Don’t pretend to be smart. The vessel was leased out to a Japanese company at the time of the hijacking. It is still an act of war, even if it was leased out to a neutral County like Switzerland, and the hostages area Filipino. I hope the Houthis have the money to make them whole. Do the Houthis carry terrorist insurance?
Do you know how much it costs a day to lease a ship? I am sure the Japanese company that insured them is not cheap either. Way to go, genius! Do you want to take back—-“They should be happy the Houthis didn’t shoot a missle at it. They are smart, they knew who they were targeting.” — Kind of makes you look stupid!
