Because it’s about sending a message. They’ve seen how popular this guy and his actions have become and are trying to throw everything at him so it puts off any copycats.

Oh, hey, thanks! 😊

PO-TA-TOES!

That last shot of the tail wagging!

A variety of reasons including, rather ironically, concerns about delays: https://www.politico.eu/article/why-australia-wanted-out-of-its-french-sub-deal/

No, I’m looking at the images and thinking that it’s not sunk. Which is what the Houthis are saying it was. Which is what the article is proving false. Which, again, is news not ‘copium’.

The better wording might be ‘British registered ship attacked by Houthi fighters, damaged and may sink’ or something. It’s very deliberately proving that the Houthi propaganda around its sinking is incorrect. That’s not copium, it’s news.

I mean, they’re not lying. It hasn’t sunk.

So? The trick is to keep developing the technology, not give up because it doesn’t immediately deliver unlimited energy.
