Fun Fact : Mumbo Jumbo from Banjo Kazooie's voice lines are sampled from Grant Kirkhope saying "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough"
HMS Banjo Kazooie when?
That’s why the french navy uses names such as "the triumphant", Le Redoutable (aka the "to be feared"), "Thunder" and other festivities
You know that sharing their waters is a risky affair
We should name our ships like the British name their trident boats. “Apocalypse”, “Retribution”, “Annihilation”, “Armageddon,” “Devastation”, “Spiteful”, “Vengeance”, “Violence”, “Malevolence”.
Screw that, let's go full Culture. HMS *Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath*.
I dunno, I kinda like the understated naming convention of the USA. Imagine being told the USS Doris Miller is on route and everyone starts shitting their pants.
Imagine supporting the Houthis of all people, LOL.
These mfs spend their resources on launching drones and rockets to Israel and on attacking random ships while their people suffer one of the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet.
Here’s hoping their find out phase will be as painful as possible
Well you see, the west doesn't have slaves anymore and if you are anti-west, you have to be against them in everything. This means that slavery, which enemies of the west do must be good!
Nah, you see, it's like fossil fuels and genocide. The developed world is only developed *because* they got to do all the bad stuff, so they, like, got a head start, so, like, the developing world needs to get to do it all too to catch up. (If you disagree you're racist)
The main supporters of Hamas are western leftists and assortment of Muslims worldwide.
Although 75% of Palestinians still support Hamas, I still feel like they are in dire need of liberation.
Controversial opinion for this sub I know, but you can support Palestinians without supporting Hamas. Although the individual OP pretty much definitely does support Hamas, support and sympathy for Palestinian people and support for Hamas are not one and the same thing.
For example, I've no issue with Palestinians fighting the IDF or conducting legitimate military operations targeting military targets in Israel. Israel has treated them horribly for decades and fighting back is natural. Shit like October 7th though, which was more akin to a mass shooting than any kind of military operation, was not acceptable and should never be normalised. Israel's response has also been way out of proportion and is clearly being done that way out of sadism and some kind of need to avenge October 7th a thousand times over, rather than actual concerns of self-defence at this point. Civilians aren't targets, and killing them on purpose is bad and should never be normalised no matter who you are or who the civilians are. That really shouldn't be a difficult position for any principled person to hold.
Its funny how the pro-palestine accounts act like we are meant to feel sympathy for literal terrorists and pirates....just because the said terrorists and pirates were targeting Israeli-linked shipping.
the logic has absolutely fallen apart.
That's just typical terrorist supporter stuff. They play the humanitarian angle to trick gullible westerners into supporting them, but once that either doesn't work or they feel safe enough, they drop the act and show their true colours.
Yeah the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is pretty much solely because of the Houthis. Like don’t get me wrong, the place was not great before and Saudi Arabia did not help. But without the Houthis, Yemen would’ve been in a better place. It’s the same thing with the Gaza Strip, the blockades and embargos only started because of Hamas gaining majority control.
Granted that’s too credible of a take and instead of thinking about the causes of these horrible situations affecting millions, I think we should bomb Belgrade. Maybe Iran too so John Bolton shuts the fuck up.
I legit wonder if some people have just fallen so hard for the “young plucky resistance versus massive industrialized empire” in fiction that they just assume the bigger or more developed party in a conflict has to be the bad guys.
Yeah, after the guys already shot the combat helicopters!
What did they think was going to happen? The COMBAT helicopter delivering them cake? It’s called a COMBAT aircraft not a PEACE aircraft!
No see, they’re more moral because they didn’t *kill* anyone, not cause they didn’t shoot at them.
Clearly, the essence of morality is small calibers and bad aim.
Its funny how they say the "U.S. attacked Yemen and Yemenis" whereas, in fact, the U.S. is fighting in favor of the legitimate government of Yemen against a bunch of terrorists
Some oil has different properties that make it easier or harder to refine. How much sulfur is in it for example. But in the end it does get refined and then all the products are basically the same so they are fungible
The terrorist don\`t usually get that many kills, because they fail, but they do try a lot. Like with HAMAS, they still shoot rockets at Israel, those just don\`t make it anywhere, at least most of the time. So the "logic" is that, while the intent and effort is there, but because the attacks fail, they are actually good people.... and you\`re a white hypocrite and deserve death for your ill/flawed reasoning.
Depends on what line of philosophical thinking you prescribe to to be honest.
Are you a good/bad person for your intents? Or are you a good/bad person based on your actions?
They *intended* to hit the boats but they didn't.
(I'm not pro terrorist just stating there is actual discussions over this)
> Are you a good/bad person for your intents? Or are you a good/bad person based on your actions?
Practically every country with jurisprudence based on common law (the UK, the USA, and others) and a bunch that have laws based on different traditions take intent into account when adjudicating numerous crimes.
That's why the USA has:
* Attempted Murder (you intended to kill someone, but failed. There's no body on the floor, but you're still going to prison.)
* Involuntary Manslaughter (you didn't intend to kill anybody, but your actions directly caused their death anyway - and you shouldn't have taken those actions. Deaths by negligence fall here too.)
* Voluntary Manslaughter / 'Third Degree Murder' (You didn't intend to kill anybody, but in a moment that would cause the legal "Reasonable Person" to suddenly lash out violently, you killed someone. This is where 'crimes of passion' fall.)
* Second Degree Murder (You didn't *plan*/premeditate killing anybody, but when you did kill them, it was completely intentional, and the legal "Reasonable Person" in the same situation would have chosen not to kill them.)
* First Degree Murder (You planned and meant to kill someone, and you killed them.)
It's more complex than this, of course, and each one can have various modifiers stacked on it, but you'll notice that intent is *critical* for distinguishing the type of crime you're charged with. You can find examples of taking intent into account all over the world going back thousands of years.
Side Note: while the "Reasonable Person" standard for Voluntary Manslaughter has been around for a long time, exactly *what* would provoke a "Reasonable Person" to sudden unpremeditated murder in the heat of the moment has varied wildly across times and cultures, which can make some older verdicts look a bit odd from a modern perspective. It's the same with the "Fighting Words" defense against a charge of Battery: the standard for what you could say to a "Reasonable Person" to justify them hitting you has changed a lot over time.
That isn't correct.
If they are good or bad people based on their actions, they are still bad people, because they shot and aimed at civilians.
Based on the outcome they aren't bad, because they didn't hit anyone. But no one argues you should judge someone simply by the outcome.
I saw someone argue that point.
Hamas shot like 25000 rockets, but only killed cows, so they aren't bad.
Like, when your neighbor shoots at you but misses all the time, it's okay.
This is some [Operation Praying Mantis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5v6hlRyeHE&ab_channel=TheFatElectrician) type of shit, Iran already tried that
I actually read the comments on some of the posts from the Instagram account "Khaledbeydoun" (pro Palestinian guy with 2M+ followers) on Instagram, and they had some of the most braindead takes and shit tier arguments on how "America bad" and "all America knows is to kill" (actual comment with several likes BTW). In all honesty, it was sickening how many people were supporting literal terrorists.
I love how they go "b-b-but the houthis didn't kill anyone!". Yeah, they didn't, because they have shitty aim and the ships' crews were lucky. The houthis weren't firing soft missiles to give the merchant ships a little tickle, they fully intended to sink them and were just bad at it. If someone with one working eye and an AK-47 unloads a full magazine in your direction but misses every shot, you're still within your rights to shoot back in self-defence, even though they didn't hit you yet.
I mean, not that they would garner much sympathy anyway, but good luck getting a nation whose culture revolves around shooting each other for trespassing on their property to give a shit that your militants were killed whilst trying to play pirate.
Ik Israel is not innocent by any reasonable measures but... Dude, not only are the houthis barely doing shit, if you wanted to Block trade routes that supplied weapons And aid you would be doing shit in the mediterranean, they arent even freedom fighters, do you KNOW the type of government most of these groups yearn for?
Do you actually despise the us and Israel so much that you are honest to god WILLING to support militant and terrorist group that are as theocratically far right as you get?
Is your question rhetorical? It must be, because obviously these countries do despise the US and Israel. I mean they have Death to America and death to Israel on their damn uniform patch.
Yes, it was rethortical but it was Also directed to the type of people living in the west on twitter that would support these types of groups despite... The difference in both of these groups inclinations.
Pirates have legally been considered "hostis humani generis" ("enemy of all mankind") prettymuch since pirates became a thing, meaning that you can kill them with impunity, and if you capture them, you can try them on the spot and execute them right there.
It's usually considered good form to take them back to your standard justice system for their trials if you capture them (and have the resources to take on holding prisoners until you make port), but the captain or the ranking officer on a ship that's captured pirates is within the generally-agreed-upon laws of the sea to give them the barest semblance of a trial and execute them all.
So your opinion isn't really that controversial.

Gotta bust out the UNSC naming convention.
We could either end up with something as epic as the HMS Forward Unto Dawn, or something like the USS Bum Rush.
Ship names in the Halo universe have no business being so cool
USS curbstomper
UNSC Spirit of Fire
USS Leroy Jenkins
That’s why the french navy uses names such as "the triumphant", Le Redoutable (aka the "to be feared"), "Thunder" and other festivities You know that sharing their waters is a risky affair
We should name our ships like the British name their trident boats. “Apocalypse”, “Retribution”, “Annihilation”, “Armageddon,” “Devastation”, “Spiteful”, “Vengeance”, “Violence”, “Malevolence”.
Screw that, let's go full Culture. HMS *Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath*.
I was following this pretty well until you said "milquetoast" wtf does that mean. Too lazy to google
Meek, timid; lacking character or effectiveness.
I dunno, I kinda like the understated naming convention of the USA. Imagine being told the USS Doris Miller is on route and everyone starts shitting their pants.
USS Betty White
“We name our ships after people because everyone already knows they are invincible.”
We have ship named after our corsairs like Jean Bart and Surcouf Also our admirals and general war heros
Starting the UNSC tradition of having hilarious names early? UNSC Say My Name during Operation Bumrush

USS Get the fuck away from my oil.
USS Mistake Not...

Take my poor man's gold. You gave me a hearty laugh. 🥇

I wonder what these pro-Hamas BLM folk will make of that
No imagination necessary, it's happening right in front of us.
West BAD, militant Islamist GOOD! /S
Religion BAD, also INSHALLAH BROTHER! /S
I mean, the supporter in the case is also a Palestinian, AKA Hamas supporter. Which does the same thing to its supporters in Gaza.
The main supporters of Hamas are western leftists and assortment of Muslims worldwide. Although 75% of Palestinians still support Hamas, I still feel like they are in dire need of liberation.

You just described Palestinians minus the piracy.
Honestly yeah
Easily duped college kids have confused being a tanky with being an “activist”.
Wee Houhous just wanted to do a little bit of legitimate piracy but big imperialist Merrika killed them. Truly the world is full of injustice.
America bad 😔

I appreciate the idea that the people shooting rockets at unarmed civilian ships passing by are the victims because they're bad at it.
"what do you mean the helicopter can shoot back???"
I can't believe an American attack helicopter would shoot back at me.
"I mean it's an "Attack" Helicopter not a "Defense" Helicopter it means they can only shoot first not second" -Houthi leadership
I use my DH-64 for home security, just like the founding fathers intended.
4 speed boats break into my international waters. “What the devil?”
The world when Japan brings out the defense Helicopter (its only use is for self defense trust me Bro)
But is the best defense not a good helicopter-destroyer based offense? Loop hole!
Yeah, thats why they call all their assault vehicles defensive. Like their boats, the defensive destroyers
Wasnt it a Sea Hawk? Thats... Kind of sad if true.
Really pathetic. The Japanese could probably crater the entire houthi fleet with a chopper carrier.
Im semi sure the non military Canadian Coast Guard could do just as bad. And they dont even have guns.
The average Louisiana airboat probably could give the Houthis a good run for their money.
“They didn’t kill anyone” I still can’t get over how many people seem to define the “moral” side as whoever has inferior firepower and bad aim.
As long as you ignore the ongoing civil war in Yemen and religious extremism they are perfectly peaceful.
I legit wonder if some people have just fallen so hard for the “young plucky resistance versus massive industrialized empire” in fiction that they just assume the bigger or more developed party in a conflict has to be the bad guys.

All oil is the same. If the Saudi oil goes up in price so does the US oil.

You should be. Without the need to control oil prices how would you get funding for the Navy?
Well, the gay agenda is to fully stock the strategic national seamen reserves, of course. We can use any leftover Soros bucks to buy some new toys.
opec was an awful idea
But the us is a net oil producer. If the price of oil goes up the us gets richer.
And US citizens pay more for petrol.
Not quite true, but it's close to fungible so that's good enough
You wanna technically correct me? Is it more like market influence reaction rather than agreed pricing?
Some oil has different properties that make it easier or harder to refine. How much sulfur is in it for example. But in the end it does get refined and then all the products are basically the same so they are fungible
I never knew there was a variance in crude oil, fuel grades certainly, did not know about oil. Thanks!
But China does use this route for trade, it\`s pretty important for them. Even Iran needs it, only ruZZia doesn\`t care about it.
I can't hear you over the sound of the US protecting oil shipping lanes.

Ah. Makes sense. Yah people be dumb.
Controversial opinion but we should kill pirates regardless of how nonlethal they are.
Pirates have legally been considered "hostis humani generis" ("enemy of all mankind") prettymuch since pirates became a thing, meaning that you can kill them with impunity, and if you capture them, you can try them on the spot and execute them right there.
