Re: Yemen
Agree with you we never learn , absolutely nothing to do with the J**ish lobby in the USA & UK governments.
But sadly these Houtis need to realise they have no right to attack unarmed Merchant ships going about their day to day trade.
Maybe just send the Saudis more bombs , Iran will use Yemen as a back door into Saudi.

Re: Yemen
Like many on here I called into Aden on ships for bunkers, people poor as church mice. One dick on board tied a bum boats line to the stern rail as we left the anchorage, I want down aft when I heard shouting this poor burger was being towed along in our wake, I cut the line and gave him a wave, hope he didn't thing I was the one who tied his canoe up, he had about a five mile row back.

Re: Yemen
There was a story about in the 60's of some Yanks who went there.
Spent up big by all accounts.
But the cash they used were souvenir confederate dollars.
But the locals just saw dollars and did not know the difference.
