We both clearly want the same thing though, but we foresee different outcomes. We want to bait the US into another war in our region because we have strong confidence it will be defeated. You though clearly forgot the lessons of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and need a refresher :)

So the workers on the tankers getting shot at are considered enemy combatants? Because if not, then they’d be innocent people.

Innocent people have nothing to hide and would respond to the requests of authorities. The ships were clearly headed to enemy ports, and intentionally ignored the requests to turn around.

Edit: The Red Sea and the Arabian Sea are under Yemeni authority. Non-enemy ships can pass, but for the enemy... Don't like it? You are free to sail around Africa

You're not suggesting a rules-based international order, are you?

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

No. Rules imply they are capricious and can change at whim. We have seen that in the US’s actions many times. What the world need are laws that no one can be above or allowed to veto.
