      This is true and no one is mentioning this in the news. Meaning the media is helping to demonize the Yemenis here.

      Shutting down the red sea is a major escalation card for them to play now, if they have the hardware to do it after the US gets involved. The Suez Canal being shut down would add like 30% to shipping costs or something to go around Africa.
