    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.

    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!

    Scoreboard!

    opens a post with question in the title that is lamenting that news don’t give any real answers and focus just on “trump bad” story.

    all top comments are just “trump bad” and “all bad government” and has to scroll deep down to find an actual answer to the question posted.

    leaves understanding much better why news don’t focus on context and give just emotional side stories.

    Zero surprise.

    The dems have always supported genocide very openly.

    These memes about the “leak” represent the only principles that they have - violent support for the procedures of the status quo.
