Iranian-backed Houthi?

No Israeli ship should travel anywhere without a full complement of RPGs and machine pistols. A 50 calibre rifle might come in handy too.

No Israelis on board. Israel don’t care

But I’m wondering if the bad guys watched, Captain Phillips.

A British owned ship, registered in the Bahamas, leased to a Japanese company. No Israeli personnel on board.

I am guessing they are drawing straws between SEALs and the SAS in Djibouti to see who takes the ship back.

The Houthi’s are idiots.

Time for Israel to do what Jefferson did to the Barbary Coast pirates.

These freaks fast-roped out of a chopper onto the ship. Hardly camel-jockey rebels.

Outcome should be interesting.

The Houthis are Shia Muslims (over 60% believe America is an immoral Satanic country).

History item:
“In 2003, the Houthis’ slogan, “God is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam”, became the group’s trademark.”

Kinda catchy./S

Remember, there are over 3 million Muslims in the US and over 1.6 billion elsewhere.

Obamatollah and Blinking Idiot have passed the message to their buddies, that hostage taking is a pot of gold and you can get Israel to do what you want in the end. And by extension get every pathetic handwringing western country to do what you want as well.

Houthis are a ferocious crazy tribal people who act like monkeys with full auto small arms

You have a line of armor and infantry across a half mile open plain and hand them RPGs and black guns and order them to charge across open terrain and destroy and they will do it or try

I’ve never seen anything like them

This doesn’t surprise me in the least but I doubt they piloted the chopper

Maybe one of them was watching a YouTube instruction video

I kid u not they are nuts

Thanks for posting. Not much information about the shooter.

That video is so fake yet all sources are reporting like it’s real news footage. I wonder what video game platform or AI was used to produce it.
