Ships travel through an area freely that brings trade to United States, trade threatened, United States intervenes its the easiest 1+1 = 2
None of the answers or explanations that assume the US has jurisdiction to police the world are satisfactory answers. Might does not make right, and it never will. The Houthis have just as much right to blockade Israel as America has in blockading Gaza. The difference is power.Ships travel through an area freely that brings trade to United States, trade threatened, United States intervenes its the easiest 1+1 = 2
It's not the trade restricting to Yemen specifically (which is a different topic 100%) - it's about what is coming out of that area to the northwest from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, etc.The US has been restricting trade to Yemen for a decade. Where was the outcry? Who polices the police?
but it’s absolutely propaganda that all trade is being blockaded in the Red Sea.It's not the trade restricting to Yemen specifically (which is a different topic 100%) - it's about what is coming out of that area to the northwest from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, etc.

Regarding the US, there’s no genocide or quagmire that could surprise me. None of it is righteous, no matter how hard it makes your dickSure, anybody can blockade anything they want. Don't be surprised when a superior naval power blows you up though.
making Bin Laden’s argument for him, imThe US intervenes for essentially 4 major reasons- Trade, Capitalism, Oil, and perceived threat aka terrorism. You keep yourself clear of those 4 and you can live a bliss US free life. It’s why so much conflict happens in Africa and the US just chills.
yepThe belief that the US/West are bombing the Houthis to protect global trade through the Red Sea is just lazy, I apologize, but it is. It’s not even good or convincing propaganda.
The official government records of all the propaganda, corruption, and ineptitude behind every major military conflict since WW2 has been exposed at this point. You can fucking Wikipedia these things now, the people who still believe in the trustworthiness and righteousness of the US government are choosing to remain ignorant and naive at this point.Who's learning about the history of Western/US propaganda? The history is the propaganda.
