    Not sure if you paid any attention the last months but the Brits joined America in their war on Yemen. They started bombing Yemen along with America to help israel’s Genocide.

    And Britain subsequently got put on the Blocked Countries list

    It’s truly astounding that you think Britain should just be able to bomb Yemen and not expect retaliation.

    How do the cool libs say it again, FAFO?

      This was a Lebanese operated, British registered ship. I think the Houthis, supposedly in opposition to Israel, just killed people from Lebanon… which is also in opposition to Israel.

      This is yet another reason why you don’t attack civilians. In a globalized world, people from any country can be working “under the flag” of another country. They just attacked civilians of a nation that has also been attacked by Israel.

      Lebanon would be in full rights to attack the Houthis in retaliation. As you put it, they fucked around, and they may find out.

        The Houthis have not killed a single person so far during their entire blockade. All crews dismounted their ships on life boats

        people from Lebanon… which is also in opposition to Israel
