This is the oil tanker MV Sounion burning in the Red Sea. About a week ago, Houthi terrorists hit it with several missiles, provided by Iran. The crew evacuated and the ship has been burning. As this photo shows, it has also begun leaking oil. It was carrying 150,000 tons of crude or approximately 4 times the amount of the Exxon Valdez.
And all of it is about to get dumped into the ocean.
Yet there is very little media coverage. There are no worldwide calls to take action. This is going to be a monumental environmental disaster due to the abject failure of the US Navy to maintain safe transit through the Red Sea.
And that’s why we hear nothing. Because it is very inconvenient for the US. This ecological disaster does not fit a narrative that helps those in power, so it’s simply ignored.
Pay attention to who covers this event and how. It lays bare what people actually care about whether it be the environment or their pockets.
