  1. donโ€™t think the US can counter the Houthi blockade. This is not an anti piracy operation as the Houthis dont have to board or hijack a ship.
    All the Houthis need to do is to take shots from deep in their mountainous regions into the strait. They do t even need to strike a vessel.
    If they keep taking shots into the strait no insurance company and no shipping company will accept that risk.
    If you wanted to eliminate that risk youโ€™d have to invade Yemen and that would be a disaster that you would not want to even contemplate.
    I think the Houthis got Check mate here.

  2. This is to protect the 1% wealth.. this whole situation is about power and money of the 1%

  3. Where is United Nations? Yemen has a sit there? I haven't heard any word regarding this activities being conducted by the Houthi rebels. Oh its okay they are in solidarity with the Palestines.

  4. Lmao that one shipping container in the thumbnail is gay

  5. That thumbnail is MeMe worthy as it shows the true percentile of the "rainbow community" as opposed to the "regular community." So to speak.

  6. Thanks for this information ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ™

  7. Translation: New task force to protect israel at any cost, even to the last US, GB, France, Canadian sailor.

  8. They only attach Israeli ships or ships sailing to or from Israel

  9. Another feather in the cap of the Biden administration. This will mean inflation will go down Right? A point abc didnโ€™t mention is the loss of income for Egypt. They get about 600,000 dollars per every large ship that goes through the Suez Canal. Egypt will not be happy. Fill you gas tanks today.

  10. Damned well about time they start defending trade shipping going through there!

  11. "Newer tasks force, blah, blah, blah" More media BS. Not happening.

  12. Ahhahahhaha, this is why American Independence is so important.. but no no no ,climate change,, y'all a joke…

  13. The rainbow one has kids in it

  14. Oh where are we getting this oil BP is shipping? Hmmmm.

  15. Gas prices are falling? Is that a joke? They all think we are all so stupid

  16. yes a task force to protect weapons being sent to kill kids instead of hamas

  17. The US is going to fight a war over capitalism. So how many ppl will die for Americans to get their Christmas gifts on time.

  18. Maybe they can patrol the Rio Grande ๐Ÿค” you know to benefit US

  19. They need to inspect them for trafficking victims

  20. We could do something new and actually try to bring about peace in the region. Get Saudi Arabia to stop massacring Yemen and the same with Israel and Gaza!

  21. Yemen have the right to protect it self

  22. Attack all rainbow ships is their mission?

  23. USA should Maine there own businesses because itโ€™s going to create a lot of hate stop all this nonsense with Israel

  24. But pirates is the new left style

  25. Armed escalation coming soon.

  26. Ots funny that ots shows no one really gives two craps about the lbgqt community because there is only one container. Good we had enough of this proganda media crap

  27. The shipments that are going to Israel are the only ones that are been stop.

  28. The truth is the stage is being set up to attract Iran

  29. Of course, comments are being removed if they correctly state that a certain grubby, parasitic nation in the region controls our politicians and our horrible, immoral foreign policy. Remember Ep**ein/Maxwell and who they worked for?

  30. You want to say Yemeni army in the Red Sea. You should be accurate.

  31. President Biden quietly doing his job. So much better than the loudmouth alternative.

  32. What about maui Hawaii? How are they doing?

  33. Just remember to SEND THE BILL to the appropriate cheapskates, especially Panama and all those other scumbag 'flags of convenience'.

  34. Biden better get his crap together cuz things are getting real bad people

  35. The Houties are targeting Israeli ships or those going to Israel. Other ships are not in danger.

  36. How about a new task force to protect the Border!

  37. Surprised this hasn't happened earlier – years earlier. Why are they simply defending instead of eliminating the threat?

  38. American dont have health care or free college while zionts jews in assreal have both and American pays for it.

  39. Even little Rainbow Reich containers
