President Trump on Wednesday claimed that the US’s daily airstrikes on Yemen have been “very successful” and vowed the bombing campaign would continue for a “long time.”
The US started bombing Yemen again on March 15 in response to the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, announcing they would reimpose a blockade on Israeli shipping due to Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza.
Since the Trump administration launched the bombing campaign, the Houthis have restarted attacks on US warships and resumed firing missiles at Israel, operations they ceased when the Gaza ceasefire went into effect on January 19. Despite this, President Trump claims the Houthis want “peace.”
“The Houthis are looking to do something. They want to know, ‘How do we stop? How do we stop? How can we have peace?’ The Houthis want peace because they’re getting the hell knocked out of them,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
“They want us to stop so badly… They’ve got to say, ‘No mas.’ But I can only say that the attacks every day, every night… have been very successful beyond our wildest expectations… We’re going to do it for a long time. We can keep it going for a long time,” the president said.
The Houthis’ message has been that they will meet “escalation with escalation” and that their attacks won’t stop unless there is a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli blockade on aid and all other goods entering the Palestinian territory.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that the American aggression will only increase the Yemenis’ steadfastness and resilience, and that the confrontations over the last few days were only the beginning of what will be a gradual expansion of defensive operations in the coming days,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Thursday when announcing new attacks on US warships and on Israel.
Trump also claimed that the Houthis are being “hit harder than they have ever been.” But from 2015 to 2022, the Houthis faced a brutal US-backed Saudi-UAE war against them, which involved a heavy bombing campaign, a blockade, and a ground campaign. Trump supported the war during his first term in office and vetoed a War Powers Resolution passed by Congress that would have ended US involvement in the conflict.
Trump said that President Biden should have attacked the Houthis, disregarding the fact that the Biden administration launched a bombing campaign on Yemen from January 2024 to January 2025. The message from the Trump administration has been that Biden didn’t hit Yemen hard enough, and Trump’s bombing campaign has been far more intense.
The Trump administration’s bombing campaign has taken a heavy toll on civilians, with at least 25 killed in just the first week, according to the Yemen Data Project. The leaked Signal chat that caused controversy this week revealed that top US officials celebrated the flattening of a residential building in Yemen, where National Security Advisor Mike Waltz claimed the Houthis’ “top missile guy” was located.
Good lord wouldn’t it be incredible if we for once didn’t have “leadership” so beholden to a foreign country? Let’s hope the eventual blowback on this treachery is unequivocal.
If the US is sending a second carrier group to the region, that's twice the opportunity for the Houthinese to send a carrier and a LOT of expensive aircraft to the sea floor.
Two times nothing is still nothing. The chances of Houthis successfully hitting and sinking a carrier is very small. And if they did, the USA would blame Iran for the supplying of targeting information.
The distance across the Red Sea is visual in some places. I'm guessing there are eyes watching from both sides.
So what? You think the Navy is going to put carriers into such narrow waters?
Carriers have never been invincible. Less so now with improved ballistics (countered, of course, by better intercept methods…)
Still, a kid can hope.
Nothing is invincible of course. But again the chances are small.
"Still a kid can hope" Are you hoping for the killing of US Navy sailors?
No, I want them to escape at the last second like ever Joe or COBRA member did when their vehicle exploded on the vintage ’80s “G.I. Joe” cartoon.
Whether the Gulf of Aden has sharks like the USS Indianapolis incident is well out of my hands.
Attacking without a stated goal and plan to accomplish the goal is a waste of money.
It's an American religion. It's all about the Benjamins, not the goal. That is the goal.
Borrow and spend.
Despicable Donald.
“They want us to stop so badly… They’ve got to say, ‘No mas'…"
I'm not a doctor, but, I'm REASONABLY sure that Spanish is NOT the official language of Yemen OR a dominant linguistic tradition there.
Someone should remind Final President Trump that not every country he dislikes is exactly like Mexico.
Mexico, Canada is all the same to him. Just crappy countries with crappy people. The worst part is that the people in the USA wanted this clown.
Well, 23% of the people in the USA did, anyway.
I believe you. Help me with this figure.
I supported Nobody and Nobody. I propose a new capitol for near Joplin Missouri close to the three state marker, Here is a map,

Why?
Closer to the middle of the country. Good freeway access, I do not believe the failed US government can be reformed. The slavish copy of slave powered Roman architecture is ugly and reveals the psyche of the current US government. For these reasons I advocate a new capitol for a new non violent nation.
And how many Billions would it coat to move it and what would be different?
And the majority of the people who voted.
By now the modus operandi should be familiar to the Muslim world. Bribe who ever you can in the Muslim world to side with you. Bully those you can to conform to your wishes. Bomb those who you can't and systematically isolate Iran from its allies in the region. Then attack Iran. Sounds like a plan. NUTS
Israel should bomb Yemen.
"There is nowhere in the Middle East" Israel cannot reach. There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people and protect our country, Israel P. M. Benjamin Netanyahu says. (U. S. News & World report, September 30, 2024)
USA foreign assistance (QME) ensures Israel has the military and intelligence capabilities necessary to maintain that Qualitative Military Edge.
They may as well – either way it's American armaments and American fuel and American tax dollars attacking a country that is no threat to America.
The British Empire was great at using 'lesser subjects' (Indians, Canadians, Newfoundlanders, Oyresh, Welsh, Scotsmen, ANZACs) to do its dirty work up to & including WW1. Why shouldn't the USA get return on its IDF investment and protect US airmen and sailors from harm ?
Uhhh, re the British use of others to do their fighting; not just through WW1, but all the way through WW2. Even today, they STILL recruit foreigners (primarily the Gurkhas) into their tiny little army. And listen to Starmer's language; the british will supply "leadership" and a "minimal number of troops"; the rest will consist, as always with them, of "WOGs."
The Gurkhas I met during the 1991 war seemed like pretty … focused … soldiers. The King’s Own Scottish Borderers were more fun to hang with.
Not saying they aren’t good soldiers; just that the UK has a long standing tradition of getting other people to do their fighting for them, often for cynical reasons. After they started forming regular regiments of highlanders, in the 17th century, one famous British General and Lord (whose name escapes me) made the comment that “the Highlanders are in all ways exemplary soldiers; inured to cold, and hunger, and privation; brave to a fault, and (here’s the kicker) their loss in combat can be considered a positive benefit to the crown”.
I didn’t mean to imply that you insulted their soldiery skills or ethics. I agree — empires love to turn the actual fighting over to those they’ve colonized. The British in particular, but it’s a habit of every empire to at least some extent.
Here's an exact quote, from General Wolf in 1751:
As a junior officer, General James Wolf had written to a friend in 1751 that he thought highland soldiers would be useful in part because it would be “no great mischief if they fall.”
II suspect their attitude has never changed, whether it be towards Scots, or Canadians, or ANZACs, or, well, anyone they can get to stop a bullet for them.
I hesitated to include WW2 just because WW1 was the most glaring example of callous indifference to Commonwealth fodder.
And f**k, if I had access to Gurkha commandoes, for gat-damn’d sure I’d recruit ’em. They’re SERIOUS badass.
Everybody wants to be a Mini Winnie Churchill these days. The current Empire is treating the Ukrainians in much the same way today.
bibi's going to prison for all his crimes too!!!
Their last effort to attack Iran was pathetic and they well know that, as does the Pentagon.
Yemen will continue to menace Israel no matter what Trump does. It's only a matter of time before they manage to sink an aircraft carrier and that will be the excuse to attack Iran. At that point no US troops in the region will be safe and the Straits of Hormuz will be closed. World chaos… just what Trump and his Christian Zionist disciples want.
It would be just like the USA to blame peripheral States for the direct actions of others.
I quote the 1984 Republican documentary film 'Red Dawn' : "Comrades… if a fox stole your chickens… would you slaughter your pig because he saw the fox ? No."
Wise words Uncle S.!…
I don’t mind being voted down but I would like to know why….Use your voice, if you want to be heard.
I'd guess the exceptionally exaggerated rhetorical threat indicates Houthi missiles are hitting home.
Your guess is wrong. Houthi missiles are not hitting US ships. Nor are they hitting Israel with any impact.
Your faith in the official line is touchingly mindless.
Personally I have no faith in the official line at all.
But until/unless I see actual evidence of the Houthi missiles successfully targeting US warships, I won’t have any faith in that line either.
So, why did you retail it?
I’m not sure what that’s intended to mean.
My mistake, … thought I was responding to Tim Burns. That aside though, unless you're a solipsist, even in a thick fog of lies, there's still the need to try to understand. Thence I interpreted Trump's latest "rain of hellfire" threat for the Houthis as essentially expressing frustration, that something significant was happening and he was swinging wildly and failing to stop it … ??
And your faith in silly Houthi propaganda is ridicules. A carrier task force has 10,000 sailors. And you think the government could prevent all 10,000 of them somehow reporting that the task force was hit.
The chances of sinking a US carrier is very small. First they have to find them, then get passed a multi layer air defense and hit the ship with enough ordnances to sink it.
Multi layer defense
1 Starts with satellites and AWACs detecting and tracking the firing of the Houthis missiles.
2. Fighters jets attack the Houthis' missiles with air to air missiles.
3. Escorts ships fire anti air missiles at the incoming Houthis' missiles.
4. Close support cannons on the escorts and carrier fire at the missiles.
5. Carrier and support ships fire decoys.
6 Carrier and support ships electronically jam the missiles guidance systems.
The best to get passed all this is to fire a lot missiles at the same time. The Houthis don't have that many.
I wouldn't think that finding an aircraft carrier, destroyer, etc., would be that difficult as the naval force tends to travel together. Also, I don't know if the Houthi's have obtained any hypersonic missiles from Russia through Iran or some other place but if that happens you just might find a U.S. ship at the bottom of the Red Sea.
It is possible for Houthis to sink a ship, it is just hard to do with weapons they have. And hitting a warship with a hypersonic missile is not that easy.
The most likely way to sink a carrier is low tech – a swarm attack by explosive loaded speedboats driven by martyrs. If they launch a few thousand at once, enough might get through to get it done.
A few thousand speed boats! Your kidding right? The assembling of an armada of few thousands speed boats would be detected and taken out way before they got to the target.
If they want to prevent it, yes it’s difficult. However, there is a good chance they do not and one just happens to sneak through, just enough to kill 1 or 2. That’s all they need for hell to break loose.
Wise words…
If they sink an aircraft carrier (I doubt they can), Trump will go for extermination – massive Napalm bombardment of all Houthi villages.

This is your rifle, this is your gun!
This for fighting!

I am slightly puzzled by your comment. Hitler made suggestions, started campaigns, or passed acts to keep his soldiers and other people as healthy as possible in preparation for his big wars.
Example: When Hitler became chancellor he ordered a big study into the causal correlation of cigarette smoking and lung cancer. In 1939, when he got the "yes" answer he ordered a huge public anti-smoking campaign and he forbade smoking by members of the "Hitlerjugend", "Bund Deutscher Maedel", and by his personal SS protection. No smoking on the "Berghof".
In the context of stomach cancer, Hitler declared "Nutrition is not a private matter" by which he meant that better eating was likely to decrease the risk of stomach cancer. To which he added "your body belongs to the Fuehrer".
Hitler and Himmler started a drive against drinking with printed announcements on the public, cylindrical "Litfass columns" in most towns and there was even a brief rationing of alcohol like in Sweden. The volume was always increased for Christmas.
Himmler believed that alcohol is a treacherous poison and Hitler stated that more lives were lost to alcohol than on the field of battle.
A mandatory smallpox vaccination throughout the German empire was introduced in 1874. It was continued under the Weimar Republic and under Hitler.
The polio and measles vaccines were not available during Hitler's regime.
Some of the concern for the health of German soldiers goes even back to Chancellor Bismarck who established the world' first social health insurance system for the entire population hence obviously for future soldiers.
I do not know what Mussolini did for the health of his future soldiers..
Why would our President want to lessen the health of our future soldiers? That is a valid question by itself which does not need a questionable reference to Hitler.
Are you insane? i mean literally? But i will not argue with an insane idiot since it 'll drag me down to your level and then keep me there, no thanks…
US life expectancy is declining and 75% of USers are unfit to fight. The US is therefore closer to the effective size of France and smaller than Mexico.

So far Miriam Adelson has been getting her money's worth out of a candidate that campaigned on promising to get out of Middle East wars.
Donald Trump enjoys bombing other countries until they say “no mas“! As a bully, that gives him a sensation of power. What a small man!
He seems to have the brain of a ten-year old self-centered brat who has daily tantrums. His so-called improvised policies are to promote colonialism and imperialism. What a step backward!
He acts impulsively like a bull in a china shop. He destroys everything that he touches.
He is isolating the USA from the entire world behind a wall of economic autarky, while sabotaging international trade that he has no knowledge about.
The Trump administration is really a rogue administration.
"autarky" cool word. Learn a new one today. Yes, trump is all what you said. The sad thing is that this was all known to the public, but citizens of the USA wanted him as President. This mess in on them.
Not everyone. Slow down.
The majority of the voters did.
28.8% of voting age people voted for Trump, Many of them were grand-parent types from the Vietnam era who went for Trump's message of peace.
28.8% of voting age people voted for Trump, 28.1% voted for the war monger democrat.
43.1% Voted for Nobody.
And then were those who weren’t allowed to vote — minors, in some places prisoners and convicted felons, etc. — who also voted for nobody.
The percentage is based on voting age people. Yes. there are adults deprived of voting rights as criminals, and many who did not vote were slothful or unthinking, for one reason or another. Perhaps scientific younger people with communication and computer tech will someday learn to take polls and from that establish a democratic voice along the line of Senator Gravel's vision. Next there will be exit polls to create analysis of what humanity wants to do.
In 2020's covid election they sent out voting ballots to every registered voter whether requested or not. What could go wrong?
" What could go wrong" Nothing. The 2020 election was a fair election. Only true nut jobs and stupid people believe that trump won.
“They” being the regimes governing California, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, and Vermont.
Of those five states, three were going to go Democratic no matter what happened, one was going to go Republican no matter what happened, and one was a tossup that could have gone either way and ended up going, with its six electoral votes, to the candidate who won by 74 electoral votes.
Thus citizens of USA elected trump knowing what he was. So what is your point?
Trump supporters add up to less than three in ten. I have met quite a few of Trump's supporters, Almost all of them looked like happy friends of my dear departed dad, There is in deed a corps of barbarian terrorists among Trump supporters, but they are a vocal minority used as fake news about the multitudes of Trump supporters, Once the grand-parent types figure out what is going on, Trump will seem small and alone.
Trump supporters were of the majority of the voters who voted last year. That is all that counts. The support for trump and his polices remain strong. Trump supporters had 8 years to figure him out and they did and they agree with him. The sad fact is at this point, Congress and the majority of Americans agree with his polices.
Still, no new wars. /s
Once they lose where do you think they'll start the next one since we can't go five minutes without a war.
They'll bomb Snohomish, or some place. Any place.
The Houthis should be eliminated
That's what the Nazis said about the Poles.

Trying to stop a genocide/ethnic cleansing/collective punishment/mass murder (take your pick. more than one is acceptable) is their point. But you must be relying on the MSM. It must be shitty in
UkrainePoland too. But sure "terrorists". That label makes anything the real terrorists, Israel, are doing acceptable. Never mind that what Israel has done in the last 17 months makes ANY of the "designated" terrorists look like choir boys in comparison.Did I ever say Israel isn’t committing terrorism?
Did I EVER?
You don't call them "terrorists" like you do the Houthis. So, by omission, yes.
No i have repeatedly called the Israelis terrorists as well
Ok, so the Houthis are fighting this Israeli terrorism of which you speak. They should be "eliminated" WHY then?
I don't recall you doing that.
Interesting.
You’re doing the same thing that Tim Burns does when he points out that you must be a Hamas supporter, since you don’t open each and every one of your comments with a condemnation of Hamas.
And that's all this commenter has to do is tell me that the Houthis are irrelevant to what Israel is doing like I tell Tim Burns that Israel's brutality is irrelevant to what Hamas is doing. And then I would point out the differences.
You support what they do, no need to name it.
Easier said than done, though.
Why, what have they done to you?
Candidate Donald Trump thought that bombing Yemen was "just a failed mentality" when then-President Joe Biden did it. "It's crazy. You can solve problems over the telephone. Instead, they start dropping bombs. I see, recently, they're dropping bombs all over Yemen. You don't have to do that. You can talk in such a way where they respect you and they listen to you," Trump said in a May 2024 interview with podcaster Tim Pool.

Obama 2.0
Obama had more style, he looked much better and more educated and competent than the orange man.
He was at least a mediocre president. Trump promises to be a total disaster, the biggest failure.
Bush 2 was the biggest failure. His actions ended the unipolar World order Iraq2 and Ukraine entry into nato were his accomplishment. I would ask anyone to show me a example where someone with such a winning hand end up losing it all
The unipolar world order never existed.
Ok then point out an article of yours that prove what u just said or point an article that that does that exactly. It has to be a long Horton style long article, not some short ones u generally write
Let me know how much you’re paying and I’ll consider it.
But unless neither the Soviet bloc nor the Third World ever existed, the claim proves itself.
I live in the socalled 3rd world and leaders would trample each other to be the first to lick US boots and USSR wasn’t around after 92. China didn’t do anything after their embassy was bombed in the 90s Russia was …ped for over 10 years during the same time. Almost everyone i read agrees( including in the alternate media ) that US led a unipolar world order for atleast a decade after the fall of communism.
Would u accept one ai generated thank you note?
I fear Trump/Musk will beat Bush and Biden.
Obama started the war on Libya and murdered its leader.
Tell them anything to get elected. Don the Con.
As long as it takes for the US to go broke and lose to a superior culture,

How pathetic that Trump is ending up as an Obama impersonator.
And two Bushes, a Clinton and whatever that husk was between Trump terms.
Aside from the sociopathy, internal logic implies one doesn't need to bomb a place for a "long time" if it's "very successful." You probably wouldn't spend 15 years going to the same dentist to work on one tooth.
The "getting of Greenland", which can only be done by military attack and permanent occupation, is still on the list of our President's war threats.
That "getting" seems to need a declaration of war by both houses of Congress by the minimum of one vote.
The only alternative is a "Cuba". A serious accident on our base.
To attack and occupy Greenland by our laws is not impossible and is probably quite easy. By international law (UN and NATO) such and attack would demand the protection of Greenland presumably by a stopping or attack or driving us out of Greenland or complete economic isolation.
So casual he says we need Greenland for our security and we will get it, we are entitled to it.
He is worse than the demented Biden.
Security from what? He still thinks Russia (or China) wants to take over the world? Or is he thinking like you-know-who did when he wanted to crush (and then populate with Germans) the USSR?
The megalomaniac could not say, HE just wants more, HE IS CHOKING and still does not have enough.
Trump in 2024: I fought the law
Trump in 2025: The law won.
It’s breathtaking to think a country with a national debt of $36 trillion and growing continues to roam the world starting wars and spreading chaos. This is not sustainable
And what is there to bomb in Yemen? Miuntsinside step farming and thousands of years old stone houses.
All military capability is built into mountsinsides facing Red Sea. Thiusands of square kilometers. Needles in haystacks.
Unless it is following Gaza script. Destroy civilian life to render military pointless.
Thermobarics could easily kill anyone in those mountainside tunnels and wreck a lot of equipment..
For certain fantasy meanings of “easily” and “anyone,” sure.
Thermobarics aren’t magic.
Destroying civilian life and property is what they call war.
They are getting ready for the war with Iran, while they made enemies wherever they go, that includes NATO. All that is happening because we have madmen and made women governing the Western so-called advanced democracies.
Trump and his cohort of incompetent, irresponsible and irrational people and the same insane criminals in Tel Aviv are our curse, they could start WW III. They are the most dangerous people on the planet.
Evolution is accelerating at an accelerating rate along with the accelerating expansion of Cosmos. Those motivated by war and empire will be flushed down the drain if they don't pull the nuclear trigger now. Very dangerous.
Trump & Netanyahu and their mad gang are the most dangerous people on the planet.
The previous president & Netanyahu were the worst until now.
I did not think anyone could beat them, but the Trump/Musk & Netanyahu teams did just that.
You're on the roll… Keep adding to the title:
The Long Time Bomber, Convicted Felon, Genocidal Peace President
Once again America has to pay through the nose because "their" government caters to a war criminal!
The people pay, the ruling elite makes the profits, to them it is business and power only.
Yep. All presidents are killers, and once they get the bug, well, there's no stopping them.
Trump was always a killer, he obfuscated pretending he wants peace when he really wants more money and power.
Trump may be bombing the Houthis harder than Biden did, but it is still far short of what would be needed to truly bring them to heel. Crushing an Islamic Tribe takes massive force, and inflicting death on an almost extermination scale – something Trump doesn't have the stomach for right now. So, hitting them harder may prevent them from attacking shipping much, but will only work as long as you keep it up.
Don't be afraid of Islamic tribes, just leave them alone. We are bombing one of the poorest countries in the world because it is doing something legal –trying to thwart a genocide? US shipping is barely affected by the Houthi blockade and they are only targeting ships going to Israel. What's wrong with that?
Israel, USA, two nuclear powers and 2000 pound bombs galore can't beat the unarmed, mostly women and children Palestinian people on a few square miles of beach front.
So heroic of pilots and drones to kill and maim thousands of unarmed civilians, mostly women and children and then act as if the killers are the victims. And to starve people to death, including babies, is so sickening, can the Israelis and Americans sink any lower than that?
It continues to horrify me that both of them, the worst terrorist entities in the world, unapologetically genocidal and boundlessly sadistic, have thus far never failed to find a way. This is their only claim to ingenuity, for in every other direction of their political, economical and strategical reach stupidity dominates.
They have not targets only ships going to Israel. Most of the ships fired on were not going to Israel. When Gaza attack Israel on Oct 7 the USA issued warning for other not to join the attack on Israel. Yemen did not heed that warning, so now they are paying the price.
Very sick thinking, very sick, with racist overtones, and shows weakness by hiding behind America. How can you accept what America says? Yemen has been there forever. Never heard of them disrupting shipping except after Israel broke the laws of war. Why is America bombing Yemen for blockading a genocidal state like Israel?

You have me mixed up with someone else assrah.
No I don't slick willy. I like to include commenters on news pieces to draw their attention to silly Israeli propaganda like the kind tim burns spews.
"Never heard of them disrupting shipping except after Israel broke the laws of war" BS. They have no right to fire on international shipping because of war between Israel and Gaza. And they have fired on and killed sailors on ships not owned by Israel and or not head or departing from Israel's ports.
If Houthis are willing to trade their citizens lives for taking shots at shipping and firing long range missiles at Israel, that is their decision. Israel and America would not have dropped a single bomb on Yemen, it they did not chose to fire first.
The US has alternated between dropping bombs on Yemen, and paying for other people to drop bombs on Yemen, for a decade. And when it’s not bombing Yemen, it’s murdering US citizens in Yemen.
In February 2021 Biden end US involvement in the civil war in Yemen. The US did not resume any action against Yemen until they fired at Israel and International shipping. The Houthis appear to be happiest when they are fighting someone.
“Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming! We’re finally non our own! This summer, I hear the drumming! Forget it Ohio! Forget it Ohio!…”
I thought Trump called this bombing campaign stupid on Timcast? Funny how things change once you're the one sitting in the chair!
Trump just admitted he is at war with Yemen…! How can he claim peace without a war…?!
He is insane and getting worse by the day and he is surrounded by people like him, Musk stands out, he is in charge of the presidency.
He's a tag along…!
Musk paid for his ticket. Both want to be # 1. Tariffs are bad for Tesla and Musk and the chainsaw is bad for Trump and government. They will go for each others throat. Musk might want to run for president, no third term for Trump should he live long enough.
Musk is ineligible to be elected president.
True, but he goes for the next best thing for the moment, he is co-president. Laws don’t mean anything to people like him. A coup will do.
…And Houthis say they keep sending the damaged aircraft carriers back to Virginia for repair For a Long Time…!
My country, America, is in deep, deep sh*t.
To think that more than 70 million fellow Americans voted for Mr. Drumpf is astounding and sad.
Boy, they sure "owned the libs", didn't they? Problem is they were "owned" as well.
Yales Professor Jason Stanley, who studies fascism is moving to Canada to work there. The Guardian and other tabloits carried the story. Here is the Guardian story: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/26/yale-professor-fascism-canada
That man is our president? He does not look, talk and act like a president with dignity and sense of responsibility expected from a president.
And that is what America wanted as their President. Does not speak well of America.
Seems like a lot like trying to start a campfire with a wet book of matches. Bombing here, bombing there, but nothing gets it going. What will it take for our Führer" to jump start World War III?
Not too much more from what I see. Have been in the hospital for 3 days and coming back seeing that he ahs taken on more power and more threats all at the same time. And Democrats cannot be a strong opposition with the same talking points that lost them the election in the first place.
trumpo the klown, war mongering fool
The problem is he is not a clown and millions think he is godlike. And with no opposition other than crazies from the Dem party we have entered into dangerous territory.
Trump has the mind of a 5 year old. His friend has a toy Trump likes, he wants it and he will rip it from his friend if he does not give it to him.
Little Donald owns everything, he owns the world. He is entitled to it, hubris on steroids.
Israel nearly owned the Biden Administration. Now, they own Trump, one better. And in DJTs own words, it's the art of the deal he made with the Devil.

Bombing is okay, talking about it is wrong

Senate Armed Services Committee leaders request Pentagon investigation of Signal scandal . . .The request is bipartisan, with the Republican chairman of the committee and the top Democrat on the panel asking the Defense Department’s inspector general to assess whether anyone in the chat transferred classified information, if so, how.

Why is it ok to bomb Yemen? What has it done to the US?
His Israeli bosses told him to jump – and he said How High?
Fired on US warships, shot down US drones, fired on international ships and fire missiles at Israel a US friend. It is not a hard concept to understand.
Those US warships should not be there as they act as accomplices to genocide carried out by the Zionist entity.
The Red Sea blockade is a response to the genocide, trying to stop it, as all parties under the Genocide Convention are obliged to do by International Law, as affirmed by the ICJ in the Srebrenica case: "..states have the responsibility “to employ all means reasonably available to them, so as to prevent genocide so far as possible."
The US warships are only there because Yemen is effective in trying to fulfill that ethical and lawful obligation to employ their means to prevent genocide.
That is the concept to understand here, and indeed the mechanics are not difficult, what is difficult to understand is the deep moral rot within the US navy necessary to actively support a genocide and protect the warcriminals committing it.
Especially if you ignore the 17 months worth of reasons why the Houthis did any of those things. But ignore you will.
"Shooting down US drones" is a good thing. They should ALL be shot down; it is beyond evil that the US (and other nations) send these robotic killing and spying machines over other people while their "heroic" operators sit in an office somewhere drinking coffee, immune to any repercussions from the people they kill. Still wishing the b@st@rd who "flew" the drone that killed all those children in Afg as part of our "righteous strike" face the consequences for that action, in Hell if not in this life.
What business do US warships and drones have in the Red Sea? Why does Trump bomb civilians, women and children in Yemen, what has Yemen done to the US?
They don't bomb Washington, they fight Navy, military people, or not?
They fire on ships doing business with Israel, call it sanctions, as good as any US sanctions or not? A bully crying just because he was punched in the nose makes him look silly and cowardly. Take your warships home if you fear they get hurt.
Trump won’t have much time until he figures out the Greenland situation… Ahem….!
wink, wink, nudge, nudge…
It’s medication time!….!….!
Well, more likely he is on his golf course where he does his thinking, if he ever does.
After reading most of the anti Trump anti American comments I believe that all you nut job liberal commies would be happier if we just gave Iran and anyone else that wants them all the nukes they desire.
After reading your comment, I believe that you don’t understand the difference between giving people things and minding one’s own business.
I don't think people realize how many there are who fell for Trump's con artist promises. I go to those sites just to see. The Democrats, instead of a strong opposition have become even nuttier than before when they lost the election.
It is because they agree with it all. Just never though public wll go along with the Trump Trotskyite fervor.
You know what they are thinking now — let him take a backlash if things go very wrong, and we can look saintly, win elections and normalize all he has done. If he suceeds -we can Out-Trump Trump.
They all want the same. As only banking sector decides, the rest is just a theater.
The naked truth is — they have run out available collateral to issue debt, without debt — there is no money entering the economy,
The interest they make on issuing Government debt — is not enough. Having. sucked productive sector dry by “investing” in the form of loans that does not improve an enterprise but reduces it to a shell – where to go now?
Well Ukrainian rare earths! Problem is Ukraine already sold it to many buyers. Brits including.
Now Grernland is promissing, and two Chinese built and financed Panama ports. What the heck — Blackrock suddenly finds itself with trillions of cash eyeung about 45 ports globally! What a buch of golden eggs to raid!
Now Russia has much to offer — but it will not be for free. And ofer them peace in Ukraine to get reduced price? They have Ukraine beat — so why wiuld they trade. What can we offer? That we can accept them again in those fabulous European cities? Acknowledge they exist? At this rate, thosr cities are becoming museums with natives getting rapidly poorer.
Starmer and Macrin want tbose young males out in the battlefield not let them foment a revolution. But that worked in 19 century when England could be immensely wealthy yet have starving kids in hedgerows. They did not have internet.
So where else to acquire more collateral against which to issue credits? Europe wants war against Russia, Will not really have one, but will keep preparing, until even this kind of credit line evaporates
From my
Democrats, Depublicans. Srarmer or Macron -all have same problem.
it has not bern that long ago that Trump complained about Biden almost starting a nuclear war, having all those wars of choice wasting taxpayers money and making us less safe. After a short start as a peacemaker in Ukraine and a cessefire in Gaza — he is back to warmongering. Big time.
He is yet another US president that will not keep his word. Ecxept for Biden, as neither he nor any of us can remember what his word was.
Iran has no nuclear weapons. Does Trump plan to destroy nuclesr power plant? It means contamination that will spare none of us, .
Are we really this tired of our good life?
Are we this foolish?
Iran is a major north-south corridor wirh all Eurasian countries having a stake in road and rail transit to Iranian Indian ocean ports. Tbis is a growing economic crossroads for Russia, China, Indiia, Southeast Asia, Gulf and all land-locked Asia. It does not depend on various straits. But it will make Levant irrelevant for major trade routes.
So, US to wants to destroy Eurasian trade? And how does this benefit US?
What a guy this pig TRUMP guy is, to keep Israel safe to genocide the Christians, Muslims & non Jews of the Holy Lands..!!! I wonder if China & Russia are O.K. on Trump’s act or if maybe (hopefully) they might tell Trump that maybe his life will be happier if he stops the bombing. Or expect unhappy surprises soon!!!
The Iranians need the nuclear deterrent, they face the two most belligerent brutal monsters on earth. Iran is no threat to the USA and Israel, both are nuclear powers and threaten to use the weapons. They are as evil as it gets.
Good job, Mr President. Just think of all the civilians we can kill!
Trumps a Putz!….
PPfffffffffftttttt!!!
