The US is now officially a genocidal entity. Other than previously, when Native Americans got exterminated or black slave rebellions were put down, this latest mass murder is available for all to see in real time. Many US troops serving on the US Emperial vessels are black, bombing and killing their own kind in the name of Empire, modern Uncle Toms. A new script is required and we'll find out how far society can bend to support Capitalism and profits for the few. It's certainly not an easy 'sell', bombing a black third world country which is opposing an ongoing genocide while proclaiming you do this because of 'freedom of navigation'.

Difficult to argue against those facts!

Still Trumplthinskin is only the monkey doing the Overlords bidding. We should include all Western Governments/Establishments complicity. Worse still, Sunni Arab elements as the Wahhabists, Brits, French, EU and Israelis have been pounding Yemen for 15 years at least . The Turks right up there hidden in plain sight supplying stuff.

The target, Iran & Russia, all my adult life.

Is it a coincidence that these 2 countries hold 65% of the world's proven gas reserves? If you count South Pars (world's largest gas field) shared by Iran and Qatar), we're probably looking at 80% of the worlds proven gas reserves.

It's nothing personal that the west demonises/dehumanises both countries it's just that your resources belong to us like they did for a brief period under the Shah then Yeltsin.

For all the companies in the US, big tech, big pharma, big Blackrock, the most precious, protected by politicians one and all is EXXON.

The industrial wheels in Europe have stopped churning, my gas bill has doubled in a few years.

Trump says 'burn baby burn', America has more carbons than anyone, but that's dirty fracking, not inexpensive either due to speedy degradation of wells. Would be so uneconomical if oil was below $40/$50 where Trump wants it to go, Catch 22 right there.

Now that clean piped gas Germany was receiving at advantageous prices from Russia, in turn supplying the rest of the continent, they want for Free.

Come and take it Hans!!!

I'm seeing excuse making by Alex Krainer - Trump has so many enemies that he has to play their game, or else. That's scraping the barrel of rationalisations in my opinion. We're going down the same "drain the swamp" cul-de-sac as the first term. And then Andrei talks about Putin throwing Trump a bone, some initial concession on not striking energy infrastructure - hey, how's that working out; blaming clown zeliboba doesn't cut it. We've passed the point fake reform, the USS USA is now a sunk cost for the global majority (ditto the chihuahuas).

Excellent Pepe interview from Yemen

I had no idea about their culture, history, and their clear position that they cannot be beaten.

Nothing different including fooled voters about ending the Forever War.

Hatchet job to take out Hegseth, by the looks of it, while simultaneously signaling the Democrat party's political sponsors approve of the military activity itself - ie the putative reason is he's jeopardizing the integrity of US support for Israel. If they get Hegseth out (he's a tool, sorry), they'll bring in a more traditional general to run DoD, and try to regain some leverage over Trump hoping to reprise the power balance of the first Trump admin. What might happen tho is they'll just give that leverage to yet another Netanyahu appointee, rather than someone loyal to the DNC. Hard to expect any big-picture change coming out of this.

I agree Hegseth is way out of his depth and was a very poor nominee that needed to be rejected; I’m sure some R-Senator’s would like their vote back. I haven’t looked to see what’s transpired in the last 18 hours since I’ve been busy with my usual work and stil have more to do since more has appeared.

So tired of it. ALL of our wars have been illegal, either based on lies and selfish motivations or just plain unapproved by our elected representatives who sit on their hands except when those hands are outstretched for handouts from israel, American ZioJews, and the MIC. Forgive me for not being shocked into action.

As I implied today at MOA, the Signal Leak shows what passes for governance and leadership today in the US is a clown show. Imagine if during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK had had his advisors gather via phone conference call instead of in person in the Oval Office. Sure, these people are busy around the country, but there are plenty of secure communication centers (SCIFs) a short helicopter ride away scattered throughout the country that call participants could have spoken from via secure video. Something is lost in human communication via all forms of electronic communication—most of us have experienced this deficiency. In critical matters deciding to initiate hostilities, meetings need to be held in person. The Signal Leak illustrates that most of those intended to be on the call are no more part of the decision making group of this administration than was Goldberg.

Just a distraction from the truth that US and Israel are getting a good beating by Yemen
