Yemen Defeats America

On April 28, the Truman was forced to make a hard turn at sea to avoid incoming Houthi fire, several U.S. officials said. The move contributed to the loss of one of the Super Hornets, which was being towed at the time and fell overboard. That same day, dozens of people were killed in a U.S. attack that hit a migrant facility controlled by the Houthis, according to the group and aid officials. Then on May 4, a Houthi ballistic missile evaded Israel's aerial defenses and struck near Ben-Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv. On Tuesday, two pilots aboard another Super Hornet, again on the Truman, were forced to eject after their fighter jet failed to catch the steel cable on the carrier deck, sending the plane into the Red Sea. By then, Mr. Trump had decided to declare the operation a success. Houthi officials and their supporters swiftly declared victory, too, spreading a social media hashtag that read "Yemen defeats America."

Comments

The NYT can't help themselves using the term "militants" to describe the Shia Houthis. Who are the Houthis militating against? Does the NYT call Putin's or Netanyahu's homicidal forces "militants?" Enemies of the state, in or out of uniform, are "militants," "terrorists," "Hamas," blah-blah-blah. I guess the 19th-century Sioux or Apache tribes would have been described by the NYT as "militants" too.

Before 2016, no one outside the Middle East except for UN aid workers knew what a "Houthi" was. Since 2016, Sunni Muhammad Bone Saws (MBS) has been using famine as a tactic against the heretical Shias (Houthis) who share the Arabian Peninsula with his predominantly Sunni Muslim Arab monarchy. So the Houthis became allies of Iran, Syria, and Lebanese Hezbollah because these co-religionist regimes helped them, hence we see Houthi counter-attacks against Israeli maritime or ground targets, such as Ben Gurion Airport. Then to help Israel, the US attacks the Houthis. US military casualties and economic costs far outweigh IDF casualties and costs, as we saw from Trumpf's latest waste of money, all paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer.

Below, the next generation of "militants" who will hate Israel, the US, and Saudi Arabia for starving and bombing them.

America is well on it's way to defeating itself.

Those Hornets didn't drown in the Red Sea by Themselves.
