President says national security adviser Mike Waltz, suspected of adding journalist to chat, ‘has learned a lesson’

Well Obama didn’t have these glitches in 8 years, and Biden didn’t have these glitches for a combined 12 years, so if your level of success is only two months, you’re a fucking failure

    If I understand correctly (full disclosure, I may not) there are a group of politically motivated people that are using Yemen as a place to launch missiles at merchant vessels traveling to or from the Suez canal. As an attempt to bring attention to their political ideals.

      The Houthis are a Yemeni Shi’a extremist group. One reason for their “political motivation” is the genocide that the Saudis have been committing against all Yemeni Shi’as. That has gone on since MBS seized power in Saudi Arabia. The attacks on Red Sea shipping are a way of inflicting economic damage on Saudis and the West and internationalizing the conflict.

      Without the genocide, the Houthis would never have become so powerful or so murderous. Their rise is blowback from MBS’s attempt to make Saudi Arabia a regional imperialist power.
