What a way to show power! Bombing one of the poorest countries on earth.

That's the only type of country the US is able to attack. And the Middle East is the world's backyard for testing new weapons, right?

Trump: Hey Yemen, how dare you threaten Israel for violating the ceasefire agreement that we guranteed? Dont you you know Israel is free to tear up any agreement it wants any time? We decide what is right and what is wring. International law is only for the brown/black poor nations - not for the "chosen ones".

We can add Trump's name to the long list of American Presidents who are war criminals.

And who are the very definition of "Terrorists."

It should be acknowledged that the designation "terrorist" has lost all meaning since 9/11. When used by the US, Israel and the western colonial allies, the word is actually referring to: "any dark skinned (though could be any color, such as in Eastern Europe) people, preferably poor, peacefully living on land on top of oil fields, resources, strategic waterways such as the Bab-el-Mandeb, the Strait of Hormuz or the Panama Canal, etc. that the USI covets, but who resist (as is their right under international law) so that the United States of Israel is forced to viciously overwhelm and destroy them, especially civilians, fathers, mothers, children, the sick and elderly, with "the most lethal" industrial weapons, toppling their governments, stealing, raping and pillaging, all the while making gargantuan military-industrial-corporate profits at any cost and without a shred of conscience or remorse, and unenforceable international laws be damned."

Did I leave anything out?

Back in the 1980’s the CIA trained terrorists in C America to terrorize! One example, a Catholic nun working with the church trying to advocate for minimal land reform was abducted, tortured, gang raped, thrown. In a pit full of dead bodies, taken out and shot in the head and dumped in a ditch! Somehow she survived and was rescued! American foreign policy, something to really be proud of!!

No Liana you said exactly what all the international governments should be saying but are too frightened because they all bow to the dollar...that's all; it isn't because America is great or strong, it is because it was a vast and pristine landmass that was systematically pillaged by the nations of Europe mainly...uncontrolled greed and brutality "forged" this mistake of a nation. When I think of America I envision a huge lavatory pan that needs a massive toilet brush that only God could wield and great silos(such as are raised on the Great Plains) filled with powerful disinfectant! And when I think of Israel it is a paltry little artificial country resembling an 1880s spittoon that the Devil would like to spit in and obviously has! Bravo to all the decent pro-Palestinians who understand right from wrong whilst the brutal and cowardly ignorant refuse to admit that they are totally and utterly wrong. Even the dreadful suffering of children doesn't penetrate their callousness. They believed the decades old Israeli propaganda hook, line, and sinker. When people of colour rightly express the fact that they face prejudice they are attacked for "playing the race card" when the Israelis and many Jews have tried to deflect any criticism of them by inventing the term antisemitic...but If people are wicked, evil, or otherwise repulsive, it matters not where they come from...Borneo, Luxembourg, The Isle of Wight, or Argentina...call them out for the bastards they are! In an ideal world all the indoctrinated Israelis and Americans, indeed from any country that cannot see the injustices against the long-suffering Palestinians, should be sent to Trump's mates region; Siberia.

There are 2 ways to stop the Houthis, bomb them, which is typically not that effective or stop providing arms to Israel. Unfortunately, we have a "hot-head" calling the shots here and Netanyahu is grinning.

It should be beyond obvious that human life has no value to world elites. They just make up things to say. The only way it will change is anthropogenic climate disruption... and it is coming for us all.

I have nothing but admiration for Ansar Allah. Their growing military capacity to affect activity in the Red Sea keeps becoming more sophisticated & their solid solidarity for the people of Gaza is remarkable in the region. They have nothing much to gain yet they remain true to their principles & their roots of resistance to outside invaders. Mashallah Ansar Allah!

Thank you, Drop Site and Shuaib for this reporting! The singular US thought-process is that there is a military solution to EVERYTHING, since they lack the smarts to do diplomacy, and the client state (USA) will always support israeli expansionism.

Excellent tactical and strategic planning: Bomb Houthis (targeting civilians - women and children) and threaten not only continuing action but also direct threats to Iran, for similar actions. Was there any consideration that these two countries control critical shipping choke points - for Yemen, the Bab-el-Mandeb and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz. Very easy for both to simply blockade both chokepoints (both very narrow channels, drop a few ships into and very difficult to reopen) and bring energy shipping to its knees. Also, China has an outstation on Djibouti to further up the ante. Using the Trumpian meme - neither Israel nor US have the cards to succeed if the Houthis and Iranians up the ante.

Trump, like Biden before him, is a terrorist, targeting civilians including children with indiscriminate bombing. No matter what else they have done or do, Biden, Trump and Netanyahu will be known in human history as baby killers. They label those with the courage to oppose them as terrorists, projecting their human deficiencies on the defenseless people they attack, as psychopaths always do.

What can stop this insanity?! I voted for Jill Stein with full knowledge of what I was doing. I thought that there was a good chance that Trump would bring the Ukraine war to a halt, I knew he would do nothing for the Palestinians, but I couldn't support the Democrats in the face of such an atrocity in which they were complicit. We are in a soul-crippling world, maybe it's ok if we seek our own destruction, and leave the beautiful earth to the non-human creatures.

Don't think we won't be taking them along with us as we check out. Better we stop these so-called leaders and save all of us.

I'm as confused by this action as I was when Reagan called for attacking Grenada. There is no way this attack on Yemen civilians is not a war crime. New weapons? Sales pitch?? Competition with IDF?

You go Houthis. If Holocaust loving Nazi Israelis honored the piece fire agreementwith the Palestinians and moved to phase 2 the Houthis would also have honored their words. This is no honor in our agreements. So Russia Palestine and the rest of the world will not respect our word for many a decade to come. Hang your head in shame comrades; our society is so lobotomized to our progaganda.

One thing to note, the Houthis were only asking for the blockade of Gaza to be lifted! Not moving to phase two!
