minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink-13•6 months agoYemen explicitly rejected neutrality. That’s well within their rights when a genocide is happening at their doorstep.
minus-squarePugJesuslinkfedilink15•6 months agoYou do understand that these ships being attacked are ships of neutral nations, right? You do understand that… right? And that the attacks aren’t happening in Yemeni territorial waters or Israeli territorial waters, but in international waters. You realize that… right? … right…?
