They did show them: Corrupt government with ineffecient bureaucracies focused on giving money to an old boys club rather than do what the government ostensibly claims it exists to do.
Clarifyer: I know you're referring to that dumbass redditor joke, I just felt like being cheeky
It's just a Tactical Withdrawal until they come back with giant robots and laser guns, then we'll show those [redacted] what for!
Saw the title and thought this was about the stranded astronauts.
The hits keep comin and they don't stop comin-
That one cool astronaut that uses Hexbear and .ml woke up this morning feeling groggy, having the previous night raided the emergency medicine cabinent for fun drugs while waiting for mission control to come up with a fix. They slept like shit, their still tired, still dissociating about the thought of whether or not this worsening incident will be the worst disaster in spaceflight history. Whether this is the thing that ends their lives.
They saw this thread, and clicked on it, their eyes wide and awash with hope that Boeing figured it out while they were asleep. That somehow the news got to them through Hexbear first. The ship is coming home! We're getting off this piece of shit station. We get to say goodbye to breathing this shitty recycled air that smells like a mixture of all the worst smells you associate with your some of your coworkers.

Oh, I'm still in a life threatening ongoing emergency alongside all my astronaut and cosmonaut friends. We may still die yet! It's actually just the genocide ship going home, the genocide sailors are getting a bit tired of doing genocide, so they're taking a break from all this helping to do a genocide stuff.
"...following unprovoked attacks on innocent mariners by Iranian-backed Houthis," Central Command added.
Maybe they just felt like it. I bet they also didn't offer any warnings or demands that would lead to them stopping those unprovoked attacks.
Let me guess: time for some expensive "refiting" and "inspections" that will take more than a year that have nothing to do with some hypothetical damage the Ansarallah may have caused.
