Wonder how high Yemen ranks right now as pound for pound most influential country
Climate made them hardy. Neighbors made them warriors. Geography made them legends.
Wonder how high Yemen ranks right now
highest influence
highest elevation
highest on qatThey’d have the best income-adjusted “K/D ratio”, maybe after the 19 guys with boxcutters who did 9/11 (but that doesn’t count since it was
)
still in first place, but they’re gaining ground fast.Get Yemen an animation industry asap. Imagine an anti Zionist pirate anime where the protagonist helps shoot the anti ship missiles.
Shinzo Abe was irrelevant at the time he was killed though, wasn’t he? I give it to the Houthis
His death had great impact on how Japan handles the moonies/the cult he was in so definitely an outsided influence. Like the assassin actually got what he wanted out of it beyond a dead politician
thanks, didn’t know that
so Abe is connected to that Rod of Iron gun church somehow?
Yes. He has major connections to the unification church of which rod of iron is an offshoot
Thus far we’ve not seen any impact on air freight prices as it’s the post holiday low season without all the e-commerce demand that drove the high air prices in Q4. A 747 cargo plane can only carry around 7 ocean containers worth of cargo though compared to 10,000+ for the mega container ships, so it won’t take a lot of companies deciding to shift cargo from ocean to air for the air cargo market to become capacity constrained.
What a wild difference between the cargo capacity of the two.
Yeah and the broader point is an important one; it won’t be too long before the impacts of this shift are very obvious in the marketplace. The US is under enormous pressure to get things back to normal, but the guy in charge is more pro-:isntrael: than Reagan, so I don’t see any way that can happen.
At some point, shipping magnets all along the Mediterranean are going to start pissing themselves in frustration.
Also, can’t help but see the BRI guys feeling a little extra smug about their plane for overland transport through the Middle East.
There’s a reason why Reagan wasn’t willing to tolerate Israeli bullshit, and it wasn’t because of his deep love and respect for the Lebanese people.

I had actually forgotten that China’s belt and road initiative involved electrified freight train routes from China up through Russia or the middle east into Europe proper. Iirc there is also work to build routes from China deep into Africa to allow reliable trade of resources and goods without ocean going freight.
Years ago I was honestly surprised to learn that there wasn’t already a reliable freight train network connecting all of continental Asia, Africa, and Europe. That everyone was sending freight longer distances via ocean going freight traveling around continents rather than via rail in straight lines over land seemed so wasteful. Ocean going freight should only be necessary for oversized freight, island nations, or freight between the eastern and western global hemispheres.
Intuitively, boats are more scalable than trains so to some degree it makes sense. Today, ocean shipping is cheaper than over land.
China’s feeling extra smug because their state-owned shipping can still transit the Red Sea lol
There was probably too much conflict and war in Europe in the past for countries to build international networks like that
Yeah. I remember something about everyone intentionally using incompatible rail gauges out of fear that other nations would use trains for military invasions. It’s only been in recent decades where we have started to see a globally adopted standard rail gauge for freight networks.
China went from virtually no rail freight to Europe to a million TEU last year
there’s no way that israel is more strategically important to the west than the suez canal
They’re joined at the hip. The Israelis control a number of ports that load and unload cargo off the Suez. And some of the more notable Zionists are international shipping magnets.
Israel exists, in no small part, as a dagger to the neck of the Egyptian government, to prevent another Nasser from taking office. It is a means by which western states exert diplomatic, economic, and military control over the canal.
But the Yemenese aren’t threatening the Sinai Peninsula. They’re guarding the gates to the Red Sea all the way down by Djiabouti. That’s something Saudi Arabia was supposed to manage, and they’ve pooched it. So now the Americans are being forced to take a direct hand in a conflict that they’d invested trillions of dollars expecting proxies to handle.
When the Yemenis they closed the red sea
A call came on down from the powers that be
To adjust course immediately
Roll on north Umbria

but the boat is a Houthi missileSouth Africa could theoretically do some epic trolling rn
It would be cool if South Africa denied them permission to dock if they were bound for Isisrael, so they would be stranded, out of fuel as a form of karma and watch a city twice the size of Gaza - Durban, not be under siege and the dockworkers on the mainland once more relive their historic moments.
I don’t know, Isntraelis might take a lifeboat to the mainland and start killing every child they find out of frustration
South Africa in total doesn’t need to do anything, just need some dockworkers to take action.
If
was so good why isn’t there a 2? 2:I work in global logistics and the word just went out last week that container shipping prices have gone up from this.
Now all we need is for algeria to close gibraltar
As god intended
