hit in Red Sea with deaths

In a note, global maritime risk expert Ambrey Analytics described the unnamed vessel as a Barbados-flagged, U.S.-owned bulk carrier, adding “reports confirmed the bulker had been struck and sustained damage” and “operations were underway with parts of the crew already in lifeboats.”

Oh no! Any death is unfortunate but one hopes that the only link to Bim is that the
owners found it useful to use the country as its registered location

How long are they gonna wait before they take out that rag tag army?

The problem with this type of wokeism in the West is pacifism!

You don't get it! The most modern of all military might are always challenged when it comes to attempting to eliminate determined guerilla warfare strategy.
Fallujah-It took Zacharia's wickedness to cause some of his own to turn against him and provide intelligence
Afghanistan-Both The Soviet Union and US could not eliminate The Taliban.
Current Israeli/Hamas- After 5 months of unabated evil and destruction Israel's aim of rescuing hostages and eliminating Hamas?
They've rescued 2 hostages of over 150 and Hamas is still fighting and Israel is hiding its IDF casualty count as well as destroyed equipment.
Military might is not enough to stop resistance and modern war machines can't cover nor enter certain crevices.

These guys not fighting wars like in the olden days - see Israeli army attempted it once and captured a few fighters at one of Hamas' hospitals!

You have to use trickery and guerrilla warfare as well as sophisticated weapons!

U.S. fought Taliban with kid gloves - at times you have to use overwhelming force to get rid of evil!
