to r

  Honey Trap for Israelis and Americans in the Red Sea JOHN HELMER The Iranian intelligence vessel,  MV Behshad , at anchor in the Red Sea, is a honey trap intended to lure both the Israelis and US Navy into an attack, according to Russian and other sources. The French and Spanish navies appear to anticipate or to know: they have announced they will not operate their warships in the area under US command. Instead, the French have  said  they will restrict their operations to guarding their own French-flagged vessels and cargoes. The French Navy also appears to have agreed to clear the backlog of Maersk container vessels trapped and no longer under way in the Red Sea and in the  Gulf of Aden. The French and similar disclaimers from Spain and Italy follow maritime media reports of acrimonious disputes between the Europeans and the US over the US priority to attack the Houthis and save Israel. The Europeans, including the Italian and Greek navies, which have also announced they are sendin
