They don’t care about winning or losing.

They war to enrich themselves.

The US seems to be losing everywhere. Syria ( US troops getting bombed), Iraq ( Iraqis vote to kick out remaining presence), South and Central America welcoming the Russians, Mexican cartels winning,…everywhere we turn we are seeing failure.

And, El Retardo is busy sending all our ordnance to his money laundering machine, Ukraine. Our troops will be sent out armed with slingshots next. Yeah, it worked for David, but El Retardo surely does not have the kind of help that David had.

We're not fighting; only the Houthis are.

The US/UK have been running bombing sorties over Yemen aimed at Houthi missile sites for weeks.

The fact that the US/UK military has been ineffective (and in UK's case incompetent) is a different story.

In response to these ragtag terrorists blocking a vital international shipping lane and cutting international communications lines, Biden is slobbering ice cream, the UN busies itself denouncing Israel and western imperialism and Western European nations are declaring war on their farmers in the name of climate change. The proper response would be to flatten parts of Yemen and cut off the head of the snake in Iran

Can you say: “Carpet bombing”? Of course you can....

That's what Joe's dogs did as puppies.

hey shoot their country in the foot. The hilarity is that they rarely mentioned Navalny until he died of a blood clot.
————-
The uninformed ( ignorant) believe he was killed even though Budanov ( the Ukie Intelligence leader stated ) he died of a blood clot…..he spent alot of time in Germany and was all vaxed up/ during Covid which we now know caused his blood clots.

They haven’t considered using drones shooting acid on the Houthis yet.

Winning means less business for the MIC. Less business for the MIC means less money going to the deep state.

Probably the number one reason DJT is being targeted by the deep state.

I just don’t call that fighting any more than Clinton’s bombing of a aspirin factory.

Clinton bombing the aspirin factory was a one and done show of force, not really comparable to the US/UK flying sorties over Yemen for two months.

If anything the Clinton strike was more effective at achieving the desired change of behavior as the Houthis continue to disrupt shipping/logistics in the Red Sea.

-btw anyone suggesting western ground forces in Yemen is seriously off their rocker.

Biden items and the democrats don’t want to win any war. They see America being kicked down as a victory for their marxist utopia.

The Houthis have said from the beginning that they wanted an immediate ceasefire in Gaza...let’s try that and see what happens.

You say “let’s” try that.

Who is the us it the “let us”?

The Israelis have everyone telling them to cease fire. But they aren’t.

Feckless Biden has been doing all he can to get the Israeli’s to cease fire. Sending Blinken over so much he just about lives there.

But Israel won’t until they think their mission is done.

Biden could try harder and threaten to cut off all aid, but the Israelis would pitch a fit and Biden won’t risk his reelection over it. And what if Netanyahu says, “Screw you Biden. We’ll just wait for Trump?”

If the Houthis feel that strongly about, instead sinking everybody’s ships and cutting undersea cables, get their a$$es up North and fight the Israelis over it.

No he hasn't. The United States vetoed two UN Security council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The United States is also providing weapons, ammo, and logistics to the Israelis...not to mention parking the USS Gerald Ford off the coast.

Stop providing weapons and support to the Israelis, support a ceasefire resolution in the Security Council, and see what happens.
