Summary

U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen killed at least 31 and injured 101, according to the Houthi health ministry.

The strikes followed renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, which they say are in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

A Houthi spokesperson vowed retaliation, stating, “Our response will not be delayed.” Trump warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis, while Iran distanced itself from the group.

The conflict has disrupted Red Sea shipping, prompting the U.S. to redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization earlier this month.

    So first, nobody in America cares about the non-Palestinian Middle East enough for “some” to rally behind him just because he bombed some Yemenis. Second, you think Trump is ever going to be impeached? That’s wishful thinking with all three branches of government controlled by the GOP. Third, why the hell would the Houthis care about Trump or want him impeached? If anything an incompetent authoritarian twat like Trump is everything they could ask for. Finally, you want them to just munch on some popcorn while Israel starves Gaza to death?

      Your average American does care about the economy and price of common items, oil, etc, and Houthis bombing the most important trade route in the world directly effects that.

        America is already fucking itself economy wise, I’m not sure the Houthis are going to effect it much more negatively. And last time the Houthis were successful in their endeavors and will probably be again.

        That’s true, fair enough, but if Trump chooses to go down that route the Houthis will just become another scapegoat option for corporate greed, and he was never lacking for those anyway. And again, why should they care about any of this? Even if what you’re saying is true, that only works in their favor.
