Thanks Sal. Well done. I don't think your description of the conflict was biased. Just factual. Without mentioning the connection, there is no connection to what precipitated the attack. RUclips's censorship is an issue to content providers and viewers alike.
One shouldn't be naive that "commoners" might have as good or better intelligence than a government in that area or, more specifically, Ansar Allah. I suspect that Ansar Allah had better intelligence of the ownership/cargo/destination of the subject vessel. If you want to talk about lost lives, they also have very serious grievances with respect to Saudi Arabia and its government and closeness to the US who is of course also complicit with ISRA. Even if the vessel was turning around, if some of its cargo was to be eventually used by the war machine and the taking of innocence, in my opinion it was worthy of being a target for the good of a greater "law" including one that is in the books of international law that should trump another noted in this video.
RUclips has a horrible reputation for censorship and allowing people to post outrageous lies and horrific acts. Remember the beheading video which aired for hours before being removed? Then if you post anything pro Israel it gets flagged and you get suspended. Horrible platform.
@@deanmartin2332 My comment addresses your question. Don't presume to know more than Ansar Allah in this situation. Since it was targeted, they almost certainly had a good reason. Maybe they'll eventually disclose the reason why but if in doing so an intelligence source might be compromised, don't expect it. Keep in mind that clandestine operations are taking place in the area and the Saudi gov't is in bed with the US.

Very informative and a great breakdown of this growing International situation and how confusing it can be with registration of ships etc. Thanks again Captain Sal.
It is worth remembering that there is still a civil war in Yemen, with Saudi Arabia previously involved against the Houthis, with a peace treaty still not signed between the Houthis & Saudi.
Bingo. 1,000,000 civilians starved out or just straight up killed in 10 years of conflict by US supported Saudi Arabia and UAE. Strike 1 -Destination Saudi port. Strike 2 - Falsified registration. It has been suggested in the comments that it may have been a COMS issue after the ship turned around, either between the Houthi themselves or ship to shore or even a tracking error with the missiles tracking the other inbound ship, blowing by and locking on to the stern of the 'True Confidence'. All speculation, I doubt we will ever know. But I will say if somehow that information were to be released we would be hearing it here first on Sal's channel.
@@joanofarc3319 When you roll in to other country with 100s off tanks and 150 planes its called invasion .Russia can also say that they just back Viktor Yushchenko who was brought down on the street. I find many countries mainly USA who use excuse off backing some "opposition" to attack or invade some country
Prayers to the families of the lost sailors , Thanks for the updates, and Congratulations on 200k subscribers ! And thanks to the Indian Navy for doing an outstanding job on coming to people’s aid
Those that died were the armed guards on the ship, they were the only one on the deck because the captain just had decided to ignore Yemenis warning to turn around, there's a naval blockade and they should of listend. I don't know who told them guns can stop anti ship missile🤦♂️
@@gang3576 Did you watch the video? The Captain heeded the warning and turned around. The ship was sailing away when it was attacked. Get you head out of your @$$.
Indian workers are saving far more lives by refusing to load shipping connected to Israel Houthi are saving more lives than they take by doing their naval interdiction. The USA puts sanctions, sometimes blockades, on countries like Iran & Cuba that they can no longer control as puppets. I don't want merchant crews, often very poorly paid, of all people to be put at risk or die. Nobody should put their lives ahead of Palestinians in Gaza & West Bank. I suspect they fired at the ship anyway because it was insured by Israel & the Houthi had a chance to hurt Israel's tanking economy with a far cheaper missile. As USA's domestic support for Israel drops, Israel will increasingly need to sustain itself. Israel's economy is already tanking as it's many conscripts are removed from the economy. Financial products like Insurance are potentially very profitable with miniscule amounts of manpower. Attacking that ship attacks Israel's economy. The sooner Israel's money run out, the genocide, apartheid & national security state will be unaffordable.
Lloyds of London didn't even know what was going on inside Lloyds of London. Corporate Media doesn't believe in specialist journalists - this is both to save money & it helps to direct a narrative when your "journalists" don't know nearly enough to question it.
@@JohnSmith-ft4gcLloyds was originally a café where independent insurers would gather to do business, Lloyds have attempted to maintain this model though the premises & infrastructure have expanded.
@@alanhat5252 I know all about Lloyds. It's cafe origins are absolutely irrelevant here. The Insider Trading, selling & reselling insurance with commission fees being the object, signing up "Names" with unlimited liability, in order to clumping them together and shift bad assets to offload liability in the 1990s IS relevant. A communist having to explain profoundly bourgious business issues is every bit as bad as an anarchist having to explain laws to you.
As a Bristol Bay Tender crew member, I feel while at sea, all men are on the same team, nobody I have ever met cares about the nationality, or color of a man in need of rescue.
Really appreciate your updates, even as someone who is not at all affiliated with shipping. Clear, concise, and interesting videos. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad you cover the difficult things and you do it with respect and sincerity...rare qualities on any media and what we need the most. Thank you very much. Namaste
Thank you Sal. Not a story that you wanted to do. But you did a Great job bringing it out. The line has been crossed. It is going to be interesting to see what happens now. Cheers.
@@tubthump I would say 1917 but if you're referring in part to the USS Liberty, certainly that too for those wanting to wave the US flag (and don't get me started about 911 and who were more effectively behind that).
Once again superb commentary. Absolutely fair and balanced. I spent 20 years at sea during my career in the Navy. The loss of ANY mariner is tragic. More so when it is needless. RIP mariners, I hope that someone figures out a solution to this madness.
This is YOUR channel. I watch for your content and professional, informed opinion on this subject matter. I will continue watching regardless of what YT monetizing algorithms do or don't do. Please keep providing your professional opinion!
Thanks, Sal! Great update on the situation around the Red Sea and totally agree with what you had to say "politically" about the circumstances of this attack on international shipping.
Kudos to India for saving lives. It's good to get a little good news out of this tragedy. Prayers for the victims. (Edit: Of course I pray for civilians of both sides of the Iraseli Palestine war. But it saddens me to see the hijacking of a message of condolences of the lost Merchant Sailors here and dilutes their suffering as discussed here in this individual instance. All victims obviously matter here, I just hope for the best everyone negative feedback aside. Please take care all.)
@@bujmoose3992 In all their official communications, they say, on multiple occasions, they're doing this for Gaza. And it's officially recognized by the US DOD department even if you news will never tell you. There are hundreds of official translation of Houthis government on Al Jazeera, Sky News Australia, and many other main stream news networks. Many news channels in UK covers this too. (not BBC of course)
@@bujmoose3992 The fact that they started doing this during Israel's genocide & not before is demonstrative they are doing it for palestinians - around half are children becuase life expectancy was very low well before October 7th : slow starvation from the "Gaza diet" imposed by Israel, bad water - controlled by Israel. Since October 7th, Israel has been targeting civilians as an act of State Terror because they can't fight Hamas effectively. Every palestinian knows you are safer from a tank the closer you get, while Israel conscripts think they are safe inside the tank Hamas doesn't use human shields, Gaza & west bank are cramped thanks to Israel's ongoing land theft. Israel uses human shields by using settlements in Palestine for a military purpose, along with "administrative detention" of palestinian children without charge.
Where else can you get this depth, context, and analysis? Answer: Nowhere. I mean come on.. international law, treaties, civil and military maritime procedures, ship design, dynamics of global commerce.. this has to be one of the smartest channels on RUclips!
Thanks for the thorough/honest job you do and for clearly explaining so your average Joe can understand. Prayers to all the families who have lost loved ones and the whole crew affected by this tragedy and to the Indian rescuer's and medical team for the harrowing conditions they've been through. All brave men. Thank-you again for your reporting, your a brave man for doing this work.

Thank you for the update, Sal. Sad as it is, this is so important to get out there so people will be able to understand what is happening with shipping in that part of the world. It affects all of us, but especially the crews and their families, the ship owners, although as you stated this is not always easy to determine. My heart hurts for the crews, who are hard working, and trying to better their lives and support their families at home. They have nothing to do with what is going on with the unrest in that part of the world. Many thanks to the Indian Navy for rescuing this crew. Condolences to the families of the crew members that were killed. It's a sad day.
This is one more nightmare scenario that all the spouses and families of our merchant mariners live with every time they brave the seas. There are already numerous dangers involved ... but this one does me in. I just can't.
@@george00110The difference is that the so-called "Palestinian plight" isn't fought by innocent civilians, but by jihadists and that's why the comment was made. You're trying to politicize a comment that wasn't intended to be political.
@@coachwendy5618 The first part of your comment is just plain drivel and not worthy of reply. Regarding the second part, the initial comment here on its face isn't necessarily political, it more or less is however given the context. The context is the subject matter of the video that the comment is addressing. One can't address that subject matter and just ignore the root of that subject which is the situation in Palestine. I can understand given the first part of your comment why someone ignorant like you might not feel for Palestinians but I care - not because of their religion or ethnicity but because they are being severely oppressed. If, in this context, someone wants to demonstrate their empathy by crying a river for a few souls navigating the "brave" seas, then maybe also show some empathy in the same breath for the Palestinians if you truly have compassion.

As you freely express your views using American English on American-owned RUclips powered by American-invented Internet. You need to leave modern American society if you're going to justify murdering innocent civilian sailors for no reason.
Sorry if this was demonetized. It was good reporting. RUclips needs to understand the difference between legitimate content with reasonable views and the junk that they promote.
Just, damn. Very good report, Sal, even though it's sure not anything any sane person wants to hear / see. Prayers for the injured and killed, and their families.
The world can not be free with free speech impeded. You are doing a wonderful job depicting the situation as you and many others see it irresolute of critics opinions. Great job !
The Houthis are undoubtedly just as aware as anyone else of the nature of the Liberian ship registry. The fact that it is located not in Liberia but in Virginia in the US is probably enough for them to make the American connection that they want. This presumably means that any Liberian-flagged vessel is a "legitimate" target as far as they are concerned. It also seems that they have improved the terminal guidance of their missiles, and the problem of warheads failing to detonate. Plus are they now concentrating more on shipping in the Gulf of Aden rather than the southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb? Does the Western naval coverage extend out into the Gulf of Aden, or are they concentrated in the southern Red Sea?
نعم انت على حق انت رجل ذكي وكلامك منطقي و الحوثي يفكرون ويعملون بجد لتطوير قدراتهم بأستمرار عملو على تطوير وتصنيع الصواريخ خلال أقل من 5 سنوات لقد بدأو من الصفر لديهم طموح وخطط لكي يكون من الدول المصنعة العظمى لقد تعلمو من خلال تجاربهم في الحروب لأكثر من 15 سنه يجب أن تصنع و تطور سلاحك و غذائك بيدك و تنهظ ببلدك في كل المجالات الاقتصادية و السياسية و العسكرية حتى يكونوا دولة عظمى لا يستهان بها و لا احد يتجرأ عليهم
All their missiles are Iranian. So the Houthies are the test bed for a larger conflict in the Persian gulf. The west weak response only encourages them.
They have stated, after much speculation, that the attack on the TRUE CONFIDENCE involved a type of missile that they have not previously used, and that it is meant to mark a new phase of escalation. I believe that many of their ineffective attacks were not meant to be overly destructive, but merely to deter and harass ships without causing harm to the crews. Any ship with ties to the Zionist supporting nations that continues to traverse the Bab el Mandeb is now in much greater danger than they were up until this turning point.
@@mordechai8008 Indeed, just as the West's faltering support for Ukraine is encouraging Russia, and confirming Putin's view of us as weak and decadent.

These mariners were murdered. What would the world justice systems do if 3 tourists were murdered somewhere? Let's assume they are important tourists. Should there not be legal attempts made to prosecute the perpetrators? As a war crime? Or a terroristic crime? Or just as a 1st degree murder? Civil case? There is no official war so what now? What justice do the mariners get? Heartbreaking.
How do these ships get insurance when traversing wartime routes? So sad that there is loss of life. Your report on cut communications cables scooped all the networks. Many had no idea about these cables. Great channel! Respect to the Indian rescuers.
Agree with you 100% Sal. This whole thing is getting way to serious! Sad that after all these years the population of this little planet still can't get along and develop some shared common sense. Sad that these totally innocent mariners lost their lives because of a bunch of BS and political influence. I served in Vietnam and my son served in Iraq and IMHO it was all BS!!!
Chinese origin and Chinese owned are different things. I would imagine that if it is being exported, it has already been paid for. If not is insured anyway.
@@AnarchyEnsues You neglected to say we also drink b@bies bl00d on Passover, and dance around in the light of a full moon. International Zionism was made up propaganda in Zarist Russia. How would you like it if someone made up stoties about you ?
Apparently Iran may supply some schematics for propulsion but it certainly does not control domestic production let alone full control over diplomacy or military. Closure of this ‘Gate of Grief’ is costing China, Iran Djiboti and Egypt more than anyone. In the future, with China’s help both Somalia & Yemen can build man made islands to further stretch their territorial waters and establish an extended border & then build a canal to monetize this straight. Then we’ll see 20% increase in cost of shipping go to transit.

It has been suggested in the comments that it may have been a COMS issue after the ship turned around, either between the Houthi themselves or ship to shore or even a tracking error with the missiles tracking the other inbound ship, blowing by and locking on to the stern of the 'True Confidence'.
All speculation, I doubt we will ever know. But I will say if somehow that information were to be released we would be hearing it here first on Sal's channel.
Wait, does that count as a civil war?
Its not civil war, Saudia Arabia trued to invade Yemen but failed
@@dzonikgI mean there's a bunch of factions with some being backed by countries, its often called a civil war.
@@joanofarc3319 When you roll in to other country with 100s off tanks and 150 planes its called invasion .Russia can also say that they just back Viktor Yushchenko who was brought down on the street.
I find many countries mainly USA who use excuse off backing some "opposition" to attack or invade some country
Prayers to the families of the lost sailors , Thanks for the updates, and Congratulations on 200k subscribers ! And thanks to the Indian Navy for doing an outstanding job on coming to people’s aid
The Navy has Sailors... The Merchant Marine has Mariners...
What does that even mean "Prayers to the families of the lost . . . " They dont want your sentiments, they want justice
Those that died were the armed guards on the ship, they were the only one on the deck because the captain just had decided to ignore Yemenis warning to turn around, there's a naval blockade and they should of listend. I don't know who told them guns can stop anti ship missile🤦♂️
@@gang3576 Did you watch the video? The Captain heeded the warning and turned around. The ship was sailing away when it was attacked. Get you head out of your @$$.
Indian workers are saving far more lives by refusing to load shipping connected to Israel
Houthi are saving more lives than they take by doing their naval interdiction. The USA puts sanctions, sometimes blockades, on countries like Iran & Cuba that they can no longer control as puppets. I don't want merchant crews, often very poorly paid, of all people to be put at risk or die. Nobody should put their lives ahead of Palestinians in Gaza & West Bank.
I suspect they fired at the ship anyway because it was insured by Israel & the Houthi had a chance to hurt Israel's tanking economy with a far cheaper missile. As USA's domestic support for Israel drops, Israel will increasingly need to sustain itself. Israel's economy is already tanking as it's many conscripts are removed from the economy. Financial products like Insurance are potentially very profitable with miniscule amounts of manpower. Attacking that ship attacks Israel's economy. The sooner Israel's money run out, the genocide, apartheid & national security state will be unaffordable.
I think Sal knows whats going down before Lloyds of London or CNN
🧑⚖️📜📺
Pun sadly intended
Lloyds of London didn't even know what was going on inside Lloyds of London. Corporate Media doesn't believe in specialist journalists - this is both to save money & it helps to direct a narrative when your "journalists" don't know nearly enough to question it.
@@JohnSmith-ft4gcLloyds was originally a café where independent insurers would gather to do business, Lloyds have attempted to maintain this model though the premises & infrastructure have expanded.
@@alanhat5252 I know all about Lloyds. It's cafe origins are absolutely irrelevant here.
The Insider Trading, selling & reselling insurance with commission fees being the object, signing up "Names" with unlimited liability, in order to clumping them together and shift bad assets to offload liability in the 1990s IS relevant.
A communist having to explain profoundly bourgious business issues is every bit as bad as an anarchist having to explain laws to you.
As a Bristol Bay Tender crew member, I feel while at sea, all men are on the same team, nobody I have ever met cares about the nationality, or color of a man in need of rescue.
Only pricks are Houti
For most of the world, but not all.
The one true channel where the information is clear, true and simple enough to understand for everyone about what's going on with civilian shipping.
Really appreciate your updates, even as someone who is not at all affiliated with shipping. Clear, concise, and interesting videos. Keep up the good work!
I remember saying "It's only a matter of time" and hoping to be proven wrong
I'm glad you cover the difficult things and you do it with respect and sincerity...rare qualities on any media and what we need the most. Thank you very much.

Sal, I have said this before and I will say it again. You are a good man and you speak your conscience. What more could a person wish for?❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your views and insight. Prayers for the crew and their situation. Thanks Sal !!
"Prayers'? Stop virtue signalling.
Thanks Sal!
Once again superb commentary. Absolutely fair and balanced. I spent 20 years at sea during my career in the Navy. The loss of ANY mariner is tragic. More so when it is needless. RIP mariners, I hope that someone figures out a solution to this madness.
This is YOUR channel. I watch for your content and professional, informed opinion on this subject matter. I will continue watching regardless of what YT monetizing algorithms do or don't do. Please keep providing your professional opinion!
Thanks, Sal! Great update on the situation around the Red Sea and totally agree with what you had to say "politically" about the circumstances of this attack on international shipping.
Thank you!
This is one of my go-to channels for current events, and I appreciate your good coverage, Sal.
Your documenting, raising awareness and educating people is so valuable! Thankyou
Appreciate the update and Walkthrough. Thanks for all that you do.
Kudos to India for saving lives.
It's good to get a little good news out of this tragedy.
Prayers for the victims.
(Edit: Of course I pray for civilians of both sides of the Iraseli Palestine war. But it saddens me to see the hijacking of a message of condolences of the lost Merchant Sailors here and dilutes their suffering as discussed here in this individual instance. All victims obviously matter here, I just hope for the best everyone negative feedback aside. Please take care all.)
I wonder if you pray that hard for the children being starved in Gaza. Houthis fight for those kids'
@@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2 Houthis don't give a damn about children in Gaza.
@@bujmoose3992 In all their official communications, they say, on multiple occasions, they're doing this for Gaza. And it's officially recognized by the US DOD department even if you news will never tell you. There are hundreds of official translation of Houthis government on Al Jazeera, Sky News Australia, and many other main stream news networks. Many news channels in UK covers this too. (not BBC of course)
@@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2houthis don’t give a shit about Gaza.
@@bujmoose3992 The fact that they started doing this during Israel's genocide & not before is demonstrative they are doing it for palestinians - around half are children becuase life expectancy was very low well before October 7th : slow starvation from the "Gaza diet" imposed by Israel, bad water - controlled by Israel. Since October 7th, Israel has been targeting civilians as an act of State Terror because they can't fight Hamas effectively. Every palestinian knows you are safer from a tank the closer you get, while Israel conscripts think they are safe inside the tank
Hamas doesn't use human shields, Gaza & west bank are cramped thanks to Israel's ongoing land theft. Israel uses human shields by using settlements in Palestine for a military purpose, along with "administrative detention" of palestinian children without charge.
I was waiting for this as soon as the news article came out! Thanks Sal. RIP to those mariners!
They're trying to perturb or shut down maritime traffic through the region, it doesn't really matter what country the ship is from.
Thank you. These are tough times for truth tellers.
Love your program, don’t stop being passionate about these issues or the brave men and woman who sail the high seas.
Thanks for the honest brake downs & expertise . Love your channel!
Where else can you get this depth, context, and analysis? Answer: Nowhere. I mean come on.. international law, treaties, civil and military maritime procedures, ship design, dynamics of global commerce.. this has to be one of the smartest channels on RUclips!
Sal, thanks for your professionalism and compassion mate
Many thanks for the update Sal. Great info as usual
Thank you Sal for the amazing coverage- our thoughts and prayers to the families of the mariners
Thanks for the thorough/honest job you do and for clearly explaining so your average Joe can understand. Prayers to all the families who have lost loved ones and the whole crew affected by this tragedy and to the Indian rescuer's and medical team for the harrowing conditions they've been through. All brave men.
Thank-you again for your reporting, your a brave man for doing this work.
You are absolutely right, Sal. Thank you for taking a stand in defense of international law and lives and safety of mariners everywhere.
I think you're justified to get more than a little riled up, although, I also understand how politics is divisive. Cheers and thanks for covering yet another breach. It's important and matters, so thanks.

Thank you for the update, Sal. Sad as it is, this is so important to get out there so people will be able to understand what is happening with shipping in that part of the world. It affects all of us, but especially the crews and their families, the ship owners, although as you stated this is not always easy to determine. My heart hurts for the crews, who are hard working, and trying to better their lives and support their families at home. They have nothing to do with what is going on with the unrest in that part of the world. Many thanks to the Indian Navy for rescuing this crew. Condolences to the families of the crew members that were killed. It's a sad day.
Congrats on 200K subscribers.

Well done as always, Sal. I enjoyed the video despite all the bad news. Great respect for your great respect for the hard working mariners.

Good job Sir. I greatly appreciate your in depth analysis. I thank you Mr. Sam.

This is one more nightmare scenario that all the spouses and families of our merchant mariners live with every time they brave the seas. There are already numerous dangers involved ... but this one does me in. I just can't.
Is the Palestinian plight not a much, much greater nightmare? Please help stop the atrocities or be complicit.
@@george00110 these sailors were not complicit you freak
@@george00110Terrorizing completely unrelated parties makes most sane people think less of the "Palestinian plight," thanks.
@@george00110The difference is that the so-called "Palestinian plight" isn't fought by innocent civilians, but by jihadists and that's why the comment was made. You're trying to politicize a comment that wasn't intended to be political.
@@coachwendy5618 The first part of your comment is just plain drivel and not worthy of reply. Regarding the second part, the initial comment here on its face isn't necessarily political, it more or less is however given the context. The context is the subject matter of the video that the comment is addressing. One can't address that subject matter and just ignore the root of that subject which is the situation in Palestine. I can understand given the first part of your comment why someone ignorant like you might not feel for Palestinians but I care - not because of their religion or ethnicity but because they are being severely oppressed. If, in this context, someone wants to demonstrate their empathy by crying a river for a few souls navigating the "brave" seas, then maybe also show some empathy in the same breath for the Palestinians if you truly have compassion.

As you freely express your views using American English on American-owned RUclips powered by American-invented Internet. You need to leave modern American society if you're going to justify murdering innocent civilian sailors for no reason.
I appreciate your passion for this work. Thanks for the educational content.
Thanks Sal. Condolences to the families and friends of the crew.😢
Sal, my best maritime news channel. ottimo lavoro.
Sorry if this was demonetized. It was good reporting. RUclips needs to understand the difference between legitimate content with reasonable views and the junk that they promote.
Saw an article recently about what a leaderless mess Goog is. W0ke beyond belief, sane people who want to do a good job are ostracized.
Just, damn. Very good report, Sal, even though it's sure not anything any sane person wants to hear / see. Prayers for the injured and killed, and their families.
The world can not be free with free speech impeded. You are doing a wonderful job depicting the situation as you and many others see it irresolute of critics opinions. Great job !
The Houthis are undoubtedly just as aware as anyone else of the nature of the Liberian ship registry. The fact that it is located not in Liberia but in Virginia in the US is probably enough for them to make the American connection that they want. This presumably means that any Liberian-flagged vessel is a "legitimate" target as far as they are concerned.
It also seems that they have improved the terminal guidance of their missiles, and the problem of warheads failing to detonate.
Plus are they now concentrating more on shipping in the Gulf of Aden rather than the southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb? Does the Western naval coverage extend out into the Gulf of Aden, or are they concentrated in the southern Red Sea?
نعم انت على حق انت رجل ذكي وكلامك منطقي و الحوثي يفكرون ويعملون بجد لتطوير قدراتهم بأستمرار عملو على تطوير وتصنيع الصواريخ خلال أقل من 5 سنوات لقد بدأو من الصفر لديهم طموح وخطط لكي يكون من الدول المصنعة العظمى لقد تعلمو من خلال تجاربهم في الحروب لأكثر من 15 سنه يجب أن تصنع و تطور سلاحك و غذائك بيدك و تنهظ ببلدك في كل المجالات الاقتصادية و السياسية و العسكرية حتى يكونوا دولة عظمى لا يستهان بها و لا احد يتجرأ عليهم
It's translated this just a rehash of the code it's not important.
All their missiles are Iranian. So the Houthies are the test bed for a larger conflict in the Persian gulf. The west weak response only encourages them.
They have stated, after much speculation, that the attack on the TRUE CONFIDENCE involved a type of missile that they have not previously used, and that it is meant to mark a new phase of escalation. I believe that many of their ineffective attacks were not meant to be overly destructive, but merely to deter and harass ships without causing harm to the crews. Any ship with ties to the Zionist supporting nations that continues to traverse the Bab el Mandeb is now in much greater danger than they were up until this turning point.
@@mordechai8008 Indeed, just as the West's faltering support for Ukraine is encouraging Russia, and confirming Putin's view of us as weak and decadent.
In this world full of pain, everyone gets to feel a part of it. Sorry to burst any bubbles.

I have no connection to shipping, except an interest in current events and a concern for where world crises might erupt. I’m not even sure how I found this site, but I’m glad I did. I really appreciate your careful analysis of why ships do what they do and what that means to the rest of us.

you are the best source of news in this region. keep telling the truth.
Thanks Dianne!
Your assessment of this incident and situation is spot on.
These mariners were murdered. What would the world justice systems do if 3 tourists were murdered somewhere? Let's assume they are important tourists. Should there not be legal attempts made to prosecute the perpetrators? As a war crime? Or a terroristic crime? Or just as a 1st degree murder? Civil case? There is no official war so what now? What justice do the mariners get? Heartbreaking.
Tourists are murdered every day bro, all over the planet. Nobody gives a shit in general unless they're personally impacted.
The Houthis are acting in response to genocidal actions of Israel in Gaza. If the Israeli back off then they will stop.
How do these ships get insurance when traversing wartime routes? So sad that there is loss of life. Your report on cut communications cables scooped all the networks. Many had no idea about these cables. Great channel! Respect to the Indian rescuers.
Agree with you 100% Sal. This whole thing is getting way to serious! Sad that after all these years the population of this little planet still can't get along and develop some shared common sense. Sad that these totally innocent mariners lost their lives because of a bunch of BS and political influence. I served in Vietnam and my son served in Iraq and IMHO it was all BS!!!
Biden could end this with one phone call but the chosen path is BS for the rest of the world
Prayers for the crew members and they’re families.
Well, since it was a Chinese-origin cargo, maybe the Chinese will tell the Iranians to have boys lay off?
I think it was a mistake considering the ship turned around as per instructions.
Chinese origin and Chinese owned are different things. I would imagine that if it is being exported, it has already been paid for. If not is insured anyway.
You seem to be ignorant of that actual political environment.
We are in a very warm war environment between international Zionism and the brics.
@@AnarchyEnsues You neglected to say we also drink b@bies bl00d on Passover, and dance around in the light of a full moon.
International Zionism was made up propaganda in Zarist Russia. How would you like it if someone made up stoties about you ?
Apparently Iran may supply some schematics for propulsion but it certainly does not control domestic production let alone full control over diplomacy or military. Closure of this ‘Gate of Grief’ is costing China, Iran Djiboti and Egypt more than anyone. In the future, with China’s help both Somalia & Yemen can build man made islands to further stretch their territorial waters and establish an extended border & then build a canal to monetize this straight. Then we’ll see 20% increase in cost of shipping go to transit.
