the west: and the evil mozlem jeehadis in yeahmen seized a poor israeli billionaire’s ship, likely for their nefarious terror plots that tHrEaTen oUr fReEdOms-
the yemeni:
jokes aside, it’s estimated that the financial losses are already immense, as israel’s exports are reliant on sea shipping. the cost of rerouting their ships around yemeni territorial waters is HUGE
for those rusty with geography, i made a little map. the red circle is the bab al-mandab strait, which yemen has almost complete control over. the yellow arrows are the trade route that israel previously took. the blue is how they’re having to route their ships now:
yemen is singlehandedly forcing an economy dependent on trade to reroute their ships all the way around the entire continent of africa
people are asking why other countries don’t do the same and the short answer is because there is a very violent history of retribution from the west
in 1956 a joint coalition of israel (surprise), the uk (surprise again), and france (are you still surprised? you shouldn’t be) invaded gaza and egypt to regain control of the suez canal and straits of tiran for western powers
the aggressors failed, but they were willing to invade and start a war - which is why what yemen is doing now is that much more commendable, because they know the history and they know what’s at stake and are still choosing not to stand idle while israel commits genocide
be strong, jtr

I think that if you asked Shaggy what his gender was he'd say "you're, like, livin' in a prison of your own creation, man" and then eat a huge sandwich in one bite
in primary school maybe like year 2/2nd grade this kid i hung out with was briefly obsessed with the concept of nitroglycerin in the highly volatile explosive form, i.e when you move it too fast it blows up. he would insert it into almost all of the games we played like "oh and now theres a vial of nitroglycerin watch out" what the fuck was up w him

minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son
(pulling a painted vase out of my wallet) and this is my youngest at his first nose ring fitting. isn't he handsome
inaccurate, they will survive.
