It was a blockade of Israel, which was an act of war against Israel.
Then USA and UK bombed the Houties. I would call that an act of war against the Houties.
No. It was a general blockade of ALL shipping heading to the Suez Canal.

Where do you and Frankie get this stuff?!

Yes and we have had a truth and reconciliation commission, years of activism, treaty negotiations and movement towards getting past our colonial past.
Our indigenous people have full human rights, can vote, are not walled up in bantustans or concentration camps nor do we bomb them every 2 or 3 years and call it 'mowing the grass'.

For you to make this comparison is to admit you know zionism is wrong on its most basic level.
Canadian indigenous people are still not happy that you are living on their land.

Whereas in Israel there is dispute as to who lived there first. There is absolutely no dispute.

There were zero Europeans living here prior to the 15th. You are living on lands because of indigenous deaths. No reparations bring back those lives.

I'm surprised the US hasn't hit back again. A US ship got hit by a houthi missile. They should pull out the B52's and carpet bomb them.

So the US can't stop one of the poorest states in the world?
Maybe they should back a ceasefire instead.
Oh the US will stop the Hooters. They'll just bomb them until the Hoots run out of radars and launch sites.

Uncle Sam's just getting started.

Saudi Arabia just used US supplied weapons and tried that for 6 years running.
Good luck.

Maybe they should try ending support of the Israeli genocide instead....

The Middle East or West Asia has changed a lot in the last two decades. Iran, Hezbollah, Houties have acquired medium range missiles and drones that naturalizes western naval power.

Notice that the aircraft carriers stay 400 km away from Yemen and Lebanon.

Bombing Yemen may turn out to not have been the best option. Closing the Red Sea to all traffic has severe consequences.

What do you think they will achieve?
Turn Yemen into a Gaza?
Scare them so they stop?
Invade and occupy?
No. They'll bomb all the drone and missile launch sites and then the Hoots won't be able to threaten ships.
