The U.S. military conducted wide-ranging air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday, President Trump said.
Why it matters: It was the biggest wave of U.S. strikes in Yemen since Trump assumed office.

Driving the news: According to local reports in Yemen, numerous explosions took place in Sanaa around 1:30pm ET.

  • Trump said the strikes were aimed at "terrorists' bases, leaders, and missile defenses."
What they are saying: "Today, I have ordered the U.S. Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

  • Trump said Houthi attacks "have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk".
  • "The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective," he said, hinting that the strikes are part of a wider military campaign.
  • "To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON'T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!" Trump wrote.
  • The big picture:Trump said the strikes against the Houthis are also a message to Iran, to which he sent a letter earlier this week proposing negotiations on a new nuclear deal.
    • "To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY! Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won't be nice about it!" Trump stressed.

It is low key hilarious that he threatens just like the Iranians and North Koreans.

Only thing missing from this is a praise Allah at the end "To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON'T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!“

And if the world got 100% away from fossil fuels, we wouldn't give 2 shits what went on over there.
All those aircraft carriers and support ships could come home, or go protect Taiwan and the microchips the military runs on, instead...

we wouldn't even need to get "100% away"...just work toward getting to a point where our own domestic production would reduce our dependence on foreign oil

that would require 2 things: us population reducing oil consumption AND us domestic oil and gas not shipped overseas

unfortunately...suggesting either of those things gets you labeled a communist

So much for the whole, "Trump keeps us out of wars" thing.

Look, I don't really care so much about us bombing groups attacking American shipping. Assuming the explanation is accurate it is probably appropriate. However, you don't get to accuse other Presidents of starting wars for doing the exact same thing and then suddenly play "but this is different" when it is your turn.

So, buy a Tesla? Cool.

There are alternatives to Tesla, but you probably already knew that.

Yeah.

So essentially, “Buy EVs! But only buy the EV we want you to buy…because I care about the earth….but not more than how much I hate Elon. So buy the one made by the company who wanted nothing to do with them, but were forced to make them. Because…earth and shit.”

Well, not quite. Buy EV, but it would be better to not support the fascist guy who is also trying to steal your social security money.

A fascist for sure. I'm not sure he's a Nazi yet. They have to start setting up extermination camps before they can reach that level. I can't rule that out from them, though.

Yep. That is a point that was obvious in 1973 during the first oil embargo.
Damn, it takes some peeps a long time to figure shit out.

Did you give that much thought?
Think about reducing all needs for carbon fuels if you want your ancestors to have a more stable existence.
Or, don’t if you don’t give a rip.

About my ancestors? They’re already dead. Why would I give a shit about their stable existence?
