Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“In response to these crimes … the missile force and the naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower in the Red Sea,” the movement’s military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.

“The operation was carried out with a number of winged and ballistic missiles, and the hit was accurate and direct,” he added.

That would be rather embarrassing if the USA lost one of their most powerful weapons to an impoverished nation still recovering from a war.

Even just taking out some expensive and delicate equipment on a carrier is a victory. I wonder how much modern US navy equipment is actually more prone to damage than expected because the designers never expected an American carrier in the 21st century to do anything other than support an occupying army?

When you understand how a fighter jet works you realize that is literally the definition of a fighter jet.

Recovering from a genocide which the USA's client or proxy state, Saudi Arabia, was perpetrating using USA's bombs/planes/etc.

Hard to see why the Yemenis empathize so heavily with the Palestinians who are currently being genocided by the USA's other proxy state in the region... or at least it would be if you only listened to war mongers in MSM and from the US state department.

You would be correct. I recall Ansarallah's spokesman being pleased that they could finally fight the USA directly instead of being forced into a proxy war.
