Luxon shockingly commits NZDF to America’s new Red Sea War
Jesus fucking wept!
On the very day America and the UK strike the Houthi again, Luxon has dragged NZ into America’s latest war by sending NZDF staff…
NZ to deploy 6 NZDF staff to Red Sea, PM announces
The Prime Minister has announced a six-member Defence Force team will be deployed to the Middle East as regional tensions continue to escalate over Houthi attacks on shipping routes in the Red Sea.
…it is hypocrisy beyond hypocrisy that we are bombing Yemen for the ‘Rules based order’ yet are allowing Israel to commit an immediate ethnic cleansing war crime!
Let’s be very clear, the Houthi are attacking shipping lanes BECAUSE Israel is committing a real time ethnic cleansing war crime!
If we want to safe guard the sea lanes, we should be demanding an immediate Israeli cease fire!
Instead we are enabling and supporting and now sending NZDF staff to bomb Yemen!
This despite all the analysis saying this is the wring thing to do and will only empower the Houthi.
Look NZ, I appreciate you are all still all on holiday time and the C Teams are manning the newsrooms and there is Golriz to shame for shoplifting, but FFS you stupid sleepy hobbits, we are getting sucked into a fucking war that none of us agreed to here and we are getting sucked into it because Luxon is an incredibly weak Prime Minister who can’t control Winston to the Left of him and David the Right of him!
We are not a fucking tool for America’s Military Industrial Complex! We should be demanding peace and an immediate ceasefire by Israel, we should not be enflaming this.
WAKE THE FUCK UP NZ!

From the linked article:
“He [Peters] added the Government’s response “should not be conflated with its position on the Israel-Gaza conflict.””
Yeah, right.
Anything to change the news cycle Martyn. He must be praying that people look at this issue rather than focus on his coalition partners and Shane Reti losing it.
They can’t wait can they first chance they get its off to war we go without debate
There is no need the USA could stop dumping shit loads of weapons into the ethnic cleansing war in Gazza and the Houthi will fuck off back to where ever .But Luxon and the two tin hatters have no fucking idea
The whole point of these proxy wars is to get rid of weapons near end of life,
to keep the industrial war machine’s cash flow pumping, and fund the research
into even more devastating arms
yep all about the arms race
Business as usual then, but with an extra spring in their step this time around
Shame. Shame. Shame.
Not in my name.
Attacking someone thousands of miles away from NZ isn’t defence, it’s simply invading one of the poorest country’s in the world brave enough to take a stand against genocide. Where in our charter does it say we should blow the limbs off children then starve them to death? And then murder those protesting this atrocity?
Why is it a “shock”?
Let’s be very clear, the Houthi are attacking shipping lanes BECAUSE Israel is committing a real time ethnic cleansing war crime!
Or is it really that Iran is financing Houthi separatists to commit terrorist acts because that’s what Iran does. It doesn’t care about innocent Palestinians any more than Hamas does.
NZ could have an independent foreign policy but always opts for minimum vassalage.
So what are the six soldiers going to do?
Flog some of that choice US gear man – we’re famous for it.
Yeah, lets join another American led misadventure guaranteed to fail.
Baldrick brown nosing Uncle Sam via 5 Eyes. This small yet significant military involvement will be noticed in all sorts of places. What will offset the damage to Aotearoa NZ is the active Palestine Solidarity Network headed by John Minto and other veteran and new recruit activists.
A truly revolting spectacle, Genocide Joe bankrolls the slaughter in Gaza, then attacks Yemenis with the courage to say “stop…”
well said and right on the nail .When was the last time the USA and NZ WON a war anywhere
When was the last time the USA led muppets win a war any where .Just more kiwis killed to make national look good for fuck all
I think attacking shipping was a poor choice for the Houthis, who have already a great wealth of enemies.
One might have hoped a mature NZ government could have come up with a more nuanced response – but that would have required a grown-up like Jacinda or Chloe, not a flaccid penis in a business suit.
