   The one thing that fucks me up reading all these articles on the signal leaks is that not one journalist has even approached the subject of bombing Yemen. No one has been like "And why the fuck are we bombing Yemen?!"
   
   Its all clutching pearls over how incompetent morons could have fucked up this bad, and how the trump admin really does hate europe that bad after all. Everyone in the media is tacitly accepting the framing that bombing Yemen will "serve US national interests" (read: make rich people richer) which is not only asinine, but violates human rights.
   
   Corpos and mainstream journalists alike are up in arms over how service members were put in danger. But no one has asked why those service members were in danger in the first place?
   
   Its all very frustrating. We should not be carpet bombing major civilian population centers, period. How is that a controversial take? Why do I feel like I'm the only one making this point? Am I going insane?
   
   If we keep accepting the fascist's framing of events, they will win. Fucking stop, for the love of god.

     @AnarchoCatgirlism I figured it's because the Houthies are attacking all trade and cargo ships that attempt to cross the Suez canal and the US is the only one with a navy that stands a chance against their class of armament?

     @AnarchoCatgirlism the Houthies do what Iran tells them to do, given that's where all their gear is coming from and their general aim is to turn Yemen into an Iranian vassal. They're not really hiding any of this, they're very proud of what they're doing.
     
     I may not be a fan of capitalism but I know when things aren't necessarily capitalism's fault.
     
     If you want the US to stop bombing countries that pirate or attack cargo ships and disrupt trade routes then encourage Europe to arm itself to a point where it doesn't need the US to save it anymore. :meowShrug:

     @Polychrome@poly.cybre.city hmm I wonder why the houthies are doing that /s
     
     Like yes I understand why the imperial war machine is doing imperial things. I just think its abhorrent and the media at large is complicit because they fail so hard to call any of it out
