An attack by Yemeni Houthi rebels on a Belize-flagged ship earlier this month caused an 18-mile (29-kilometer) oil slick, the U.S. military said Saturday.
“The Houthis continue to demonstrate disregard for the regional impact of their indiscriminate attacks, threatening the fishing industry, coastal communities, and imports of food supplies,” it said.
The Associated Press, relying on satellite images from Planet Labs PBC of the stricken vessel, reported Tuesday that the vessel was leaking oil in the Red Sea.
BP. Just to piss off that one dude that got upset when I said BP last time.
Lol I remember the burning oilfields of Iraq. To take one example. Of course the US are radical environmentalists haha
That was Saddam Hussein who did that anyway.
Trust me, the us government has done enough shitty things what without needing to make up stuff.
Lol , yea cause and effect you know. Want to take a look at just the environmental effect of the US warmachine? Like environmental effect been ever considered at any missile launch ever . Fuck off with the propaganda
Sorry… are you saying America forced Saddam Hussein to set fire to his oil fields?
Well let see we can of course go back to who put him in power in the first place… who was that now again?
I mean if we’re going to keep going back in time to blame cause after cause, blame the British for colonizing the part of North America that the U.S. broke away from. Or blame the Spanish for beginning European colonization of the Americas in the first place. Etc.
At some point, you need to blame the person who was there at the time and made the decision to do it.
Ok depleted uranium , agent orange… any specific example of the bullshit environmental stance you want? Hiroshima maybe? US is a fucking oil company with weapons. Anyhow I’m going to put the blame on the imperialist pigs that starts the wars.
So Saddam Hussein didn’t have any agency?
Fuck off with the propaganda
But it’s you that’s spreading falsehoods as facts.
Hey now, he feels as if those acts are true!
looks at instance
Yea, that checks out.
Yea fuck of bootlicker https://earth.org/us-military-pollution/ Buhuu they caused a oilspill in their attack wooont someone think of the children!
Do you even read, he agreed with you that the US doesn’t give a shit about the environment when it attacks. He just said your example sucked, pick a better one.
These kids are so used to being outraged, they no longer care if they eat their own. Just report them for being disruptive and move on. Lemmy doesn’t need this type of shit.
I thought the US military was the greatest fighting force in the world? How could this have happened?
What does the US military have to do with a Belize-flagged tanker?
Something about the US military bombing their bases.
So… nothing
