Even if that port doesn't matter the blockade is still taking the colonialist entity from being along the route between Asia and Europe to being at the tail end of a new and much longer route with smaller throughput.

Are there as many ships going there now that ships are in smaller supply and the nearby countries could all be served by Chinese/Russian or even their own ships going straight through the Suez? I don't know the numbers exactly but I doubt it's something they can just brush off.

I agree with you, but if Iran wasn't thinking much about having nukes they probably should take this as a sign of things to come if they don't get some. Unless they do act on this aggression, even if only diplomatically/economically.

How do fax even work in Japan? Is it kana only? I do wonder to what extent the use of such things there is because of the language.

The Houthis reaffirmed that they would keep "imposing a blockade on Israel-linked ships, preventing them from transiting the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until a ceasefire in Gaza is achieved with the siege lifted," said the statement.

I don't remember that part being said before but that is quite an important condition if they mean the whole siege including the sea and Egypt...

First of all, AI is a tool. But unlike a nuke the workers can have access to it, at least to some degree, allowing people to use it to deal with capitalists' AI.

The real issue is not only that AI doesn’t work as advertised, but the impact it will have before this becomes painfully obvious to everyone.

The impact on manual labor will take a while though (because it takes time to build all the robots that will be needed), so as everyone that can WFH gets automated forever all these people can be brought to our side to revolutionize society. It's eitheir that or hunger after all...
