What is a "nuclear-deterrent missile"? Is it just a nuclear missle? A regular missle that deters nuclear missles?

Is that quote from To Kill a Mockingbird? It's good.

I wonder what U.S. officials would say about sending large swaths of American blacks to internment camps in the U.S..

They are called Ansar Allah. You're spot on about the rag tag look, though, and that's propaganda to make them seem illegitimate and hide the fact that they have widespread support in their country (which, incidentally, rose during the Saudi led and U.S. backed demolition of Yemen over the past 8 or so years). People who are paying attention will notice a discrepancy between words (rag tag Houthi rebels shoot rockets indiscriminately at passing ships) and actions (we need a 12 or however many country coalition to go after these guys and will probably end up continuing to bomb one of the poorest countries on the planet with the most advanced arsenal the world has ever seen).

I do like what another commenter said, though. Something along the lines of "let the Marshall Islands and Belize military go protect those ships, don't use our tax money to protect the property of tax evaders".

Are they tied for the most moral army in the world now?

Can't be, this is the most moral army in the world we're talking about here!

Of course there is, that's literally the recipe for ethnic cleansing.

Oh man, even reading that hurt ':D I'm sorry for your loss.

I second James Baldwin. "The Fire Next Time" might make a good start.

Great recommendations btw.

Does Gaza have police?

Since it's an occupied territory, Israel is supposed to be providing security under international law. But of course that would get in the way of the genocide.

You realize you're justifying tens of thousands of deaths, right?

I'm pretty sure this is how Sadam Hussein rose to power, too.
