Yemen is the greatest country ever by all means, if they got quarter of America’s weapons, they would lead the entire world. My message to the US is that, try to spread peace and stop creating issues in the middle east, everybody knows that the world is evolving, 5 to 10 years later Yemen may get Nuclear weapons, so try to spread peace now, cuz Yemenis will never accept to live in famine and you live in luxury.
F the shipping lines what about thousands murdered in Palestine by isreal .we ppl dint care about goods. Human b4 $$$$$$$$$$$$
BS
They will probably be fine against a us aircraft carrier and all the other advanced weapons the us has then 😂😂😂
Jingoism:
“The extreme belief that your own country is always best, often shown in enthusiastic support for a war against another country.”
Don’t be too cocky. The US lost in Korea, which was partitioned, lost in Vietnam, leaving it as a fully communist state, and literally ran from Afghanistan in the middle of the night. You even turned up two years late for WW II. You don’t have a very glorious history.
If you’re so tough, why don’t you stand up to Iran? You never have.
@@albin2232 true, but it is iran standing up to them, also many us military have admitted they will never attack iran because iran would absolutely slaughter them
@@albin2232 I’m from the uk
@@richardlongmore9301 Then ridulous faith in the US military, is doubly ridiculous. You clearly have no knowledge of military history or what is involved in waging a war.

The Convention on the Punishment of the crime of Genocide (CPPCG) , or the Genocide Convention , is an international treaty that criminalises genocide and obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition.
Yemen just carrying out its obligations surely ?
Not at all. first, no such judgement has been made. secondly Israel is not violating International Law, don’t take my word for it look it up. Yemen and Houthis are not the same, they are fighting each other. Look at the casualty rates and compare to Gaza, there is no genocide. The ships being attacked are in International waters, Houthis are not a nation and have no legitimate agency.
@@NigelHatcherN Wrong, yet again. Israel is violating International law. Houthis are trying to stop a genocide. Get your facts right and your take your zionist bias and stuff it where the sun don’t shine,
@@NigelHatcherN Israels Genocide I’d an outslragous crime built upon decades of murder, theft and oppression.
The evidence is overwhelming and staggering so stop talking shit.
U ok?@@NigelHatcherN
more people have died in yemen because of the houthis actions, so are they committing genocide?
im talking about the 400,000+ dead in yemen
Most of the Houthis are university graduates. Their tech sector is booming.
You are so right we can see this clearly in multiple videos. If most of them are Graduates the Universities can’t be much.
university of sandal throwing and wearing womens clothes
@@gazabeebles To throw a sandal properly, you need at least an MBA.
Yemen GDP per person is between 6 and 7 hundred dollars. Booming tech, ha ha, funny. But it’s Iranian built while China and Russia have boasted their development of the guided ballistic tech.
What a stupid argument, if you attack shipping it does not matter what the motive , it is piracy. Does she think the US/UK are not aware of the Houthi capability? ….
This is alot of bs
It’s MSM ofc it is, wouldn’t be truthful would it? What purpose would being truthful serve the establishment?
Big up to Yemen for standing up against the worlds bullies ie, Usa, Uk, Germany, Sweden, France,
🤣😂how come all the bullied have to come to the countries you just mentioned? To sponge, leave all their women behind, not try and get their country together. F in brave 👍🇬🇧👌
I agree with what Donald J Trump said and whats this Israeli conflict got to do with us. Lets just be peacemakers and divert all those billions of U.S. American tax dollars that are being sent to Ukraine and Israel back to making America great again
why you lot feeding the American public lies as usual in the mainstream media
Sophisticated 🤣🤣🤣
Houthis don’t need to be smart, they only have to deal with Jo Biden
You lot started it they are only responding to the agression shown to Muslims all around the world the genocides you commit. Houthis dont forgive and don’t forget, alsi they are coming out in millions and chqnting we are ready to die for the sake of Allah and the people of Gazza Palestine
Mybe you should listen to what they are saying?.
how about no
Why only Britain and the USA attacking the Houtis? Where are the rest of the European “powers” or NATO?
Because uk and usa are world criminals and trouble makers
Because European Union isn’t a lap dog for USA
It’s a zionist thing
Yemen is surrounded by Sea and hostile neighbors. It won’t be like Afghanistan with land lock. Logistically, it will be a easy job.
Logistically in what way? Militarily? If you think a military operation from a logistic perspective would be an easy job in Yemen I’m afraid you are very much mistaken. In my opinion Afghanistan would be a walk in the park compared to Yemen. Most people think the Houthis are just unsophisticated pirates, but their land forces are formidable. They have huge numbers of well armed ‘core’ fighters, combined with literally millions of civilian fighters who make up huge militias. You need to remember that the Saudis tried to bomb the Houthis out of existence for about 8 years and hardly made a dent in their military capability. A land offensive by US-led forces would be a massive mistake; the Houthis would put out a national call to arms and literally millions would answer that call. It would get messy very very quickly.
@@Mark-sc4bu I hope you’re trolling because Yemen as a whole has a pathetic military.
@@Mark-sc4bu I don’t care how they fought during civil war or against Saudi coalition who are mostly mercenaries fighting with half heartedly. Houthis are still 19th century people with raw military infrastructures mostly supplied by Iran. If Houthis military infrastructures are taken out by USA and UK without even involving ground force, Houthis doesn’t stand a chance. And remember Yemen is surrounded by sea and hostile neighbors, that would be plus point for USA and her allies if necessary.
After a long civil war, Yemenis should be more focused on economy and development, Healthcare, education and good international relationship.
3 years ago charity’s were begging people for money for Yemin, so why is this not front page when Ukraine was forced down our throat ? Anyone
But the pirates are away hotter than Ukraine. With these Tik tok and so on.😂
Yemen was blockaded and impoverished by western colonialism and their agents in Saudi regime and uae regime. Yemen is rich country in natural and human resources but USA and their puppets wanted to submit Yemeni people via war and sanctions
UK and USA were fighting a proxy war against Yemen, using the Saudis and UAE. They created a catastrophe for the people, blockaded food and medicine shipments, targeted the Saudi bombing runs, gave technical advice and shipped arms to Saudi etc.
Local shipping has nothing to do with Palestine.
Your short brain thinks that way, and that shows how you knowledge you have : zeeeeroooooo!
put it this way! governments who are known to LIE!!! and do dodgy deals etc. are very pro war!!! and seem more than keen to label the Houthis as terrorists! notice when women and children are murdered! nobody seems that bothered! but when its boats! ooohhh nnoooo!!! dont do that!!!
I’m not for all these wars but if the Houthis ever meet the US Marines I’ll bet all that “sophistication” won’t be worth spit.
Us marines are cowards that hide behind billions of dollars and the best weaponry. These people are way more courageous often out numbered and fighting against the odds
Bro you have 3rd most powerful navy and need coalition against Houthis.
Sit down
@@SMRchannel3 its called having allies, real ones, unlike arabic nations
@@gazabeeblesreal ones? Joker. They have all been bought paid by us. A traitor to there country.
Agreed. The taliban and vietcong did not need to be sophisticated to spit in the face of racist western imperialis america.
Israel genociding Palestinians. Houthis intent on providing support to Palestinians, the rightful owners of that land. ICJ have instructed Israel to stop. As usual, they ignore …. consider themselves above the law. (it’s a zionist thing) Zionist-occupied western governments support the genocide. All you need to know..
And they are away hotter than your middle age,smelly pirate too.
Joe Biden needs to get on his knees and beg his isreali overlords to stop the genocide
It is literally the only way to get the the US/UK trade flowing again
Everyones a sophisticated pirate before the Seraphim and Pacifistas get deployed.
Can’t wait for goofballs to start saying houthis are the 4th most powerful military 😂
It’s pretty childish to assume Yemen is this powerful all by itself. There’s Russia + China + Iran + N. Korea + 57 Islamic countries backing Yemen. 🤔
Free Palestine 🇪🇭❤️
Shut up you corrupt news
Well, obviously… they are funded and supported by Iran!
Can’t wait to start hearing how Yemen is the 4th most powerful military 😂
But are they bulletproof.
Nor are the Americans😂
@@FaiezCader Well we will see won’t we .Another Islamic group like isis before them .Going to get their virgins lol .I can not find any reference that says all the virgins are female .But anyway enjoy living in the west it won’t last
It is easy to predict which vessels will be hit. Any going to Israel and any UK and US ships. Everyone else is able to go through the red sea. The US and UK have made a rod for their own backs.
Because they are not pirates. They are doing exactly what america does seize ships😂
The US has a recognized flag. Yes. That’s a VERY important part of the definition of a pirate. By definition if you have a recognized flag, you aren’t a pirate. The Houthi do NOT have a recognized flag. They have men at arms engaged in violence against ships at sea while not under any internationally recognized flag. Bam. Pirates. The Houthi are pirates.
I believe definition outweighs your hallucinations.
If the Houthis are “more sophisticated than your random pirate” isn’t that because they’re essentially _government-sponsored_ pirates (with Iran being their sponsor)?
Shades of how England under Queen Elizabeth I sponsored pirates like Francis Drake to attack Spanish treasure fleets.
No, they are the government of Yemen, with a will and policy of their own.
@@mikemurray2027 They’re not the internationally-recognized government of Yemen, and only control about half the country de facto.
@@GCarty80 They are the de facto government of Yemen, after ousting the US-backed dictator and then seeing off the US-backed Saudi invasion. Whether they are ‘internationally recognised’ or not is irrelevant. They are the people running Yemen, with the support of the bulk of the population. They certainly have far more legitimacy than the rag-tag of terrorists groups the US is funding and arming.
Lies!
Instead of attacking Yemen, America and Britain should change their ways.
and then you would be first to complain when you cant afford food because of the houthis piracy LOOOL
@@gazabeeblesstop spamming in every reply,it doesn’t benefit you nor anybody else
Agreed
@@ami.o3574 “Spamming”, you mean things that disagree with you? maybe if you shitlords used logic, i wouldnt need to reply so much, ever thought of that?
@@ami.o3574 “spamming” i.e correcting abduls and their lovers about “ermergerd generside” “ermergerd collective punershmernt”
What they are doing is illegal, it is wrong and must not be tolerated.
Alright Israeli operative 👍🏻 whatever you say
Britain still sends aid them
You can tell that houties are sophisticated by the way they dress.😅
They just wear yemeni cultural clothing? Hopefully you’re not calling a whole culture unsophisticated
does everyone think life on the ocean is easy? are you a real news organisation? you lot couldn’t handle one ‘random’ pirate, they’re battle hardened and you get offended when someone uses the wrong pronoun….
Their not sophisticated as you are saying they are I’m watching their troops march and it looks like children mixed in with the adult army
They have been fighting for nearly ten years now and beat the US and UK in the proxy war with the Saudis. They should not be underestimated.
Houthi poofy
FJB AND BAR FLUNKIE CAMEL HARRIS.
Houthis are hardened from years of Saudi and US bombing in Yemen.
Thought they let her already on good behaviour
Definitely Definitely sophisticated…..Definitely Definitely not inbred frim marrying relatives 😂
Not one of um has a peg leg, or a parrot. Not one eye patch in sight.
Have a bit of respect, will you? It’s the Yemeni government, not ‘the Houthis’. What other state gets named after one faction of the ruling political alliance? You only do it to demonise and give justification for the illegal bombing of the country.
houties fighting with there hearts and mind s
yep they can count with 2 hands also
