            man i wish there were some way to test that theory

            maybe we could do sort of a ‘stopping the ongoing genocide’ test run, see how they respond

            and then keep it going indefinitely because genocide is bad

            They flew in with a Palestinian flag on their helicopter. Their own flag say’s death to Israel and America; the nations doing the genocide and sponsoring the genocide. And all of this is after they just survived a genocide at the hands of the Saudi’s with US bombs and went on to win the war.

            Maybe, just maybe, they mean what they say.

            Why would they attack international shipping if not to stop genocide?

            There is no reason for them to do this aside from being the only people with enough morals to step up against Genocide Joe.

                The ships have already received warnings not to pass through and they decide to ignore them.

                Also there are tunnels and a command center beneath the ships so Yemen has the right to defend themselves.

                • Yemen: I’m blockading the Red Sea to stop the genocide in Gaza.
                • US: Iran, please tell Yemen to stop.
                • Iran: lol no, this is righteous.

                Somehow this makes them Iran’s puppets. Oh well, guess we’ll have to do “Operation Enduring Freedom part 2: Prosperity Guardian”. Can’t just tell Bibi to stop.

          Insurance costs for sailing through the red sea are a verifiable metric, and it actually costs at least an order of magnitude more than it used to.

          Are you saying the insurers are part of an international cabal of deep state global elites who actually provide lower rates to transportation companies than they state, or somehow hand over those profits freely to Wal-Mart so they can double-dip on the price gouging…???

          Like bruh you can criticize price gouging without falling head-over-heels into insane crackpot conspiracy theories. Missiles are being fired, ships have to divert south around Africa, shipping gets expensive, simple as.
