Lmao, not a piracy problem. Just the Yemenis carrying out legitimate naval interdiction operations and interference from Israel's allies. Mfkers pretending this is a piracy problem like off the coast of Somalia when it's just ships affiliated with Israel being interdicted.
I am going to have a maybe controversial opinion here on hexbear chapo lemmy and say that uh, I do not like the state of Israel and I do not like the state of China...
...but uh what? This is a nothing burger. Even if a Chinese ship is on an anti piracy mission, and even if this all actually happened as described...
Is China a major ally or in a military alliance with, or even known to militarily cooperate with Israel or its allies?
... No?
Was China probably interested in doing anti piracy for its own state owned shipping company and those that are based in and/or operated by and/or largely shipping to itself and its regional allies / more friendly states?
Yes?
Wow, what a shocking story /s.
This is just plain old geopolitics, you dont even need to have an ideology, just a basic grasp of like international politics 101 to see this.
EDIT: Oh right, I forgot that the vast majority of human beings are not really capable of entertaining any idea more complicated than Our Team Good, Other Team BAD, how silly of me.
I'm getting my alt to downvote you @Aru@lemmygrad.ml
Downvote away! The internet is like Whose Line Is It Anyway:
The rules are made up, and the points don't matter.
You got downvoted for snark and not because people disagreed with your initial points. Btw, you weren't downvoted by Hexbear users (we don't have downvotes, can't even see them).
Well people are snarky here all the time so I guess I am the wrong kind of snarky.
And I was replying directly to someone who said they were using an alt to down vote me.
I am relatively new to lemmy, apologies for not reading all of the sidebars or rules or whatever on every single board i post on.
yeah, this was the issue lol, a communist forum is not the best place to condescend about the vast majority of people (the proletariat) being idiots.
