Previously: Shadow of Things to Come: Houthis Announce Successful Attack on US Aircraft Carrier I’ve been saying for a while that the US military establishment is not engaged with the issue of new technological developments, particularly involving cheap drones and missiles, and how these have changed the battlefield in the Middle East. I read through... Read More
Sanaa is eagerly engaging with Moscow in a bid to expand its astounding military gains into both the economic and diplomatic realms. While trade with Russia may be integral to blunting the effects of the siege of Yemen, Sanaa also views membership in the BRICS as a ‘golden opportunity’ to establish lasting Persian Gulf security....

The screenshot captured from a video released by Yemen's Houthi group on June 26, 2024 shows that a hypersonic missile is launched from an undisclosed desert area in Yemen. Xinhua Is this Iran's revenge? Is this how Iran pays-back Israel for bombing its consulate in Damascus in late March; by providing the Houthis with hypersonic... Read More

In June, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) released a report highlighting the impact of Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The report is a devastating account of Washington's failure to protect critical transit corridors in one of the world's most important waterways. The Biden administration's makeshift naval coalition, dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian,... Read More
Remember that time Joe Brandon said that you would need nuclear weapons to win a fight against the US government? It’s not a statement that was true at the time, and it has not aged well. The US government offered an unconditional surrender to the Taliban, men in flip-flops with AK-47s riding around in Toyota... Read More
Why does it seem the Pentagon is far better at spending money than actually putting together a successful operation? The failed “Operation Prosperity Guardian” and the disastrous floating Gaza pier are but two recent examples of enormously expensive initiatives that, though they no-doubt enriched military contractors, were incapable of meeting their stated goals. To great... Read More

The good news is the United States is calling for diplomacy in the Middle East. The bad news it is because it was bested by Yemen’s rebel Houthis. U.S. Special Envoy to Yemen, Tim Lenderking, bowed to the obvious and admitted, “We favor a diplomatic solution, we know there is no military solution.” Lenderking was... Read More
Previously: ZOG Admits Anti-Houthi Strikes are a Total Waste of Time, Failing Completely, No Solutions This has always been the Houthi position: “stop the slaughter and we’ll open the Red Sea.” Of course, due to media reporting, most Americans think they’re bombing these ships randomly because they’re “Islamic terrorists.” I’ve been over this repeatedly, but...

The Houthis say “We are not among those who fear America. Our stance is only for Allah.” You give me 10,000 white men with 120+ IQs who say “We are not among those who fear America. Our stance is only for Jesus,” and I will burn down the world and build a new one. CNN:... Read More
Cast your vote for best translation of Houthi slogan's point #4
The Houthi movement, more correctly known as the Ansar Allah, is effectively the official government of Yemen. Controlling territory where more than 3/4ths of Yemenis live, the Houthis have been targeting Israeli-bound shipping in the Red Sea in an attempt to end the Jewish State’s genocide of Gaza. The US response—bombing Yemen and killing Yemeni... Read More

Here's the question that every American should be asking himself: Is Israel's war in Gaza strengthening or weakening America's position in the world? If there is some material benefit for the United States, then there might be a reasonable argument for continuing to support the policy. But if there is no benefit whatsoever, then the... Read More
The breaking news that Ansar Allah (Houthi) fighters have fired on the USS Carney in the Red Sea today (Friday, 26 Jan.) underscores the shocking failure of the Biden Administration, which initiated airstrikes on the Houthis this month with no plan for “victory” beyond hoping that the mere presence of US warships would intimidate them...

For the time being, there are no official photographs of the meeting in Moscow on Thursday evening at the Russian Foreign Ministry between Mikhail Bogdanov, the deputy foreign minister and chief Russian negotiator in the Middle East and Africa, and Mohammed (Mukhameddov) Abdelsalam leading a delegation of the Ansarallah government of Yemen, known as the... Read More
The Arabic word Asabiyya, or 'social solidarity,' is a soundbite in the west, but taken very seriously by the globe's new contenders China, Russia, and Iran. It is Yemen, however, that is mainstreaming the idea, by sacrificing everything for the world's collective morality in a bid to end the genocide in Gaza. Yemen's Ansarallah resistance... Read More
“Sustained campaign” is the best ever euphemism for “war.” RT: Meanwhile, Yemen has promised not to thwart Russian or Chinese ships, while continuing to escala

The Biden administration is in the process of reimposing the 7 year-long embargo on Yemen that cut off food, water and essential medical supplies to the civilian population. This is how Washington weaponizes the "terrorist" designation in order to use famine as an instrument of foreign policy. The clear intention is to starve the population... Read More
You have to hand it to the U.S. and its henchmen for brazenness. In order to protect their client state Israel and its genocide in Gaza, the U.S., together with the UK, have in one week launched air and sea attacks on the Houthis in Yemen five times, referring to it as “self-defense” in their...

The first time I went to remote Yemen, this wild, mountainous nation was just creeping into the 7th Century AD. That was 45 years ago. There was only one hotel in the capital, Sanaa, and it was booked up with European businessmen trying to sell junk to the Yemenis. I had to sleep on a... Read More

Houthi Heart Tests World Zionism
The New York Times has just reported that the Pentagon launched a third round of airstrikes against the Houthis in Northern Yemen. Analysts appear to be in consensus that this will not deter them, nor is it possible to limit their capacity to undermine commerce to Israel in the Red Sea without on-the-ground engagement in...

China and Russia have been remarkably quiet, watching carefully the global tectonic plates shifting around in response to the ‘two wars’ (Ukraine and Israel’s ‘multiwar’). Really it is not surprising; both states can sit back to simply watch Biden and his team persist with their strategic mistakes in Ukraine and in Israel’s multiple wars. The... Read More

Not since Moses held out his hand and got the Israelites’ god to blow an easterly wind to part the Red Sea, has there been such a prodigious feat on that stretch of water. In the hours following the US and UK bombing and missile attacks on Yemen on Friday morning, the Kremlin ordered that... Read More
Late last week President Biden started a new US war on the tiny country of Yemen. US warships and fighter jets launched more than a hundred missiles at the country in a massive escalation that the Administration bizarrely claimed would “de-escalate” tensions in the Red Sea. Taking the US to war without a Congressional declaration... Read More
Welp. Al Mayadeen English: US Air Forces Central stated in a press release that airstrikes in Yemen targeted over 60 sites associated with the Ansar Allah movement across 16 locations. “At the direction of US Central Command, US Air Forces Central, CENTCOM’s Joint and Combined Air Component Command, executed deliberate strikes on over 60 targets...

How the Western Media Are Protecting the Israelis
From the minute after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the UK Maritime Trade Organisation (UKMT) learned that the oil tanker MV Chem Pluto had been hit by an exploding drone in the Indian Ocean 1,600 kilometres east of the Red Sea and Yemen coast (lead image, left), they also knew why. Through a joint... Read More
The Iranian intelligence vessel, MV Behshad, at anchor in the Red Sea, is a honey trap intended to lure both the Israelis and US Navy into an attack, according to Russian and other sources. The French and Spanish navies appear to anticipate or to know: they have announced they will not operate their warships in... Read More
