  1. well that’s good i guess, wouldn’t put it past the us military to use a pirate attack in the red sea to start a ‘war on piracy’ and start bombing teenagers in silicon valley.

  2. Netanyahu sure as hell is though, conflict is the only reason he’s still in office and not in jail. Netanyahu wants war in all directions to save his own skin (also he likes war)

  3. Those pirates made one of the worst decisions possible lol

  4. >CENTCOM said helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and Gravely responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call, the second in less than 24 hours, and were fired on by the Houthi boats.

    >“The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense, sinking three of the four small boats, and killing the crews. The fourth boat fled the area,” the statement said, adding that there was “no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment.”

    If you’re a Houthi rebel, firing on a US military craft is really not a very smart move

  5. These criminals deserve their fate given how the entire world is affected by their piracy/halting of shipping.

  6. Not from what one sees here.

    This is why a Biden gotta go. Idk how we’ll deal with the orange Nazi.

    It’s like what Cornel West said about how a Biden vs Trump is like deciding on WW3 vs Civil War ll.

    There’s gotta be sth else.

  7. One of the main purposes of our Navy is to provide maritime security and to make certain goods to and from the U.S. are not impeded by foreign actors or pirates. They did just that. Go Navy!

  9. This feels like the same thing when Somali pirates were a thing.

  10. The boats fired upon a US navy aircraft. There was only ever going to be one outcome.

  11. Who are you going to believe? Biden or your lyin’ eyes?

  12. White House can say whatever they want. They sure as hell haven’t done anything to avoid a wider conflict.

  13. New prime examples of fuck around and find out. Shooting at US helicopters is next level dumb, Darwin still out there doing work.

  16. Headline should read that the heli carriers were defending from Houthi shots fired at them.

  17. “We don’t want to kill you all, but we’ll do what we have to”

  18. lies: The blockade did not kill anyone. The united states started the killing for good$
