    Any American ship within firing distance of Yemen deserves to be bombed. They could simply leave yet choose not to.

      I hate that this is a controversial take. People are all fine with anti-imperialism up to the point it gets even a little inconvenient for them.

      Literally all they have to do is just fuck off and all their problems will go away. That’s it.

      “Any non-American ship withing firing range of the US deserves to be bombed”

      You might want to rethink your statement as there are countries that would love to hold your simplified world view. I’m guessing that the top 4 military countries are able to plant a rocket up your behind from the US, no matter where you are (almost). So if Yemen can use your “within range, so good to bomb…” rule, there are others who can do much, much, MUCH worse then Yemen. And they’d be justified as well. Holy heck man…

        The problem is, the U.S. is uniquely evil. You’re basically playing the “If I took what you just said, and replaced the people you were criticizing with ‘the Jews’, that would sound pretty antisemitic, huh?” game.

        American ships being bombed is always good because they are American ships. Non-American ships being bombed is usually bad.
