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.
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
Kids were killed but the chat leak was funny and that’s what has been the people talk about instead.
Imagine being the poor family, who is stuck living in Yemen because they cannot afford to relocate, whose kid has died by Trump’s bombing. Then all you see in the news about how they joked with emojis in chat killing your kid. “Oh your kid was killed in that emoji airstrike.” Tell me why the fuck you would grow up anything but radicalized.

We have to appeal to Republicans because they have the house and senate. They don’t care about bombings at all, but we know they care about successful war operations. It sucks, but it is the only thing working.

No one is surprised by America indiscriminately bombing and leaving 150 casualties.
Well, no one that has opened a history book is surprised, but tons of people are very very ignorant of the countless atrocities that the US has committed
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.
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.
They’re brown and poor and our country is deep in the arms trade.
The MAGA movement have no care about what the administration does, especially when it comes to non-americans in a country literally none of them coudl identify on a map. But if you show them “look how poorly this bombing was planned and carried out” then maybe they will listen.
Also bombing Yemen is a presidential tradition that every president in the past 25 years has done. Yes, Trump probably bombed them more in his first term than all his predecessors combined, but no matter what kind of president is in office, American’s are very normalized to hearing that the president bombed Yemen. And because they are generally just periodic attacks, it gets hard to keep up the push to get the government to stop because the answer is always “well, we’re done now anyway, national security reasons, bla bla bla.”
So instead Americans vote for candidates who say they’re going to get us out of foreign wars, which Trump knows to do on the campaign trail, and he talks about it more than any other candidate and people keep believing him, even though he’s lied before.
They leveled a building to hit 1 target
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.
So, exactly how far does Trump have to go for you to admit that “BoTh siDEs Are ThE samE” didn’t work?

So, you’re willing to kill 8 billion people and not actually save any?
By that logic, no one should have worked with the racist Americans and or imperialistic British to stop Hitler. We’d have all died under the Nazis, but you’d be able to boast of how pure you were.
So, you’re willing to kill 8 billion people and not actually save any?
You have entirely invented this comment.
Trump could turn the earth into a cloud of nuclear waste and it still wouldn’t be a justification for dems warcrime, idiot.
Literally the comment I was responding to. If you know how to turn the world into a cloud of waste without killing anyone, please let us all know.
They said the actions of the Trump don’t give justification for Biden’s actions. You said they are willing to kill 8 billion people. Do you see how you’ve projected a view onto them?
Republicans put national secrets at risk while bombing Yemen.
You: The important thing to say about this is that Democrats support genocide.
lol the dems have always supported genocide?? Can you cite a single source for that bold af claim?
Removed by mod
Okay, I’m not going to claim that US democrats are perfect but saying that they openly support genocide is extremely hyperbolic and undermines your argument.
The US has done a LOT of terrible things and both parties had a hand in it. I wouldn’t say either of them support genocide.
joined 2 weeks ago
straight up genocide denial
Checks out.
Hi 👋 go absolutely fuck yourself!
The democratic party under Biden almost uniformly supported to the tune of billions of dollars in weapons, the ethnic cleansing, of Gaza. This is with knowledge of Israel using systemic sexual violence, collective punishment, school and hospital bombings, killing journalists and humanitarian aid workers, utilizing medical aid outfits as disguises for secret operations, and targeting civilian infrastructure.
It is not at all hyperbolic to state the plain fact they openly support genocide, as openly supporting the actions in Gaza is openly supporting a genocide.
I think you can make a strong case that the US foreign policy in this region is garbage, and I agree with you, they’ve done terrible things.
But I still don’t think that they would openly support genocide. If they had, I think you would’ve been able to find a source for that.
Just so you don’t get the wrong idea here: I agree with what you’re saying but I disagree with the language you’re using. I think it undermines your point.
If you openly support, both verbally and functionally, an on-going genocide, you openly support genocide.
Just because they didn’t say “We want to genocide the Palestinians.” at a press meeting, doesn’t mean that they don’t openly support the genocide they were funding, blocking criticism for, and suppressing protest of.
Eh, I think id call it covert or something like that. Saying “openly” implies they like/enjoy genocide or something.

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.
Both are really serious problems in their own right, one’s just a little closer to home
Also, one is going to spawn more of the other and worse over time.
It’s not about the chat specifically, it’s about ignoring any sort of rules the government is supposed to be beholden to, and getting away with it consistently as they push more and more.

If the Houthi Militia do not want to be attacked they have to stop attacking cargo ships. No one should be defending the Houthi Militia unless you support killing innocent sailors for some fucked up reason.

No I support military responses to attacks made by militaries. The Houthi Militia are murdering innocent civilians on cargo ships that happen to pass by.

If the US doesn’t want it’s ships attacked, then it should stop arming Israel. No one should be defending the US government unless you support killing innocent Palestinians for some fucked up reason.

Many of these ships have nothing to do with Israel.
Why do you think the Iranian propaganda you are currently maintaining reflects the facts on the ground?
Removed by mod
No I want to protect the innocents on the ships who are getting murdered by The Houthi for no reason. These ships are not connected to the war or any party in that war in many cases.
What you are supporting is terrorists murdering innocent sailors to stop a war they have nothing to do with, why?
Removed by mod
Blowing up inoccent civilians is cool though? Fuck that!
No, it isn’t which is why it isn’t ok. that the Houthi are doing it.
Well yeah, if we let the bombs just collect dust, the manufacture’s shares might drop in price. Can’t have that, can we.

Yeah, but fuck Ukraine, Zelenskyy didn’t say thank you the 38th time. Also, boss and fuck buddy Putin wouldn’t like it. At least now they can use their bombs in support of their nazi zionist buddies. If only Ukraine was a nazi state, they would have gotten more bombs. Maybe moron Trump should listen more to Putin, he claimed the invasion was for de-nazification of Ukraine. That should motivate him to supply Ukraine. Who cares about the truth right? But I doubt his memory records anything other than golf.
