The United States and Britain launched dozens of military strikes on Yemen on Thursday, raising fears of an escalation of conflict in the region. The strikes, launched in response to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea that have disrupted global trade, left at least five people dead. The Houthi movement began targeting ships in November “essentially using a naval blockade in the Red Sea to prevent the blockade against civilians in Gaza,” according to our guest, Yemeni American scholar Shireen Al-Adeimi. “This is an offensive act. This is a breach of Yemeni sovereignty,” she says about the U.S. coalition’s strikes, which were launched without approval from Congress, and which Al-Adeimi additionally characterizes as “a defense of capitalism.”
At the end of this next year, there will be more Palestinians on this planet than there were last year. That’s the reality of the situation. We’re about to have the world’s first genocide where the population grew… The people of Gaza are a large portion of Palestinians, they have genocidal leadership who are clearly intent on attacking their neighbors until they’re all dead. They’ve said so recently, yet it’s not really working out for them it appears.
Gazans should join their brothers in Jordan, they’ll be better off under a kingdom that doesn’t want them than they are in the democratic society they’ve built for themselves. They don’t really seem capable of self government given they are overwhelmingly in support of their current ‘leaders’ who openly say they are not responsible for the well being of the citizens.
How many of the attacked cargo ships were transporting weapons? And what, cargo ships transporting Russian oil are just fair game for NATO to blow up now because they’re funding genocide?
yes, but the Russians have nukes so actually no. If you have nukes you basically get to do what you want and the other great powers don’t get to attack you. If you don’t have nukes you don’t get that privilege
Hundreds to thousands of nukes, mostly yes. one to tens of, not so much. People don’t want nukes to be used, but having a supply of 20 nukes or so would not get the world to let you do whatever you wanted.
And at a certain point, even the hundreds to thousands may still lead to war, if pressing too hard.
It should be a no-brainer to not fund and ship weapons to a state committing a genocide, and yet here we are.

All natives resist colonialism, the only genocidal maniacs are the Zionist invaders.
