All actions have consequences.
The United States and their subsidiaries have functioned for decades under the premise that their own actions can never have consequences, because they are gods, who act on the world and yet cannot be affected by the world.
It’s not working out for them.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis vowed on Sunday to continue targeting British ships in the Gulf of Aden following the sinking of UK-owned vessel Rubymar.
The U.S. military confirmed on Saturday that the UK-owned vessel Rubymar had sunk after being struck by an anti-ship ballistic missile fired by Yemeni Houthi militants on Feb. 18.

If every group of freedom fighters tired of the oppression they experience at the hands of the American government started acting like the Houthis, the empire would be forced to either withdraw or invade the entire world and just try to kill everyone.
It’s a whole new world.
Thomas Jefferson said “the rifle made every man tall.” (It’s a reference to the fact that in a sword-fight, the taller guy is going to win.) Similarly, the drone has made every resistance group an air power.
God balances the scales. Always.
You can take that to the bank.
The Houthis delivered a serious blow to the Pentagon with homemade drones.
More than two months of direct clashes with the Houthis have placed a heavy burden on the US military. America spends heavily on destroying cheap drones, launching retaliatory strikes, and defending… pic.twitter.com/gQoewJSn5o
