Wow. I am shocked the Yemeni military were not able to sink a US aircraft carrier moving with a group of military ships but were able to strike and cause fires on singular trade ships, shocked.
In both cases they were acting in opposition to genocide, so I hope they have better luck in the future.
The best defense is a good... encircling of potential rivals with disposable puppet states who prop up your inflated MIC.

Ansar Allah: 'did we fucking stutter?'
Yeah they made a really great game in the end. I bought it a couple years after release and loved it. I will be drooling over this one too but will be waiting for post release reviews.
Hmmmm.... a very tempting pre-order 🤔
Such smug confidence can't be wrong!
Wake me up when my pay has caught up to the last few decades of inflation.
Damn Jewish bolsheviks Russian interference threatening European whiteness. Same shit new century.
A player in my most recent session accepted an offer to become a vampire. I was settling in for a couple sessions of drama as I stacked more reasons for accepting the offer, nah, about 5 seconds in and they're ready for undeath.
Seeking to ease one's conscience by means of spending excess money is hyper-individualistic and conforms with a self-interested worldview.
The perverse thing is how neoliberalism has left people with the idea that they can meaningfully impact the world through deciding where they spend the pittance left them after their bosses and government warmongers have taken their cut.
If you give a shit about the environment stop believing the propaganda that market forces will be swayed by your hobby of guilt spending. It will be the hard work of organizing people and uprooting the financial interest who direct national and global policy.
I am not trying to pile on, genuinely curious about your perspective as a socialist.
I don't think many people around here have an issue with strategic voting alongside actual organizing and support. The way you worded your first comment sounded like uncritical support for Biden/Democrats in regard to their rail union 'achievements'. From later comments it doesn't sound like that is what you intended, but I am struggling to understand why they deserve any credit. Even from the article you posted, they removed the only actual leverage the workers have, then after significant public pressure, helped avert further unrest by convincing the companies to give less than 50% of the workers 3 or 4 days of paid sick leave a year. I don't see anything laudable here. (And for the absolute idiots, Fal@yifffit.net, I agree 4 sick day more gooder than 0 sick day).
It's just liberal bait, best to ignore them.
When rail unions were preparing for a potential strike, Biden made it illegal for them to do so.
Rail unions wanted to strike for better benefits, vacation time most importantly as the corporations had them working a lot of hours with virtually no paid time off. Part of 'efficiency' in the pursuit of profit, running as much freight, with as few train engines and workers also means greater wear on the infrastructure and less maintenance work being done. All this contributes to the more regular occurrence of accidents, some incredibly damaging to public health and the environment.
They got some minor benefit increases, but i don't believe much, if anything, related to their main complaints. And now they have no real recourse. The only credit Biden and the democrats should get is from their capitalist sponsors.
