Hmm. I wonder why they'd fire on a hostile fleet that sailed halfway around the world and that had basically already declared war on them. Particularly when said fleet previously implemented a blockade that caused a famine, which killed hundreds of thousands, mostly children.

How had the ship "basically declared war on them"? Why is the ship there?

If you fire on someone with a big gun, it should be no surprise when they fire back.

We blockaded their only port that supplies food for the winning side of their defensive war against Saudi Arabia, causing a massive famine and even Cholera to spread killing a fuck ton of civilians.

This is why our threats don't work. It's hard to threaten a population that you've already tried to genocide who then went on to win their war.

Saudi Arabia blockaded them, the US joined in but then left relatively early on.
