Red Sea / Houthi rebels situation

[Colonel_Klinck]

This is it. This is gonna kick off another ME war.

War with who? You think Yemen is going to war with the US and UK?

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Always the U.S and UK first ain't it.

How many countries in Europe, and its always us jumping in first. Can't help ourselves.

The world police.

So we should stand back and allow these terrorists to attack merchant shipping should we? How many ships have to be taken/sunk and sailors killed before you stop clutching your pearls?

Wouldn't really be a war more like a special military operation where one side only attacks and the other side just dies

And looking at the press reports it looks like several countries might have been involved. Nobody is going to stand by and watch their shipping be targetted.

It’s only 7:10am, and thats quite possibly the daftest thing I’ll read on the internet all day.
Well done you.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Glad we’re finally taking a stand. One would think we’ve been using this time to gather intelligence on locations to strike.

Yes but no police in our own country.

 

[JonRGV250]

Yes but no police in our own country.

Seems we can police any other waters in the world apart from our own.

Yes, quite.

 

[malachi]

Why in the name of god are we in this? With the US? To protect trade with... China which is using its considerable navy to blockade and intimidate countries surrounding the south china seas and western pacific trying to claim all of it as its own territorial waters it should be the one protecting its own trade christ knows why we're paying out to defend China's enormous trade disparity in global shipping.

Because there is money to be made in war, not in peace

Just googled what the biggest religion in Yemen is... Yep no surprise.

You must have had a really bad day when you did the same for Russia, right?

The fact someone had to google “what is the biggest religion in Yemen?” is the telling bit

 

[Uther]

Well tbh the world would probably be a better place if there was no loony religions (of all types) in it.

My suspicion is he didn't at all, he already knew, and it was simply a poor attempt to cover up, well you know right...

You certainly get agreement from me
Those who worship sky pixies however will disagree

 

[BUDFORCE]

What Islamic or Muslim?

I don't know the correct definition I couldn't care less really, I also don't see how the main religion of Yemen has anything to do with it, they might as well all be Jedi's.

Or is it supposed to be a west vs Islam thing? I mean don't go attacking (and god knows what) civilians driving cargo ships and guess what, you don't get bombed.

Seems pretty simple to me.

Every time religion gets mentioned it just causes more diversity.

 

[Uther]

I suppose now we sit back and see what the response from the houthis / Iran will be.

Possibly but all wars are fought over geography, religion is a smokescreen.
