The Houthis, though weak and woman-like on the battlefield, are masters of the textile arts. Taste like king crab, by the way.

May I interest you in the true story of the siege of the crusader cannibal kings?

the Christians did not shrink from eating not only killed Turks or Saracens, but even creeping dogs
Uh...
28
To be fair, they did offer the defense that they were very hungry.
14
It's more so the fact that eating dogs is seen as the worse of the 2.
"I can excuse cannibalism, but I draw the line at eating dogs!"
"You can excuse cannibalism?"
37
"Albert of Aix remarked that "the Christians did not shrink from eating not only killed Turks or Saracens, but even creeping dogs", thus cynically suggesting that eating dogs was even worse than eating Muslims. The crusaders' cannibalism is also briefly mentioned in an Arab source, which likewise explains it as due to hunger ("racked by dearth")."
Not a cell phone in sight.

Thankfully this conflict period is not available to us in 4K video

The houthis are a militia that rules Yemen illegally (we are a republic, they want it a kingdom), but they are the furthest thing from cowards. And yes, they are probably weak because the technology gap.

Did you just call the Houthis woman-like? Do you know who the Houthis are?

right? more like woman-don't like
12
Damn not what I meant but I can see how it can be read that way lol

Bitches.

Calling them bitches just sounds like cope

What are you an officer in the Fijian navy? "Hey hey Biden hey, how many houthis have you eaten today!"

"Sir on our present course the computer predicts a 100% chance we'll be blown in half by that sea mine, we'll never make it!"
"Not with that attitude we won't. Maintain course!"

What are you doing in a minefield?

All right, we need some fake cargo ships, an advanced auto-pilot, a bunch of Israeli flags, high explosives, and 99 cans of paint to write a message telling them to attack the ship.

I can see no flaws with this

And one American flag.

Don’t forget the geese. The geese are very important.

If you just go fast enough, the missiles and drones can't catch up with your boat!

honeslty i feel lied to, saw a similar meme, went to check the ship traffic website
cairo is still used by hundreds of ships lol

There are PMCs offering to protect ships in the area. Some will even help booby trap the ships in case they get boarded.
According to the article, they are limited to bolt action or semi-automatic rifles due to working under British maritime laws.
27
feels weird to booby trap civilian ships, there probably passed like 30k ships in the time yemen attacked 3 and threatned like 20, the ratio is so small it would feel like a huge investment with no benefit
then again i know nothing about anti-piracy operations so don't quote me

Given that rising insurance prices (and the risk of paying compensation to families of killed, injured crew members) has pushed several of the worlds largest shipping companies to sail round the cape, those costs must be pretty significant. I doubt the decision was out of concern for the crew, it was entirely financial.
If hiring mercenaries reassures insurers and reduces insurance costs it might actually save you money, and it will reduce the chance of being held liable for crew members being captured or killed.

Well drilled PMC operators would still be pretty handy to have on board.

lies and deceit lay the foundation upon any memes are built in this subreddit

Just squish africa up a bit more and you can shrink the time taken even more!

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.

"You see, Houthis have a pre-set kill limit. Knowing this, I sent wave after wave of my own men through the Red Sea."

We need Zapp Brannigan as admiral of OP Prosperity Guardian
He would just leave his ships stationary right off the coast to fully absorb every missile and drone, like a target ship would and then taunt them once their out of ammo
I knew these robots have pre-set kill limits, so I sent more troops than their circuits would allow!
He's the General in charge of avdiivka assault.
