Houthis are the only international actor acting in open military opposition to the genocide in Gaza. They are doing their best to enforce a shipping blockade pending a cessation of Israeli war crimes. The US obviously wants the genocide to continue, as well as all shipping trade through the area.
They’re brown and poor and our country is deep in the arms trade.
Because frankly, the leak is more shocking than the bombing. I have no knowledge of any regime throughout history that has done anything close to that level of incompetence.
The Signal chat “leak” was 100% arranged and intentional. Every person in that group was typing full copy-edited paragraphs like they were on reddit, not a chat room. They added one of the most conservative and compliant voices in the “liberal” press and somehow nobody in that small group noticed. And then he left to break the story as soon as he could instead of remaining a fly on the wall as long as possible like any real journalist worth their salt would.
Nah man, this was a little stage play to make this cabinet look like tough guys carefully making hard choices. To soften any public backlash against them bombing civilian buildings to rubble without congress even declaring war. I wouldn’t trust a damn thing that Jeff Goldberg pens.
And to be honest? If I’m right, this is maybe the most competent op that the Trump II admin has pulled off so far.
That’s because anyone who has been paying attention to geopolitics over the last two years knows why the US is bombing Yemen…
The Houthis, is a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaydi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe. The group has been a central player in Yemen’s civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians and using child soldiers. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The Houthis emerged as an opposition movement to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom they accused of corruption and being backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
They’re bombing the Houthi’s in Yemen because the Houthis have been launching Iranian missiles at ships in the Red Sea since 2023? Including the US navy (don’t touch the boats) and Israel. The houthis are currently holding hostage a number of crews of merchant ships
Hopefully this leadership is so incompetent that their stupidity like this gives some Ws to countries like Yemen. And by Ws I mean some of our terrorist in the sky dropping bombs instead drop into the ocean themselves. Kerplunk!
The MAGA movement have no care about what the administration does, especially when it comes to non-americans in a country literally none of them coudl identify on a map. But if you show them “look how poorly this bombing was planned and carried out” then maybe they will listen.
This is why the leak because people are talking about it which can be covered up and denied by the shitlords and not the actual attack, which is unjustifiable.
And people continue to think these people are “idiots” and “incompetent” for all these things that they do. All of this is carefully orchestrated and planned to fool the average person. Don’t fall for it. We’re dealing with serious, horribly evil people with a dangerous agenda to rule the world.
Because it’s sensational that so incompetent people are in charge.
The fact that sensation is the motivating factor for reporting is a problem
It’s not like there hasn’t been (and there isn’t currently) reporting that’s critical of US foreign policy but this kind of foreign policy has been going on continually for our entire lifetimes (and before) There have been protests and complaints. But in the end the vast majority of us care more about our daily lives than some kid in Yemen being bombed, especially when it feels like we can’t do anything about it. So we move on.
Obviously it’s not right but as a society we’ve all decided we just don’t care enough to do anything about it.
Launching a $2 million dollar missile and crushing a few children to death should also be sensational.
Unfortunately here in America that’s just another Saturday.
That kind of opsec violation makes being a US soldier so dangerous it’s stupid to every person with a brain who could possibly serve here.
The bad karma for bombing people who attacked one of our warships is nothing (because it’s fair if not brutal) compared to putting every single service member here in danger.

edit:
apparently it has something to do with a lot of world’s trade passing through the channel between the mediterranean sea and the indian ocean.
The bombing of Yemen is bipartisan…
You know something’s bad when both of our wreched parties support it.
Anything to keep israel happy is bipartisan.
Then you wonder why that the case? If they are right now publicly intervening in US politics, what have they done in the past and what leverage do they have over these public figure?
Israel is just a US proxy
Because Yemen is ruled by murderous terrorist slavers who attacked us first.
Because
YemenAmerica is ruled by murderous terrorist slavers who attacked us first.Does not even make sense.
