Is it a coincidence that the world's foremost terror organization is being revived just as the US struggles under a multi-front assault on its hegemony in West Asia? More curiously, both ISIS and Washington's targets are exactly the same.
ISIS: US foot soldiers in the regional war
Last week, four years after the Iraqi parliament first voted to expel foreign forces, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani weighed in on the “destabilizing” impact of US troops and demanded a “quick and orderly” exit of those combat units.
Washington not only countered by saying it has “no plans” to withdraw from Iraq, but announced on 14 January that it would be sending an additional 1,500 troops to Iraq and Syria illegally, and without the consent of either nation.
One irony here is that ISIS appears to regain momentum each and every time Baghdad raises the issue of US military withdrawal from Iraq.

Well whichever way you want to spin it , it did not work and things are only getting worse
Whether it worked or not, or is or isn't getting worse, you're not qualified to judge from the sources you use.
I've told you this many times and will tell you again: what YOU get to see is a fraction of what our military sees and knows.
You are in no way a credible source of either information or analysis. Quite laughable really.
While that is true
But i we take only metrics that counts, how many ships traverse Red Sea and how many get hit
Well since the bombing started more got hit than prior and even fewer want to try their luck so by that metric its not working.
Because for Huthis to keep ships at bay all that is needed is an occasional missile or drone hitting any ship.Bar is pretty low
At the same time Huthis are getting more positive PR than ever.
Idiots like you would have predicted in 1942 that the USA would have been speaking Japanese and German in 1945
LOL like that fucking matters to us
But 2024 is different- BRICS is going to ultimately be a bigger problem than the West can imagine. The danger lies in thinking of things in singular superpower terms. The lack of an American lead multi-hemisphere consortium complicates things.
Among other things, this EV push has further distabilised relations. Why would the ME submit to the the UN while the wesfern world moves away from thier main commodity? They will associate with those who want their oil while they move to a more technology based economy. It doesn’t require a mental heavyweight to figure this out.

What about all the terrorists pouring over our open southern border? Surely that matters?
What about it? Completely unrelated
You were going on about some super secret shit protecting American interests... Somehow, In the red sea. But, it's too late because nobody protected our southern border from the same terrorists still flowing over.
There is no super secret shit going on in the red sea. The point is that some idiot like MrBR can not tell what is actually happening there by reading social media. Social media is 99% manipulation and the media shows you what they want you to see.
this is not a "new" story, i think.

Top UN court says Israel must take ‘all measures’ to prevent genocide in Gaza but stops short of calling for ceasefire
UN will push out a binding resolution that US will block. But the damage to Israel has already been done and will continue to mount as lawsuits will pile on . Some countries will enforce these rulings
The actual ruling might take years .this is just interm stuff.
But you know its no different to US supreme court issuing a ruling on xyz , it can't enforce jack shit . you could say or else what.
Much the same with the international court. While US will not care much in EU dilema on enforcing any ruling will be much more difficult to avoid ,france already said it will, and others that till now stood with Israel (Germany) will be forced to change tack and it seems actual lawsuits against countries supplying arms to Israel are already in works.
This will snowball.
Doubt it. More of your wishful thinking?
All those "actions" work against Hamas? How did they get the ability to arm and build tunnels?
International action by the UN/World Court is a joke and not a very funny one.
Will see in the coming weeks, but as mentioned most of the EU is quite likely to do a 180° due to ICJ,as will many other countries that no have an excuse.

From your link:
It called on Hamas and other terror groups to immediately release all the hostages they hold.
That is EU Commission call.
ICJ case was South Africa against Israel hence you see a ruling against Israel .
Surprisingly, only an Israeli Judge and one from Uganda were against any of the measures. Israelis really fucked up and should have called on Dershowitz and the Epstein list maybe could have coerced or bribed more than one Judge from Uganda.

First, my previous post was from your link.
The SA "Genocide" says only that Israel must take steps to prevent genocide in Gaza.
RE: ICJ
The court ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the genocide convention and also ensure that its troops do not commit any genocidal acts in Gaza.
Israel must report to the court within a month on what it's doing to uphold the order.
The decision is legally-binding, but the court has no way to enforce it.
What kind of "ruling" is this? No cease fire, which was originally in the SA filing.
Going to take a lot of work before this goes anywhere and you know it.

Yes ICJ as no way to enforce it .And Ruling is a soft as they get , only real part with a bit of a sting is prosecuting all those that spent past 3 months openly advocating genocide.
But now its open season for lawfare in regards to Israel , whatever was previously thrown out as Antisemitic or inadmissible on grounds X ,
Its not that countries will take steps against Israel (at least not in most cases ) it will be X number of NGOs suing xyz governments and companies in their own countries and those rulings will be enforced (not in US .but many other countries.)
Like i said will see in the coming weeks how lawfare heats up.
A federal court case filed against President Joe Biden and two U.S. cabinet officials for allegedly being complicit in Israel’s genocide against Gazans will move forward with a hearing on Friday.
The Stakes of the Lawsuit Alleging Biden is Complicit in Palestinian Genocide
The stakes could be both political and lega.
South African lawyers preparing lawsuit against US, UK for complicity in Israel's war crimes in Gaza
'The United States must now be held accountable for the crimes it committed,' says Wikus Van Rensburg, who is leading team of 47 lawyers and received support from US, UK for lawsuit - Anadolu Ajansı
www.aa.com.tr You can reasonably expect many such cases that now will be much harder for the courts to throw out.But wait for lawsuits towards the banking sector EU banks float much of Israel's real estate sector.
Oxfam Novib, PAX, and The Rights Forum are demanding an immediate halt to the supply of components for Israeli F35 fighter jets in summary proceedings. Amnesty International also contributed to the lawsuit’s preparation, with several other NGOs expressing their support.

The ICJ is a criminal court, much like the UN is a criminal political body.
The correct reaction is to eliminate both the court and all the lawyers. We should drone strike the fuck out of the ICJ and leave it a smoking hole in the ground when it's their next "court" appearance.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), an organization for Palestinian refugees, fired a dozen staff members Friday after Israeli authorities handed over evidence showing they allegedly were involved in the Hamas terror attacks on Israel on Oct. 7.
Oopps.
Egypt ain't getting paid either.some folks (mostly in europe) aren't going to get their shit, or it will be late coming.
and the panama canal is still fucked so there could be a supply issue soon.

www.flexport.com a buddy was supposed to bring his boat back through in december but they are only allowing critical shipping.
Everyone needs to think medium term along with the secondary effects. The supply chain is risking going to Covid levels. That means price (not monetary) inflation. While professors talk talk about decoupling, it is still a fairly synchronized system. The EU will suffer first, then everyone else, unless this gets fixed soon. The Panama Canal issue really puts sand in the gears for the US.some folks (mostly in europe) aren't going to get their shit, or it will be late coming.
i read that some shippers are paying as much as $3 million to get through the line of boats waiting.
Correct. That flows directly over a medium term (or short term depending upon your cargo) to your costs which ultimately impact the costs to your customers who cannot afford it because their CC’s are maxed out or the line of credit is getting to the same. If it was an isolated incident it would have a smaller impact but it is on the heels of the same thing during Covid. The price inflation is a killer for the consumer, especially with higher loan rates that were not present during Covid.
the panama canal is controlled by china. peanut face gave it to panama but chinese have moved in and can shut it down anytime they want. i don't really see them doing that. their economy is in trouble like ours and they need to keep things moving freely. am a bit surprised that they haven't intervened in red sea. they can get their fuel from russia overland so maybe they are just low profiling in the mideast.
They are engaged in both. The pipeline from Russia is going along well. But the Russian pipeline doesn’t get other commodities to the EU. Germany is in danger of going into recession due to this issue. Tesla has issued production delays in the EU due to it, and that impacts their production. It by far is not the only company. The Eu is at an extreme risk from what is going on.
no loss there. we should have let the germans have it all in1918 or the russians in '45. europe has been of no use or value to us since the mid 19th century. putin seems to have the sense to only want part-the russian areas of ukraine. the rag heads seem to want it and are in the process of taking it. let them. america has lost nothing in europe except about 1/2 mil KIA and billions of $ in "aid" in 20th century.
It seems'' fiery but mostly peaceful'' Huthi protests are still going on.
China and Russia aren't the only countries being given a "pass" from Yemen's Houthi rebels, Saudi Arabia is also exporting crude oil through the Red Sea as if in perfectly normal times (well, almost).

Probably fake news
If Biden flipped a coin he would increase his foreign policy decisions from zero to 50%.
