    Libs: The only thing we can do to make a positive impact on the world is to vote in federal elections once every 4 years.

    Houthis: Oh yeah? Watch this

      If Americans want the Houthis out of Yemen, they should simply go there and campaign harder and turn out to vote in the next general election.

        The situation where all naval shipping between China and Europe is blocked is literally what the Belt and Road Initiative was made for (land trade route from China to Europe)

        China has planned exactly for this situation

      Screenwriters are furiously typing away. A captain whose partner just left and took the kids. Offered a big score to deliver cargo through the blockade. Calls in favours from the best ship crew in the world, including their ex. Can they make it? The trailer has the container ship accelerating and using a partially submerged second ship as a ramp to jump over the Houthis blockade. Cuts to title. Evergiven 2: Redemption ever-given

    Its a cascade effect. As more ships leave the straight, the ships that remain become bigger targets. If you were one ship in a thousand, its a numbers game. But once you’re the only guy to fire at…

      Isn’t that what COSCO did? They basically just announced they weren’t shipping to the Zionist colony anymore.

      Edit: nvm it’s only a rumor as of now, the source is Reuters ass.

    occasionally a ship from an african country or polynesia

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
