  1. I have to defend Kirby here, even though he's a prick. That journo is extremely naive and unintelligent to suggest America or its allies have exculated. What are they supposed to do? Let the Houthis fire on unarmed shipping? Purely moronic journalism.

  2. Listen… Houthi Rebels (Iranian backed militants) have been launching attacks on merchant ships that are providing goods to the Global economy. This has economic implications on EU, Middle East, China, USA etc.

    These were unprovoked attacks – The US sending our Naval fleet to the Red Sea is strictly for Defensive Posture. Please read into Global supply chain disruptions caused by Houthi Rebels to have a deeper understanding of the Issue

  3. This is a prime example of an authoritarian regime gaslighting its people. The people can see something with their own eyes, they question it and they are told they didn't see it. This causes cognitive dissonance. Prolonged cognitive dissonance causes mental illness. This is the now the United States.

  4. Ma'am, I find it quite astonishing that you would have the nerve to ask such a remarkably clever question. There is a clear distinction between him being the chosen one(zionist) and you simply being a jurnalist. You are supposed to report on the information that has been provided to you or to ask a question that supports Israel. Plus, despite the fact that it is clear that Yeemenis have explicitly stated their intention to target ships traveling to Israel as a response to her actions in Gaza. Right?
