USA is bombing Yemen due to them blocking ships that cross in Yemeni waters that are headed to Israel

For some additional context, Houthi members have been attacking commercial ships using internationally recognized shipping lanes, and opened fire on US military aircraft. Whether or not the bombing is justified, the narrative that “people are in Yemen territorial waters” is gross misinformation at best.
“Internationally recognized” not by Yemen. The Yemeni had no saying on that. That is just imperialist appropriating Yemeni’s waters and then using their influence to validate their claim. What you are spreading is gross imperialist propaganda.
I mean… disrupting international trade is just asking for trouble.
That’s not even a “capitalism bad” thing; it’s just a matter of fact that safe international trade needs to be a thing in order to have a global economy
Yemen has the right to embargo whoever they want from using their waters.
It’s not “their” waters, it’s internationally recognized shipping lanes.

You can’t restrict access to waterways that other countries further upstream depend on to function. If this were the US cutting off access to the sea for say, the Gaza strip (which they already help Israel do, actually, so I am definitely not saying they are morally right here), then you’d have a much different opinion on it, wouldn’t you?
Almost the entire world recognizes this basic courtesy of the sea. It’s like damming a river for yourself and starving out others who weren’t as fortunate to live closer to the source.
Either we have free access to the oceans and waterways for all, or we just shut down international trade and all become hermit kingdoms.

This isn’t Yemen, it’s the Houthis. AFAIK, the internationally recognized State of Yemen isn’t involved.

We’re talking international shipping routes. What the Houthi movement is engaging in is piracy, plain and simple.

Houthi Militia =/= Yemen

The Houthis also gave fair warning to the ships to go back and they just turned off their radios and continued anyway to provide aid to a genocidal entity. The Houthis are trying to help Palestine not to be genocided. Any response to a genocidal entity is justified.
Not halted; The Houthi movement has been firing missiles and sending drones at civilian vessels. They were given fair warning to stop by the coalition members of Operation Prosperity Guardian, and continued to attack anyway.

“Embargo” sure is a funny way to say “launching pirate raids and missiles”.
Same as to what the US does with Cuba, and they also call it embargo 🤔
No dude it’s literally everybody who wants them bombed. They are attacking civilian trade vessels. They were warned by the UN and shit. It’s not the USA going out of its way to bomb brown people it’s the USA bombing people who have continued to purposely interrupt international trade after being told explicitly there will be consequences. They were/are breaking international fucking law.
Edit: Ohhhhh I just saw Ops user name “VictimOfAmerikkka” which that in addition to their rather repulsive post history explains why they are acting like such a mouth breather
acting like running zionist propoganda and being pro-genocide such as yourself puts you in a morally superior position, eat shit.
When did I say I’m pro genocide? Jesus christ what a strawman. Genocide is bad, it’s hypocritical for the US to get so freaky over this when there’s an active genocide happening but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to get freaky over maritime trade vessels being threatened. They were breaking international law and were told explicitly by the UN among others to knock it the fuck off or there would be consequences.
And are we meant to act like we should be listening to the genociders or to the people resisting them? Not a strawman, its a response to your point.
No dude it’s literally everybody who wants them bombed
No, only the imperialist powers
They are attacking civilian trade vessels.
They are attacking “trade vessels” delivering to Israel, which is genociding people.
It’s not the USA going out of its way to bomb brown people
Lol!! That is literally all the USA does. The USA is the number exporter of genocide of brown people. They even kill their brown people every day and put them in concentration camps to serve as slaves aka prisons.
people who have continued to purposely interrupt international trade after being told explicitly there will be consequences.
People who are acting out of solidarity for the Palestinian people and who are actually forcing the hand of the imperialist powers by disrupting the trade to the Zionist entity
They were/are breaking international fucking law.
Laws put in place by the colonizers who decide to use their waters without their consent lol
You are being brainwashed by imperialist propaganda 🤣
