    They don’t get to launch missiles at any ships lol, that’s terrorism regardless of their stated motive.

      It’s only terrorism when enemies of the US do it.

        It’s terrorism regardless of who does it. Are you suggesting that allies of the US can fire missiles at random ships and have it not deemed to be terrorism?

          Actually, have the Houthis killed anyone yet? I’m having trouble sifting through the headlines.

            They haven’t killed anyone yet with their ship attacks, thanks to the hard work of the coalition working against them.

              Or they’re not trying to kill people.

              But that doesn’t fit the narrative.

              “Terrorists” like the E.L.F. 🙄 an inconvenience to commerce that targets goods, not people

                Or they’re not trying to kill people.

                They are shooting missiles at defenceless civilian ships, lol. What an absurd thing to say.

            Not sure about here but yeah they definitely execute a lot of people for being gay: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/02/yemen-will-publicly-stone-crucify-10-gay-men-in-gruesome-public-spectacles/

            I have 0 sympathy for barbaric ideas like executing people for being queer. I cannot imagine they ever act in any measure of good faith, regardless of the scenario.

              That’s bad, but not relevant to whether or not the red sea attacks are terrorism.

          “At random ships” is a lie. They’re attacking strategically.

          Also, looking at what Israel is doing, it’s clear that US allies can kill anyone they want and have it not deemed to be terrorism.

          Yes they can even fire at U.S. ships if they want, but they might get fined. Nothing a little U.S. foreign aid won’t cover, though.
