A cargo ship that was struck by a Houthi ballistic missile on Monday has created an 18-mile long oil slick in the Red Sea as it continues to take on water, two US officials said Friday.
The M/V Rubymar — a Belize-flagged, UK-registered, Lebanese-owned vessel — was carrying 41,000 tons of fertilizer when it was struck on Monday by one of two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi territory in Yemen.
US Central Command said the ship is currently anchored as it takes on water. “The Houthis continue to demonstrate disregard for the regional impact of their indiscriminate attacks, threatening the fishing industry, coastal communities, and imports of food supplies,” US Central Command said.
Doesn’t matter. It’s civil disobedience with missiles. The point is less to destroy an enemy, and more to cause enough fuss that the various Western powers - almost all of whom are supporting the genocide in Palestine - change their behavior under the pressure.
Civil disobedience doesn’t include violence. Much less military power.
Insert whatever word you prefer. Agitation, strong-arm tactics… go nuts.
Attention seeking destruction.
Yah, that works.
Civil disobedience: refusal to obey governmental demands or commands especially as a nonviolent and usually collective means of forcing concessions from the government - Merriam-Webster
This is not civil disobedience by any definition. It is violent, and it is not refusing to follow an unjust law.
Tell me, when did Dr. King or Ghandi shoot missiles at people?
It was an analogy, bub. Touch grass.
funny way to spell terrorism.
Lemmy probably defended ISIS too.
DAE stopping Genocide is the same as doing Genocide?
If you don’t even know the difference between ISIS and the Houthi’s because you think every Arab group is the same, don’t comment on foreign policy.
