Every line of this is like the hardest poo poo I've ever heard.

quote:

Do the Americans, the British, and the Zionists expect that any hostile action against Yemen will distract us from defending Gaza?

We swear, if we turn into atoms scattered in the air, we will not leave Gaza, and we will continue to target Zionist ships and those going to it. We will confront America, kneel it down, and burn its battleships and all its bases and everyone who cooperates with it, no matter what the cost. We will not leave #غزة and let the great war break out. We are its people and its men.

To our family, our brothers, our sons, and our fathers in #غزة we are with you, you are not alone, our blood is shed for you, and we are with you until the breath is cut off.

God refuses us submission and humiliation while your blood is shed. What will God say to us on the day we meet Him?
You failed Gaza
No, by God, we will not let her down, no matter what the cost


The world must prepare to hear America's defeat, and I say it with all pride: We will tread on America with our feet, and whoever does not know us, the battlefields will know about our strength and strength.

We will not warn, nor will we threaten. Stay tuned for what soothes your chests

He is God

I'm guessing "strength and strength" is a machine translation error and it's meant to be "strength and resilience" or "power" or something along those lines.

is it really kicking off? Because the US/UK launched attacks against an anti-genocide blockade?

Funniest thing was first the US tried to do “prosperity guardian” and couldn’t protect ships at all, but they can drop bombs!

is there anything to the whole "hamas leadership sitting fat on billions in Qatar" thing?

They have a large investment portfolio, although I think it is more like 'hundreds of millions'. This is a normal thing governments have. It is not owned by the leadership and judging from photos it is not significantly spent on them.

Mandel Brotset posted:

they’ve been doing that for months already and they engaged an entire carrier group on tuesday lol

e: but I suppose you meant commercial traffic

The recent attack on the carrier group was I believe the first direct attack on war ships they have made.

that reads as being about the "death to america, death to israel" part, not the "curse on the jews" bit :shrug:

any genocide verdict would be years away. this shows that (a) the disruption to shipping has become intolerable, and (b) they aren't expecting israel to pull back (and aren't pressuring them to do so)

why are the sailors (the ones helping out bomb yemen) wearing these weird full body white suits? seems incredibly bizarre, why do you need everything to be white (its not like you're getting nuked), and white gloves and a face mask and something covering your hair?

It's anti flash protection.

Sailors on warships, historically, were badly burned by the initial flash of explosions in close quarters, and so protective gear protects them from that in combat.

I never know when people are asking in passing or actually want to know what happens to people when a warship is struck by a projectile so that's the simplest explanation.

I have the flash tables and damage reports somewhere around here, but flash was a serious cause of wounds in the First World War, before it was better understood.

that thin looking white garment makes a big difference for that? It seems surprising to have a full body thin fabric covering and nothing over your eyes. Should they be wearing that stuff in WW2 naval movies, but it just looks too dumb?

I'm not sure if I've seen pics of the USN using flash protection like that for my whole life. I don't think there's even been a point in time since the Vietnam War when it looked like the USN would get shot at.

White color is a reflective surface for light. The purpose is to guard your skin from overexposure.
