The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

If targeting merchant ships sailing through the Red Sea wasn't atrocious enough, the Houthis have additionally decided to carry out its threat to attack submarine communications cables connecting Africa, Asia, and Europe. Fortunately, though this move has seriously disrupted internet services, communications activities haven't been critically damaged.

Establishment-critical narrative

It's no wonder that the West and its allies are now promoting baseless claims that Yemen's Houthis have damaged underwater internet cables running through the Red Sea, as the pro-Gaza genocide Israeli-Anglo-American coalition has consistently failed to defeat a military thought to be weak. Western aggression, intended to deter the Houthis, has actually bolstered their operations.
