US Warplanes Pound Houthi Terrorist Camps in Yemen as SecDef Hegseth Promises More;
Trump Warns Iran

Trump ordered the airstrikes after coming in from a round of golf:

trumpordersairstrikes.jpg

Iran-backed terrorists and scumbag pirates in Yemen have been attacking shipping attempting to navigate the Red Sea.

The Houthi rebels attacked over 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors, from November 2023 until January this year. Their leadership described the attacks as aiming to end the Israeli war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The campaign also greatly raised the Houthis' profile in the wider Arab world and tamped down on public criticism against their human rights abuses and crackdowns on dissent and aid workers.

Trump, writing on his social media platform Truth Social, said his administration targeted the Houthis over their "unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism." He noted the disruption Houthi attacks have caused through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, key waterways for energy and cargo shipments between Asia and Europe through Egypt's Suez Canal.

"We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective," Trump said.


This is important, because if the Red Sea passage becomes any more unusual, global shipping will be disrupted and made much slower and more expensive:

Under former President Joe Biden, the U.S. and the United Kingdom began a series of airstrikes against the Houthis starting in January 2024. A December report by The International Institute for Strategic Studies said the U.S. and its partners struck the Houthis over 260 times up to that point.

U.S. military officials during that period acknowledged having a far-wider target list for possible strikes. While the Biden administration didn't go too far into explaining its targeting, analysts believe officials largely were trying to avoid civilian casualties and not rekindle Yemen's stalemated war, which pits the Houthis and their allies against the country's exiled government and their local and international allies, like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The Trump administration, however, appears willing to go after more targets, based on the weekend's strikes and public remarks made by officials.

"We're doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping," U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told CBS News' "Face The Nation" on Sunday. "That's the mission here, and it will continue until that's carried out."

Rubio added: "Some of the key people involved in those missile launches are no longer with us, and I can tell you that some of the facilities that they used are no longer existing, and that will continue."

Israel also launched its own airstrikes on Houthi-held sites, including the port city of Hodeida, over the rebels' missile and drone attacks targeting Israel.

National Security Advisor Waltz confirmed the elimination of Houthi terror leaders.

National security adviser Mike Waltz confirmed on Sunday that U.S. airstrikes "took out" multiple Houthi leaders in attacks this weekend.

Asked how the U.S. attacks this weekend differ from strikes under the Biden administration, Waltz said those "back-and-forth" strikes "ultimately proved to be feckless attacks."

"This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple Houthi leaders and took them out," Waltz said in an interview on ABC News's "This Week."

"And the difference here is, one, going after the Houthi leadership and, two, holding Iran responsible," he continued.

Waltz stressed the negative consequences that the Houthis have had on global commerce.

"It is Iran that has repeatedly funded, resourced, trained and helped the Houthis target not only U.S. warships, but global commerce, and has helped the Houthis shut down two of the world's most strategic sea lanes," Waltz said, noting nearly three-quarters of global shipping "is now diverting around southern Africa, adding to the cost of goods, disrupting global economies, adding to -- or shutting off supplies to the United States."

Hegseth declared that Old Joe Biden is no longer president and America would no longer "be nice" to terrorists.

Hegseth also promised "this isn't a one-night thing" and that the airstrikes would continue until Iran's terror proxies stopped attacking ships and American assets.

This isn't a one-night thing. This will continue until you say, 'We're done shooting at ships.'"

American strength hath returned.

U.S. forces hammered Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis again overnight, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowing on Sunday an "unrelenting" campaign to crush their Red Sea shipping attacks--already claiming 53 lives, per Houthi reports--until they fold.

Hegseth told Fox News:

"We don't want a long, limited war in the Middle East. We don't care what happens in the Yemeni civil war. This is about stopping the shooting at assets in that critical waterway to reopen freedom of navigation which is a core national interest of the United States."

"Iran has been enabling the Houthis for far too long. They better back off."


Trump issued a warning to Iran: From this moment forward, every rocket or bullet fired by the Iran-armed, Iran-directed Houthis will be considered to have been fired by Iran itself.

91 >> It is almost if . . . Maybe . . . A new war pops up when the last one is winding down. Funny that.

There is always a legitimate level of defense spending for active threats requiring direct action. That ain’t the forever war in AFG. Nor is it Ukraine. Yemen is typical of the ops we need to pursue in order to forward project force for aspects such as free navigation or terrorist states like Iran intent on sowing conflict and actively pursuing military engagement with the US through proxies or IW.

Jackasses like Massie think any level of defense spending, even on legitimate action I’ve mentioned is somehow a conspiracy to keep the defense industry alive. Because we all know that’s how Trump rolls. *makes jerking motion*

Yeah it is part of the Yemeni Civil war where the Houthis were the rebels overthrowing the dictator there, I forget the cat's name. The Saudis joined in at some point until they reached a ceasefire I believe.

The Houthis started lobbing missiles at Israel after October 7th and then started attacking shipping in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea. That's when the current problems with them started.

This will stop it, with less overall bloodshed than a ground campaign.

There are other precedents since then. Basically, you end up with a separation of powers issue and whether the issue is domestic or foreign (including war). Long ago, courts have decided the president, absent an actual declaration of war, have broad powers in foreign affairs and actions to defend the US and its citizens short of a declared war. On domestic issues, a lot depends on whether the president is acting by himself or with the additional power granted by Congress to address a situation. Firing officials will turn more on the president's article II powers to run the administration and those delegated by Congress. Invoking the Alien Enemies Act and ICE law, the president is dealing from strength to protect and defend the US and its citizens with powers granted by Congress.

Have to disagree with you, old chum.
Bombing did not break the morale of the people enough.

Bombing removed the power, supplies, manufacturing capacity, transportation nets, and was a very large factor in mis-allocating resources.

Think of how effective the Luftwaffe fighters and all those 88mm AA guns would have been on the Russian Front rather than protecting Germany.

Doctrine was to use the bombers. We could afford the losses, and made a statement that Germany will lose the war. We adapted just enough (by turning the fighters loose) to not have our flawed doctrine defeat us. I would have preferred all the talent sent to the USAAF to go into the line rifleman units. But those in charge did differently.
Bottom line: We made it work, and won the war without WWII level casualties.

Yeah, a successful conquest of the Middle East would stop the problem but it's not within our current ability, and I'm not sure it would be desirable even if it were.

The answer is this sort of stuff - essentially, policing sea lanes.

My worry is that the usual suspects want something much more comprehensive, and that Trump will give them serious consideration. This will be a test for him. I hope he doesn't get us in over our heads because Lindsey Graham's catamites are all fucked out and he wants to buy another six-pack.

B-52s, carpet bomb, dumb bombs of which we have plenty. Basically turn San'aa, ports, airports, etc. capable of receiving any inputs from Iran into dust. Then interdict smuggling trails from S. Yemen ports if such exist and declare airspace off limits to all air traffic.

394 By rights, this shouldn't really even be news. This should be a dog-bites-man story. Pirates act up. Pirates get shot dead like a mangy fox. Trade resumes. This is the way it's supposed to be. This is what we have a military for. This whole story ought to be an "oh by the way" on page 12, a week after the fact. That it is such a great big festering open wound for everyone to argue about is an indictment of the preceding decades of feckless, half-assed foreign policy that cared more about money laundering and the bleatings of greasy newsfaces and emotion-mongers than actual foreign policy.

They have a nearly limitless supply of energy. They could build huge desalination plants, irrigate thousands of square miles of desert, and grow all the food crops they need. But that would take brains.

A guy and his wife come out of a restaurant and see a dirty, drunken lout, totally shit faced, staggering around covered in puke.

The wife says "oh my gosh, honey, I know that guy! I used to date back before I met you. He proposed, and I turned him down."

The husband says "and, look at him now! He's still celebrating."

Brits could send some SAS. French could send more men. They might need to rent some assault boats.

Might be some good practice. At least they could use the Suez canal and have somewhat short supply lines.

I'm sure the Houthis will give them the occasional bloody nose.

Yep. Since time immemorial pirate nuisances warrant the immediate chop with no due process, no other considerations than a short walk off a plank or dangling from the yardarm. They are inhibitors of world civilization despite all the stupid romantic tales of them.

Difference in sheer scale. India has over one billion so plenty of smart people even if the average is about 74. Tribal N. Yemen, given something like a bell curve might have a small town (5-10k) with an iq able to comprehend cause and effect (125+). Few if any Nobel prize winners and familial marriages between cousins and closer will do that to a society. Same issue as Pakistan.
