The US military said on Saturday that the Rubymar, a British-owned cargo ship, sank in the Red Sea after taking on water for days following a February 18 Houthi missile strike.
In response to the news, the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, vowed they would sink more British ships. The Houthis began targeting American and British commercial shipping after the US and the UK started a bombing campaign against the Houthis on January 12.
“Yemen will continue to sink more British ships, and any repercussions or other damages will be added to Britain’s bill, as it is a rogue state that attacks Yemen and partners with America in sponsoring the ongoing crime against civilians in Gaza,” said Hussein al-Ezzi, the Houthis deputy foreign minister.
The US and British bombing campaign in Yemen has only escalated the situation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden as the Houthis are not backing down. US officials recently acknowledged to CNN that they are unable to assess if the strikes are degrading the Houthis’ missile capabilities.
The US and the UK have launched four joint rounds of heavy missile strikes so far, and the US has been launching unilateral bombings almost every day. On February 29 and March 1, CENTCOM reported that it launched a total of three strikes on Houthi-controlled Yemen, which is where between 70% and 80% of Yemenis live.
The Houthis have made clear they would only stop their attacks in the region if the Israeli onslaught in Gaza comes to an end, and some US officials have said they think the Houthis would be true to their word. But the Biden administration refuses to press for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and continues to provide unconditional military aid for the slaughter of Palestinians.

More ship sinking to come…!
And even more bombing of the peaceful houthis.
🤷🏽♂️
It will take many ships sinking to sink the state of Israel.
Give it time…! It’s sinking slowly…!
Who wants to bet that we are actually compensating Israel for the loss of this ship?
No bet,I only gamble on sure things.The checks already in the mail.
It is a shame that no one other thanthe Houthis is standing up for Palestine. China remains Israel’s biggest export partner and Israel imports 220.000 barrels of oil a day from African and Asian OPEC and OPEC plus members to keep the genocide going. Even South Africa is still exporting diamonds to Israel.
The world needs BDS! Now!
The same goes for our American citizens whom don’t like the choices between Bidenn and Trump which ain’t much of a choice.has any media commented on Trumps mental and emotional growing worse day by day. He never was a polished speaker but he makes no sense at all now.
I guess this weekend he confused Obama with Biden. Which seems like a step up for him, going colorblind.
I fear for humanity and civilization if Trump wins. There is no limit to the horrors we will create and accomplish. He needs to be in a mental facility NOW. His mind never bright except for grifting is gone into never never land.
I fear for humanity right now.
Smoke some weed,drink some Scotch and enjoy your few remaining years. As John Malkovich said in Dangerous Liasons” It is out of my or our control”.
Eldridge Cleaver once said (paraphrasing) “We don’t need to worry about the Nazis taking over the United States. That happened in 1619” That was the year the first enslaved Africans in the English colonies were delivered to Jamestown.
