Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, April 14, 2025

The total cost of the US military's operation against the Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen is nearing $1 billion in just under three weeks, even as the attacks have had limited impact on destroying the terror group's capabilities, three people briefed on the campaign's progress told CNN. The military offensive, which was launched on March 15, has already used hundreds of millions of dollars worth of munitions for strikes against the group, including JASSM long-range cruise missiles, JSOWs, which are GPS-guided glide bombs, and Tomahawk missiles, the sources said. B-2 bombers out of Diego Garcia are also being used against the Houthis, and an additional aircraft carrier as well as several fighter squadrons and air defense systems will soon be moved into the Central Command region, defense officials said this week.

Israel ranked 6th on the World Happiness Index (WHI) and their country provides world class medical care for their citizens who are universally covered. The US ranked 24th on the WHI and American citizens are vulnerable to medical bankruptcy. Yet the US committed over $3.3 billion in foreign assistance to Israel in 2022. About $8.8 million of that went toward the country's economy, while 99.7% of the aid went to the Israeli military. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the GOP budget and the Global War on Muslims (GWOM) re-started that very weekend, mostly paid for by the hard-working American taxpayer. The Trumpf junta also endangered the US pilots flying these expensive, murderous missions by disclosing it on Signal. From 1992-95, the Bosnian Serbs massacred Muslims much more cost-effectively with small arms fire and artillery shells lobbed into Sarajevo than USCENTCOM and these expensive weapon systems. media.cnn.com

A troll on DR once asked me for the sources to one of my posts. So, for the rightwing trolls, here is my citation: image.pngaaa.com

The true cost of having money is just not worth it. I would hope people would care more about the innocent lives that are needlessly tossed into the wicked altar to appease the bloodthirsty genocide jaws of Zionism.

Trumpf bombing the (Shia) Houthis also does a tremendous favor to (Sunni) Muhammad Bin Salman whose inept army was unable to defeat them in the Yemen Civil War. Jared Kushner is making a mint with the Saudis as well. The LIV golf tournament at Trumpf's resort was to rehabilitate the Saudi image. Why else would Trumpf want the Kiev-Kremlin peace talks held in Saudi Arabia? Did Switzerland fall off the map or something? image.cleveland.com
