The Houthis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthis are definitely a nuisance with their attacks on international shipping. A warlike violation of the law. Still, it’s instructive that Nazi felon Donald Trump goes after a renegade band in the impoverished nation of Yemen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemen while bowing down before Vladimir Putin and collaborating with the Russian dictator in the destruction of American ally Ukraine.
Donald Trump has to wield his flatulent Big Stick somewhere.
What more likely place to brandish his Hard On than the hapless people of poverty stricken Yemen. Using the Houthis to threaten Iran https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran in reality is a fulfillment of Trump’s perverted need to show the world he’s a Man.
Trump is the fascist who avoided military service during the American aggression against The People of Vietnam alleging a “bone spur.” Trump wasn’t avoiding service because he opposed American aggression. He feared getting shot.

The United States will continue to strike Yemen’s Houthi rebels until they end attacks on international shipping, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Sunday.
“I want to be very clear, this campaign is about freedom of navigation and restoring deterrence,” Hegseth said in an interview for the Fox Business broadcaster.
The bully Trump assaults Yemen
“The minute the Houthis say, ‘We’ll stop shooting at your ships, we’ll stop shooting at your drones,’ this campaign will end. But until then, it will be unrelenting,” he added.
US President Donald Trump, posting on social media, also vowed to “use overwhelming lethal force” to end the Houthi attacks.
“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!” he wrote.
Trump added a warning to Iran, demanding that Tehran “immediately” end its support for the rebel group.
