The US and the UK launched more strikes against the Houthis in Yemen on Monday as the US military named its new war against the Yemeni group “Operation Poseidon Archer.”
The strikes marked the eighth time the US has bombed Yemen since January 12 and the second time the British joined in. President Biden continues to order strikes after acknowledging they were not “working” to stop the Houthis, and the US is planning for an open-ended conflict.
A correspondent for Al Mayadeen reported attacks in several areas in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and its surroundings. The US and the UK released a joint statement saying the strikes were launched against eight Houthi targets.
“Today, the militaries of the United States and United Kingdom, at the direction of their respective governments with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, conducted an additional round of proportionate and necessary strikes against 8 Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the Houthis’ continued attacks against international and commercial shipping as well as naval vessels transiting the Red Sea,” the statement said.
The new bombing campaign has dramatically escalated the situation in the region as the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, are now targeting American commercial vessels, and many more shipping companies have suspended transits through the Red Sea. The Houthis have vowed they won’t back down and say the only way they’ll stop is if the Israeli slaughter in Gaza ends.
“No matter how much they bomb, our military operations against Israel will continue until the genocide crimes in Gaza are stopped and food, medicine, and fuel are allowed to enter its besieged population,” Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansar Allah’s political bureau, wrote on X.
In another post, al-Bukhaiti said the US and British attacks will “only increase the Yemeni people’s determination to carry out their moral and humanitarian responsibilities towards the oppressed in Gaza.”
Both the US and the UK have supported a Saudi/UAE-led coalition against the Houthis since 2015 in a brutal conflict that killed 377,000 people, according to UN numbers. Since April 2022, a fragile ceasefire between the Saudis and the Houthis has held relatively well, and the new US strikes risk shattering that peace, although so far, Riyadh has distanced itself from the operations.
For as many wars as we have the gov should use a standard naming mnemonic to make tracking easier for the American people. For example, the new Yemen op would be “Operation FEW XII, MMXX” or the 7th Failed Endless War of the 21st century.
Still, someone in the Pentagon marketing department did see that “Prosperity Guardian” was rather too near the truth -“Protect Capitalism”.
A standard naming mnemonic might help the American people to understand what is going on. We can’t have that.
Everyone should watch this interview with a Ansar Allah spokesman done by Max Blumenthal at The Grayzone:
‘Our goal is to stop the genocide’: Houthi spokesman meets The Grayzone
It’s a small group of people imposing economic sanctions for genocide.
“Everyone should watch this interview. . .”

Doesn’t the US president have to get authorization from Congress to bomb another sovereign country? Or are we officially a dictatorship under this Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. regime?
That scale broke in 2009 under Obama and his mentor.
Not yet, but once we are able to bomb and annex, we’ll have the whole package just like Russia.
That’s not how the U.S. rolls brah. We don’t get any land for our trouble all we get is more of our wealth transferred to the 1%. Well that and we get to satiate our bloodlust by killing helpless civilians. It’s the American way. If Russia waged war like the U.S. there would be upwards of 700 ka civilian deaths by now instead of ~11,000.
Im know very welll how the US rolls and im not your brah.
But Thanks for the laugh
Only a deranged neocon like yourself would laugh at the prospect of 700 ka dead civilians. You sick fuck. I guess that’s what happens to a person after the military warps your mind and forces you to be a party to atrocities.
See War Power Act 1973
I am still waiting for :
“Operation kill foreigners for Jesus and Israel”
or “Operation endless conflict”
or “Operation pointless conflict”

They have someone from Hollywood to name their misadventures.
Our goal is to stop the genocide
This is what gets you labeled a terrorist.
Who is a terrorist? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzhiPPq7Gak I appears that the powers that be are blockading the video. I hope you will be able to view. Somewhere….
Again I try:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb2z0XwMtH8
There’s another without video, but with lyrics, which are stinging, plus it’s just a good song:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb2z0XwMtH8
Yes, but I had saved the entire video to my library, now, I have to “sign in” or “create and account”. So much of “freedoms”. I was able to post the one with lyrics, but the one with the revealing pictures I cannot call up with out “signing in to verify my age”.
Yeah I know that changed recently .
The blame goes to Google (Alphabet). Back in 2006, Google purchased YouTube.
Also the US marriage of the security state and social media which has intensified.
The blame goes to Zionism and Zionist oligarchs attacking free speech in America.

We have a failed state kind of government. Who put these people there?
Who is really in charge?
The Owners are in charge, just as most of our noble Founders intended.
“The people who own the country ought to Govern it.”

Someone on MOA, I think Jane, posted this insane video of zionists’ solution for ethnic cleansing years back. It’s a video about creating an artificial island to plop Palestinians on:

More:
The Israeli foreign minister, Israel Katz, has suggested that Palestinians could be housed on an artificial island in the Mediterranean, according to sources at the meeting of EU ministers in Brussels.
It is understood that Katz presented a video on the concept to the 27 EU foreign ministers as an alternative to the two-state solution.
He told them the video referred to a plan made some years ago when he was a transport minister.
The intervention has caused dismay in Brussels where the EU representatives were meeting as part of a mission to lay the ground for a “comprehensive peace plan”.

Expect Houthis attacks also on commercial vessels of the coalition such as UK, Australia, Canada, Netherlands & Bahrain…!
The proxy war between the muslim mullahs and the christian capitalists continues into 2024 this will never end.
And, there’s NOTHING the American people can do about it when both parties are together on endless wars and the two parties are really the only choices because Americans want it that way. If they didn’t, there would be more viable parties to choose from. Americans are digging their own radioactive graves.
