Reported for WHAT? I mean seriously, you have heard of that free speech concept right? Its kinda important here in America. Granted, if you are a progressive liberal, only you get to speak and those whom you agree with. Perhaps that is what you are going for?

I think being a bot or Russia troll would be against VolNation policy.

VolNation is a private forum, they can ban anyone for anything. Free Speech only applies to the government.

Your also naive if you think this place has free speech. I don't think this forum is monitored very much but create a screenname like FloridaOwnZTennessee and go to the Football forum and start posting about Florida's record against Tennessee. I can guarantee you the mods will ban you.

If the mods haven’t banned @lawgator1 for his ridiculous homerism and pointless muh trump! Thread creation, they won’t ban @Rasputin_Vol for being a Putin apologist.

Exactly - VN is a benevolent dictatorship run by the online overlord @Freak. As such, there is no "freedom" but what he and his henchman toady mods :p allow.

But this is not about VN freedom or free speech. This is about you wanting @Rasputin_Vol to be banned simply because you dont like what he says or agree with him politically. Its not "trolling" to simply put out a line of argument different than you agree with (or even think is sane).

I have no issues with banning people for egregious behavior at the whimsical caprice of our jackbooted power mad mods :p but for you to call upon them to extirpate a fellow VN resident simply because you dont like what he says, makes me think you have been watching too much MSNBC. They loudly decry the tools of authoritarianism while gleefully calling for their use upon anyone who does not mindlessly agree with them. Come back from the brink brother.

These are the idiots running the US. So the Houthis won't get a visa now that they are recognized by us as terrorists. Meanwhile, the southern border is wide open.

Swamp creature logic is pervasive throughout DC and both parties. Obviously Houthis shouldn't get visas and everyone knows the border should be carefully and legally metered. Their politics just override any sane logic.

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. As the late Madeleine Albright said, what's the use of having a military if we don't use it? Let's not try diplomacy or heaven forbid we push for a ceasefire in Gaza. No, we must bomb and bomb and bomb some more in order to save face.

Ansar Allah promised safe passage through the Red Sea to all ships not associated with Israel and the anti-Yemen coalition, specifically singling out Russia and China

Their spokesman Mohammed al-Buhaiti said the waters around Yemen are safe. For now, the vessels are not associated with certain countries, in particular the US, UK and Israel.

“ As for all other countries, including Russia and China, their shipping in the region is not threatened. Moreover, we are ready to ensure the safe passage of their ships in the Red Sea , since free navigation plays a big role for our country,” said the Ansar Allah representative

funny considering they have attacked 2 Russian ships and a Chinese ship within the last month. and more before that.

seems like they are following orders to only target certain countries.

Perhaps the Houthi’s want that smoke.

Probably drone swarms or something like that. Using million dollar missiles to down two hundred dollar drones will only last for so long.

Or perhaps from the inside using locals or TCN's with base access.

So they knocked out 3 launchers. I wonder how much that expedition cost the taxpayers vs how much those 3 launchers cost that they took out?

And in the end, this still won't stop the Houthi badgers...

At last you understand why the Ukrainians still fight.

Or, maybe you don’t…

Not so much lol.. we have Dawgs, Gators, Bammers ( and whoever we are playing) who regularly post, and not so complimentary and pretty antagonistic at times.. everyone either interacts with them or just ignores them.., it’s a pretty tolerant joint in general.. I’ve only had posts removed when I had cuss words lol
