In 2009 Obama stepped up the, then secret, drone bomb program. Yemen was one of the main theaters for a covert CIA war. Back then, Obama was mainly targeting Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) It didn’t work and AQAP only grew stronger, but it did succeed in killing a bunch of innocent civilians, including at least one American teenager.
In 2015 things changed and Obama switched sides. We joined Al Qaeda in fighting the Houthis. In order to “placate the Saudis” the Obama administration backed their invasion, including refueling their fighter jets and helping to completely blockade the poorest country in the Middle East.
The level of brutality with which the Saudis conducted this conflict cannot be overstated, waging war on the people of Yemen for eight straight years, all with full US backing. Hundreds of thousands died.
This didn’t stop the Houthis who immediately jumped in the fight when Israel began its similar assault on Gaza.
The bottom line is that if all of that didn’t stop them, it’s a pipe dream to think a few tomahawk missiles will. We’re just killing people for no reason other than to feel tough. It was stupid and evil when Biden did it and it’s the same when Trump does it.
The good news is that the Houthis stopped their attacks during the ceasefire in Gaza, only to start again after it fell apart.
In other words, this is yet another cost of our policy to fund and arm Israel’s horrific treatment of the Palestinians. There is a diplomatic solution, but no military one, short of an invasion.
So Americas should decide what they want: A diplomatic solution or another catastrophic war in the Middle East. I like the first idea. It comes with the benefit of not murdering children.
🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱 You will see a lot of Zionist shills saying Iran "attacked" Israel.
Do not forget that ISRAEL STARTED THIS WAR when it bombed an Iranian embassy in Syria.
Under International law, any embassy in any country is considered territory of the particular country it is representing.
Thus, Iran is JUSTIFIED LEGALLY AND MORALLY in striking back at Israel, a country that has spent years engaging in terrorism against Iran, including assassinating civilian workers and scientists.
Iran showed remarkable restraint in trying to avoid this conflict: initially, it asked the UN Security Council to condemn the attack on its territory, something that would be taken for granted if it were any other country, but the Zionist regimes of the US, UK and France refused.
If not for the capture of western governments by the Jewish Zionist lobby, Iran would have complete support on the international stage for exercising its right to defend itself.

Oh wow, looks like Aaron Rodgers is on The Pat McAfee Show right now. Looks like @ClayTravis and all the lunatics don’t know shit about fuck about what’s going on with the show.
FWIW: This is the exchange between Harbaugh and Petitti. Nothing controversial. Harbaugh indicated he wanted Zinter to receive the trophy. Harbaugh and Petitti then shook hands.

After they are done cleansing Palestine they will start taking from another country
This is well known in the Middle East and one reason why they won't take refugees
Holy fucking shit. This is the single largest escalation in online censorship that has ever happened. Just outright suppressing normal political speech on completely false grounds.
