Lmao, not a piracy problem. Just the Yemenis carrying out legitimate naval interdiction operations and interference from Israel’s allies. Mfkers pretending this is a piracy problem like off the coast of Somalia when it’s just ships affiliated with Israel being interdicted.
there is no such thing as Somali piracy, ignore the psyop
Ever since a civil war brought down Somalia’s last functional government in 1991, the country’s 3,330 km (2,000 miles) of coastline — the longest in continental Africa — has been pillaged by foreign vessels. A United Nations report in 2006 said that, in the absence of the country’s at one time serviceable coastguard, Somali waters have become the site of an international “free for all,” with fishing fleets from around the world illegally plundering Somali stocks and freezing out the country’s own rudimentarily-equipped fishermen. According to another U.N. report, an estimated $300 million worth of seafood is stolen from the country’s coastline each year. “In any context,” says Gustavo Carvalho, a London-based researcher with Global Witness, an environmental NGO, “that is a staggering sum.”
In the face of this, impoverished Somalis living by the sea have been forced over the years to defend their own fishing expeditions out of ports such as Eyl, Kismayo and Harardhere — all now considered to be pirate dens.

Oh damn, I feel like this doesn’t get explained enough
Hoping they keep seizing more ships. $300 million worth of food being stolen is insane.
“We are under attack by the Houthis!”
“Damn that sucks, good luck tho”- “They’re not attacking our ships, so sucks to suck.”
I like how they put a picture of XI as if he was personally listening to the signal
China is secretly just Xi and a bunch of cardboard standees
terra cotta citizens in terra cotta cities
terra cotta
Random Poland fact: in Polish, it’s written and pronounced “terakota”, which is also homonym for “now the cat”.
and I dance dance dance and I dance dance dance
Xi has a large room where he monitors each citizen of China
the name of that room? china.
Thays the Chinese room you hear so much about
I know, it’s so based
They actually texted him personally about it
He just left it on ‘read’
China has been ignoring our distress calls for years
This is not a good look. China should have intervened
On the side of ansar allah lmao
>Rushes into combat zone
>transfers more anti ship missiles to the houthis
>refuses to explain
>leaves
We responded to the distress call, just not the way you wanted us to
That’s not piracy, therefore they are correct to not engage.
Didn’t ansarallah officially declare war? This isn’t piracy
Piracy can be a part of war, look at privateers in European conflict
Yes but Yemen is attacking shipping with the military, not under a mercenary letter of marque. It’s interdiction not piracy.
They attacked the ships, not pirated them.
You wouldn’t copy a ship…
The only real difference between pirates and privateers/navy is that the latter is state sanctioned.
Three Chinese navy ships in the vessel’s vicinity chose to ignore the 59 distress calls from the Israel-linked ship, Pentagon press secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said
Lmfao
“Should we answer? They’ve called like 60 times”
“不要紧， 美帝会帮他们的”
“Ok”
Ain’t that the damned truth
China seems to be taking a “I won’t kill you, doesn’t mean I have to save you” stance in regards to Israel.
“Chinese naval captain refused to enter a war between two other countries by interfering with a Yemeni naval engagement” doesn’t have the same ring to it
China is just responding to Yemeni Sanctions
Why would China take risk of having it’s soldiers killed over this silly shit.
- not my problem
China:
I like how this picture dort of implies xi was on board and waving to them
Makes him look even more based.
