🇾🇪 YEMEN
🔴 WSJ: US Strikes Trigger Ground War Plans Against Houthis

🔸 US airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthis spur rival militias to prep ground attacks.
🔸 Goal: seize Red Sea ports like Hudaydah, cut Iran’s weapon flow.
🔸 UAE backs plans, coordinates with US officials.
🔸 US supports without direct involvement.

Second US aircraft carrier arrives to Middle East: CENTCOM

> A second #US #aircraftcarrier has arrived in the Middle East, the United States military said on Thursday as it continued its campaign against #Yemen’s #Houthis.

> The US Central Command (#CENTCOM) posted a video of #F35C fighter #jets being equipped with various #bombs before taking off the flight deck. english.alarabiya.net/News/mid

#trump is just posting videos of #warcrimes on his truth social page now.

He posted some drone footage showing a group of people in a circle, calling them #houthis planning an attack - in a very sarcastic and cruel tone I may add - that then got blown up, killing about 20-30 people.

Turns out it was actually a Yemini religious gathering: those people were innocent.

Our president ACTUALLY DID THAT.

We don't need #satire anymore guys. Our president is a comic book villain.

Apparently the #Houthis have been using #Tether's USDT stablecoin to do [whatever], because #OFAC just placed sanctions on a bunch of USDT wallets on #JustinSun's #Tron blockchain that they claim are connected to the Houthis.

Reminder that Justin Sun is Donald Trump's business partner in #WorldLibertyFinancial and #HowardLutnick manages Tether's money, so now you have a situation where Trump & co. are profiting from the same people they are bombing.

Agh, this is what came to my mind (with less details) when I thought how a petty psychopath might feel about some ragged rebels on the other side of the globe potentially making him look less royal....

"At least 6 bombers now at #DiegoGarcia in Indian Ocean, nearly a third of all nuclear-capable B-2s in #US arsenal;..."

... I very strongly hope still that the "nyclear-capable" is just a coincidence...

"Signalgate is an embarrassing exercise in ‘Mother, may I?’ journalism, revealing how the government’s convoluted system of secrecy has confused the press about what it can or should publish. The real victim here is the public.

No one involved in the Signal text affair comes out looking good. Not Trump’s top national security officials discussing an imminent U.S. military strike on a public app, outside of the secure channels that taxpayers shelled out billions to set up.

Not the rest of the government (including Congress) that can’t seem to explain or even understand the basic rules of the secrecy regime it put in place and is supposed to oversee.

Not Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, who explicitly waited for President Trump’s permission to report on the texts, even though the attack on the Houthis had already taken place over a week prior.

And not the news media overall that showered Goldberg with praise for deferring to the government while propagating the falsehood that publishing what the government deems “classified” is illegal.

This is how our democracy dies: in deference.

Goldberg has said he decided not to publish the actual text messages he received until Trump and his flunkies claimed they weren’t “classified.” In basing his decision on the government’s stamp of approval rather than on clear public interest, Goldberg smells more like a bureaucrat than a journalist."
