The Houthis say it is all about supporting Hamas but they have been pretty indiscriminate about what ships to attack causing insurance costs to skyrocket for shipping in that area. Many, probably most, shippers now are using alternate more expensive routes for their ships.

The alarming thing now to me is that it initially was the USA and UK retaliating against the Houthi. According to BBC it also now involves Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands.

When Hamas launched its initial attack on Israel on Oct 7 killing roughly 1400 people in Israel, pretty much the entire developed world denounced that. China however did not but adopted a wait and see approach. North Korea openly supports Hamas. Even though Bahrain is helping retaliate against the Houthi, other Arab nations are probably torn on bombing other Arabs.

The Houthi like many terrorist groups are largely funded by Iran who along with Turkey and Qatar are the largest funders of Hamas. We don't know how close Iran is to having a working nuclear weapon but as the Hamas/Israel war continues to spread to Syria, Lebanon, etc. and now Yemen and there is more military action from NATO, should China and North Korea get militarily involved. . .

WWIII looks more and more possible.

There is also good money in the Oval Office with money from China and the Ukraine you don't even have to pay taxes on.

Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.

"Where are you going and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the thr.ee.
"We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,"
Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod.

-Eugene Field

Wynken is John Kirby,
Blyken is Anthony Blinken, and
Nod is Joe Biden.

But there aren't any herring-fish in the Red Sea.

Write the IRS. Be sure and mention the many millions trump made along with Biden.

Yes of course, but it doesn't have to be American. The Houties will have determined which country.

they no doubt have informants in the persian gulf ports .

Kirby:

And no matter what they say, this is not about "punishing" Israel, I mean, one of the ships they took a shot at yesterday was a Panamanian flag that was taken Russian oil, had nothing to do with Israel..

Sure. And they don't blink without permission the fascist Mullahcracy

Even the radical anti-Israel Haaretz stated: "The Houthis don't care about the Palestinians. They're attacking Israel to gain support." Haaretz on X, Dec 19, 2023

Hmm almost as if Israel's actions are making it significantly easier to radicalize new generations of people all over the world against Israel and the U.S.

Hmm almost as if Israel's actions ..

Did you check Houthi's slogans pre Oct 7? Of course they use the opportunity.

Many of these ships don't carry the national flag of ownership, as i remember many were Liberian flagged over the years.

it is an easy way to avoid taxes and inspections while still calling for the navy (at great taxpayer expense) when the natives become restless.

Shutting down shipping in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea affects everyone.

(The Iranian regime refers to the crazy Houthis) as "ash"

 

[Moonglow]

They attacked a Chinese ship also.

Fans of the Hooty Tooty boys know they are assisted in their Freedom Fighting by some very intriguing people, with Qatar , Tehran and Moscow keeping relatively quiet .
