A cargo ship that was struck by a Houthi ballistic missile on Monday has created an 18-mile long oil slick in the Red Sea as it continues to take on water, two US officials said Friday.
The M/V Rubymar — a Belize-flagged, UK-registered, Lebanese-owned vessel — was carrying 41,000 tons of fertilizer when it was struck on Monday by one of two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi territory in Yemen.
US Central Command said the ship is currently anchored as it takes on water. “The Houthis continue to demonstrate disregard for the regional impact of their indiscriminate attacks, threatening the fishing industry, coastal communities, and imports of food supplies,” US Central Command said.
They wish to disrupt trade. And disrupt the narrative of the war.
Evidence: they’re disrupting trade. We’re talking about this.
My entire point is that pollution and article is irrelevant.
No side is perfect but there’s one side who have ultimately orchestrated that part of the world to the place it’s in now.
The US put the extremists in charge in Iran because of the Red scare.
The US put the extremists in charge in Saudi Arabia for the oil supply.
The US has supported Israel’s stance against any non-jew in creating an apartheid state.
The US has given weapons to several sides.
The US has directly bombed several countries.
All while not supporting the Arab spring and grass roots push for democracy.
“Not perfect” doesn’t cut it. The US is aggressively colonialist, just as the British were before them.
