US military strikes against Yemen's Houthis continued into their sixth day on Thursday, as the Pentagon and Trumpf junta had yet to fully explain what prompted the resumption of operations against the Shia tribe after months of relative quiet in the Red Sea. The last Houthi attack against US targets occurred Dec 2024 month before Trumpf took office when they counterattacked on behalf of the Palestinians who were getting slaughtered by the Israelis. en.wikipedia.org(2016%E2%80%93present)
Chuck Schumer allowing the GOP budget to pass last week opened the floodgates of hell. The Houthis had been targeting Israeli-- not US-- shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Trumpf is doing a favor to both Benjamin Netanyahu and (Sunni) Muhammad Bin Salman in Saudi Arabia who abhors the Shia Houthis. Trumpf's attacks are designed to solicit reprisal attacks from either the Houthis, Iran, or Lebanese Hezbollah (all Shia allies). If a counterattack causes US or Israeli casualties, Bibi and Trumpf have an excuse for a larger war. The US mainstream media (MSM) will be slobbering for a war to destroy the Muslims while DOGE continues picking the bones dry from US agencies. After the budget passed, Bibi re-started the ethnic cleansing in Gaza, alleging Hamas reneged on the ceasefire.
Transactional Trumpf will be getting something for this butchery (besides a media distraction from DOGE's rapacity). The Jewish-American vote in the 2026 midterm elections? Maybe a Trumpf Tower in Tel Aviv, with all the tax breaks during construction and afterwards?
An Israeli settlement in the Golan Heights was named after Trumpf. Eisenhower Hill and Washington Park are the other two locations in Israel named after a US president (there may be others): upload.wikimedia.org
