Call me crazy but maybe the US shouldn’t be firing missiles halfway across the world?
Based on just the headline, you’re probably not wrong, but reading the article, you’ll see that those are anti-ballistic missile missiles (which is to say, they are missiles used to shoot down other missiles).
There’s definitely something to be said about the U.S. support for Israel, but this feels like the most sane and agreeable area of support that could be provided.
They are also are using these intercept missiles to defend civilian shipping.
There’s an argument to discuss regarding entanglements with global shipping, Israel, and it’s enemies. But using a missile to save a life of a civilian sailor is also “sane and agreeable” as far as global military actions go…
They are not defending civilian shipping. They are protecting Israel from the consequences of its genocide making them equally guilty.
Since Oct 9 2023 Israel has put a blockade on Gaza preventing food, water, gas and electricity from entering.
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.
“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.
Yemen has every right to respond in kind and enforce a blockade on Israel until the blockade on Gaza is lifted. The serious question is why is the US enabling and protecting Israel? We know Biden loves killing Arab women and children but is that the only reason why?
