      Each bomb that hits the houthis is a favor to the rest of the world. Given as a gift, by the USA.

          They should have taken it upon themselves to overthrow the houthis like 20 years ago already. The houthis holding the Suez hostage for more than a year economically hurts multiple billions of people. The damage they are feeling is a small fraction of the damage they have done to the rest of the world. It’s just not easy to show a representation of a small % of damage to the entire global economy like you can show a viral video clip of a bomb landing.

            This has to be the most vile comment I’ve read on lemmy. It’s like saying that the people in the twin towers deserved to die because they didn’t overthrow Bush.

        Brutally ‘solving’ a problem entirely caused by the U.S, all while trying to demand gratitude from the rest of the world.

        U.S foreign intervention in a nutshell, really

      JD Vance said in the signal messages they don’t know who the Houthis are. So surgical operations can’t really exist unless they spot some equipment and can identify it’s purpose as being an anti ship weapon.

      Really they are just bombing innocents more than likely and hoping for I don’t know what

    I want everyone who isn’t vocally opposing the war on terror to see videos like this until they fucking learn human empathy.

      I don’t think a missing human emotion can legitimately be learned. Sociopaths can do ok at faking it but they will never actually feel it.

        Yeah we learned last year that half of this fucking country runs on pure hate for anyone who isn’t exactly like them, and even then they’ll find reasons to hate them too. They’re suffering but other people suffering worse actually makes them feel better. Then they’re shocked and appalled when their Walmart trip gets more expensive and their response to it is that other people should still be hurt more.

        They have no empathy. They do not have the capability to think about anyone other than themselves, and it shows daily.

      The only difference between you and them is where their empathy lies. War is awful shit, but often used to end other much more awful, and less visible shit.

        You do realize we’re talking about the war on terror here right? If you think there’s something more awful than bombing an apartment building and killing 53 people being prevented by this shit then I don’t even know what to say.

          Well look into the deplorable shit happening in Yemen and see if you can find some things to say.

            But this bombing wasn’t about the “deplorable shit” happening in Yemen. It was about access to easier shipping routes. Thats it.

            +50 dead in this attack so boats didn’t have to go around the horn of Africa.

            Okay, and you think these bombings will lead to a regime change in Yemen? The Saudis tried that first. Low to moderate level foreign conflicts with a widely hated enemy (which the West and Israel are) do nothing but strengthen the ruling government. Hell, even a full-scale war isn’t at all guaranteed to remove the rulers from power, because it gives them legitimacy that they otherwise lack. This is why Hamas is still in power despite 18 years of blockades, three wars and a genocide.

              Just because someone tried it and it didn’t work, doesn’t mean you just say “fuck it”. You try new methods and keep working at the problem until it’s solved.

    This isn’t just a yemeni shopkeeper keeping calm. That’s probably his son.

    He’s scared shitless. But he also knows that if one of those bombs hits his shop, they’re dead. So he’s being a parent instead.

    In the face of crisis, the first thing a parent can do is either panic, making the entire experience worse for the kid, or stay calm and collected, demonstrating that “this too, shall pass.”
