Trump blinked in failed war against Yemeni Houthis 

 

President Trump has a strange way of declaring victory in an undeclared, immoral criminal but most importantly lot war mainly killing civilians in Yemen.

 

Trump has been blasting away at Yemeni targets since Israel violated the January 19 Gaza ceasefire Trump negotiated with Israel upon taking office. That provoked the Yemeni Houthis to resume their attacks on Red Sea shipping to disrupt Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Trump then unleashed a massive bombing campaign upon the Houthis who had ceased their Red Sea attacks when the ceasefire began.

 

That not only didn’t stop the Houthi Red Sea attacks, it brought Houthi attacks on US shipping in the region. Did pretty good. Seven $30 million drones destroyed and 2 $64 million dollar F/A 18 Hornet jets sent to Davy Jones Locker.

 

Trump embarrassed and frustrated by the US losses and failure to deter Houthi attacks against Israeli genocide, threw in the war towel. “They don’t want to fight anymore…blowing up our ships, and we will honor that. We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated… we will take their word that they will not be blowing up ships anymore, and that’s the purpose of what we were doing,”

 

Trump’s comments were delusional. The Houthis were not blowing up US ships, they were inflicting drone and plane losses on US forces while continuing to disrupt Israeli commerce.

Trump completely omitted that the purpose of US bombing was deterring Houthi attacks on Israel Red Sea shipping which Houthis vowed will continue till a renewed Gaza ceasefire.

 

Houthi spokesman Mohammed al-Bukhaiti destroyed Trumps delusional blather stating “Our military operations in support of Gaza will not cease until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade on its residents is lifted, allowing the entry of food, medicine, and fuel. As for our attacks on the US, they fall within the context of the right to self-defense. If it halts its attacks on us, we will halt our attacks on it.”

 

This represents the second time the Houthis have resisted murderous US aggression against Yemen. Between 2015 and 2022, Yemen suffered over 350,000 dead from the Saudi Arabia war made possible by US jets, bombs, intelligence, and logistics But it was the Saudi/US coalition that blinked resulting in a ceasefire continuing into its fourth year.

 

Trump knows US military cannot defeat Yemen, Russia, Iran, China and whoever else he seeks to bend to his deranged will. But no matter how clear his failure is, Trump will always proclaim They have capitulated…and that’s the purpose of what we were doing.”
