They still haven't forgiven the UK for Mad Mitch and his Glasgow thugs.

His ostentatiously reentering the Crater and restoring order saved British - and many civilian Adeni - lives but NLF v FLOSY civil war was inevitably just delayed until wider withdrawal.

Loved a 'headline quote':

"Behave yourself and nothing happens to you. Start playing terrorism - you're dead!".

"We're going to be extremely firm and extremely mean. These chaps have gunned down British soldiers - 3 of my own were killed here. I have no compunction in saying that if some chap now starts throwing grenades or using pistols we shall kill him. Quite rightly".

"Our aim is to kill terrorists and take care of terrorism. I've just told them we're a very mean lot. We'll be very fair but if any chap starts any trouble they'll just get their head blown off. They'll get the message in time you know - this glengarry helps a bit, and the bagpipes".

No vote, discussion or even questions in are preshus sovereign parliament before this action was taken, just a call from Senile Joe.

Vassal state.

News reports tonight that the speaker was summoned to a briefing (while the Typhoons were en-route) where Hoyle offered to recall parliament and he was told that wasn't how they wanted to play it. Didn't say who he was actually speaking to mind.

can't imagine him for a second as an MP for 20 odd years being in any way critical of the Government - his own or the Tories - on any issue of substance. Someone said that he has an unhealthy obsession with Princess Diana which seems about right.

When you hear the "we need to protect civilian seafarers from attack by these barbarians engaging in piracy" argument, it's worth noting how many have been killed since ships in Red Sea started being targeted to make this wave of bombing a necessity. None.

Meanwhile, the whole reason ships heading for Israel are being targeted in the first place, 250 people are being killed every day in Gaza. Can't wait to see how Genocide Joe is going to protect those civilians!

As always, the interests of capital trump human lives - especially if those lives aren’t white peoples.

No, you're right, what I really want is hundreds of already starving people blown to bits by nightly carpet bombing.

Well that's  a silly want.  You obviously do not understand 'carpet bombing'.

So what should the evil West do?  Ignore everything, ask the Houtis not to commit 'war crimes'?

And what is the reason the number of sailors killed is zero?  Because the Houtis are careful?

Why do ships divert around Africa?, If they are not sailing to Israel, they are safe, right?

Well the west ignored the war crimes being committed against Yemen by Saudi Arabia with weapons manufactured in the west for years.

What war crimes have the Houthis committed? As opposed to the very real war crimes committed on the communities from which the Houthi movement gains support since 2015? 

Meanwhile another state in the region is literally on trial for an accused act of genocide. So will Team America and its West Europe vassal state be forming a 'task force' to deal with Tel Aviv?

Biden openly using "product shipping times" as a justification for bombing was quite the moment.
