    I read that some of the ships were American recently, but I can't find the article. Would that make a difference to you?

    I don’t mind lousy terrorist pirates getting destroyed, I just hope we aren’t using multi million dollar bombs to do jobs a few bullets from a helicopter would accomplish

    It is the same basic concept on a bigger scale. They are seeking to shut down the passage of vehicles to pressure for change.

    I understand your point, but one is non-violent ... no one gets hurt. The Houthi are killing people and destroying ships. I don't think it's a fair analogy.

    France failed to sign a statement of support for the US and UK air strikes on the Houthis after it said it would not take part in bombing raids to protect Red Sea shipping. major European powers including France, Spain and Italy did not offer military or political support.

    Paris was joined by Italy and Spain in not only refusing to take part in the strikes, but eschewing the chance to sign a statement in support of them

    Basically the biggest powers in Europe disagree, besides Germany but of course the Germans will support Israel, otherwise Israel will bring up the Holocaust!

    The UK is nothing but USA lapdog poodle, pathetic!

    I would disagree simply due to the sheer scale of the violence in Gaza that this is in response to.

    Basically, the Saudis pulled out of America's war against Yemen (with the houthi getting even more control in the meantime) so now it's time for the Americans to do their own dirty work and now all has been revealed.

    You're welcome

    Those bombs have destroyed 70% of buildings in Gaza.

    Imagine (hypothetical , do you even know what that means?) USA being 70% flattened by russia after invading Iraq on a false premise. Would you be happy about that?

    The peace negotiations have been broken many times, by both sides, the Yemeni government and the Houthis, but there has been no all out war by the two sides. But the peace negotiations never mentioned or included anyone else, especially in international waters.

    the shipping lanes have been protected by various methods that began with the GWB administration. We even had some cooperation from China when they sent their warships to protect Chinese vessels in those shippingt lanes. We had an international task force, Task Force 15x from time to time.

    We dont bomb Europe or South America or North America or Antarctica.

    Just Asia and Africa. That's two.

    US has protected shipping lanes ever since the US was founded.

    "To the shores of Tripoli"

    So you think we should just bend over and spread the cheeks? Vote for Trump and it will be so.

    Yes, we've been the world's police since end of WW2.
    Like it or not.
    But we didn't act alone. WE had the help of the Brits, who's largely responsible for Israeli mess in ME.

    Where in Europe are we bombing?

    Where in South America? Where in North America?

    Sounds like baseless claims without any evidence.
