Houthi official promises safe passage for Russian, Chinese ships through Red sea
This is really just an Iranian puppet. Iran is getting crazier in their efforts to plunge the whole region into war.
I hate to say it but the regime there needs to go.
It's coming, the groundwork is already being laid. I just saw several articles about Iran possessing nuclear material to build several bombs ...
That ‘iran has enough material to build a bomb’ headline is just fear-mongering to increase support for western operations in iran (which by the way would be disastrous for all countries involved, think the war in Iraq but with outcomes that are 10 times worse). Just getting enough fissile material isn’t enough to make a viable nuclear weapons program. You need a viable nuclear weapons delivery system. You need to miniaturise the bomb to fit on your weapons system. If you manage to make the bomb but it weighs 50 tonnes, requires a liquid tritium factory on site and you only have one you haven’t created a nuclear weapons program. You’ve made a really destructive physics experiment.
I wouldn’t start getting worried until Iran starts testing ICBM, submarines, satellites and command and control structures that can handle the responsibility of nuclear weapons. In the mean time they probably refining materials for civilian and political reasons.
So they never meant it about the Palestineans then. Just another state-backed group playing stateless people as bargaining chips.
Genuinely asking but is Russia supporting Israel currently?
As far as I've read, no. They have a fraught relationship because of the Russian pogroms of jews awhile back. But Israel is also unable to get away from them as Russia still has a Jewish population that they have no qualms abusing if their relationship goes south. It's why the Israelis aren't giving stuff like iron Dome launchers and rockets to the Ukrainians, because they know Russia will start punishing Russian jews for it.
There are some accounts here that are puppets to the US media. Russia is the bad guy, Iran is the bad guy and china is the bad guy and we need to take them down.
Yet they fail to illustrate why things happen in the first place and neglected to mention the aggressive and failed foreign policies the US and it's allies are following.
Saying this is not about Gaza is missed up, because it neglected the fact that they target ships from part Israelis owner, the US which aid Israel, the Marshall Islands flags because that what the Israeli use for their ships to avoid being targeting.
Well of course. We're all at War. Putin has launched a war against the entire world and his allies are helping them. And if Donald Trump wins the presidency he'll have another Ally.
Sure feels like a lot of the "world is at war" right now.
Until China starts shooting, we're still in the prelude.
Cool. We'll just slide through next to their ships. Problem solved!
Everyone start registering their ships in Slovenia and flying versions of the flag with an even smaller coat of arms
Just take a page out of the Russian's books and spoof the GPS and identification
They too allow Indonesian owned ship to pass through red sea.
It has to be said: considering how many chaotic and relatively recent things are going on in the world that are negatively impacting both Russia’s and China’s geopolitical adversaries, this reads as mighty fuckin’ suspicious, and raises more than a few pointed questions.
Iran is really busy starting shit up. Making west put up their guard and decreasing arms export to Ukraine. Pretty sure Putin is just around the corner pulling strings.
Iran has been backstopped by the USSR and later Russia since very shortly after the Iranian Revolution concluded. There were good reasons for that (the government they rebelled against was US-friendly, and in fact essentially installed by the US during the Iranian coup back in 1953), but the fact remains that they’ve had significant geopolitical ties for a long time, both overt and covert.
Russia started their latest meat wave assault on Awdijiwka just hours after Hamas attacked Israel.
This marked the start of the russian winter offense. Putin was able to distract the media attention for a few weeks but he wasn't able to actually take Awdijiwka.
Iran had massive public banners unrolled just hours after the Hamas attacks. They are all in it.
As long as putin is a free man, governments like North Korea and Venezuela are encouraged to use their military or at least try to blackmail their neighbours.
What is suspicious about it? What questions?
This is the Axis of Evil. Russia, Iran, China, North Korea, and their proxies, it includes Hamas and Houthis.
I would understand if you've been confused by all the pro Houthis comments here on Lemmee, which is absolutely insane and probably the result of an Iranian influence campaign.
Iran and North Korea funded the tunnels in Gaza.
There’s few differences between the state structure of North Korea and Saudi Arabia yet SA doesn’t show up on that list. Also this axis of evil is very funny to me because it’s just clearly from the American perspective, even though the US is to blame (UK is too) for the current shitty Iranian government because they reinstated and propped up the unpopular shah after a democratically elected revolution in the 50s, thus creating the environment the Islamic Revolution used to thrive.
IIRC houthis are Shia and their goal was to overthrow the presumably Sunni SA-backed Yemeni government. They have support from Iran due to Shia ties and are a thorn in SAs power projection in the region. The US is allied to SA and Israel and clashes with Iran so it’s not surprising they’re being used to disrupt western interests. They would clearly have no love for the US because of its weapon provisions to SA.
China and Russia, both adversarial to the US, love this and are clearly using anti-US / west sentiments to their benefit, even though they both are trash authoritarian governments. This is all, likely, a ripple effect from colonialism. China and Russia benefit from the US / the west having to fight the consequences of their colonialism, though both are neo-colonialists themselves.
TLDR: this is all not really that surprising.
Why is China included in your Axis of Evil? Their leadership might be shit right now but they haven’t started a war and nor are they anything like North Korea. I can visit Shanghai and have a lovely day but I can’t even legally go to Pyongyang, Tehran, or St. Petersburg right now.
Not endorsing the CCP or anything. I condemn Hamas, etc. China just seems like it’s a few notches below the others.
Not sure what you mean re: “pro-Houthi comments” - I am not seeing much of that. At least in the communities I frequent, there doesn’t seem to be too much sympathy for a non-state actor who’s simply bandwagoning on the whole “let’s shoot missiles at Israel and see what happens” thing.
"Axis of evil" bruh no. These are all pretty horrible states, but don't act like the West isn't currently funding and protecting a genocide. They're not any more evil than the West.
