It's usually when a weak regime feels forced to act that said attack can be loaded with unnecessary restrictions that create more problems than are solved...

We shall see...

Bombings...and very little info released by US or UK...heck, don't even know if FJB was even awake...

And thanks to the corrupt treacherous FJB regime and the wide open border and millions of undocumented God-knows what kind of filth running around...

https://rumble.com/v46k279-will-hezbollah-terror-cells-in-the-us-strike-following-bombings-on-houthis.html

...the concern over numerous sleeper cells throughout America cannot be dismissed!

As for this...

...we will have to see if Sundance's Moldova prediction is correct.  I think it a total distraction we do not need and should not want...again...like Ukraine, it is a Euro-Russia problem...we have zero need to be there and it will only deplete more resources and make us weaker which if I am yielding to my skepticism properly is probably what they want...

But, anybody who has been paying attention to the buildups from Romania to Poland since Ukraine began then it appears a reasonable speculation to see sh*t start in Moldova...

And as for the Houthi mess...we had peace under Trump...FJB fvcked everything up...

Always remember that!

...the sheer hypocrisy of the left bemoaning the action in Yemen in light of their Children of the Corn devotion to endless war in Ukraine is so rank the stank is unavoidable.

Reports of fresh attacks in Syria...

...which are going to happen anyway until all concerned are in Hell.

And the terrorist filth in Yemen still talking tough...

...yet to be seen if the chickencrap Saudis get sucked back in and if Iran looks to up their involvement...

And the FBJ sanctioned invasion of America has resulted in "anonymous intelligence officials" to sound warning bells over terrorist attacks in America...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/u-s-intelligence-agencies-issue-warning-about-potential/

...which is what the corrupt treasonous FJB regime wants to happen...   

And, stupidly...Blinken told others of the impending attack...

But what does this accomplish? From a military standpoint, it is unlikely that these bombings destroyed or damaged any Houthi rocket/drone/missile warehouses. Why? Because Antony Blinken briefed the leaders of Turkey, Greece, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on the U.S. plan to hit Yemen. What are the odds that at least one senior person in the know passed that info along to folks in Yemen? I put it at 100%.
 
So what? That gave Yemen time to disperse its assets or hide them in a secure location. I wonder if Shakespeare had Joe Biden in mind when he penned this observation in Macbeth:
Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/did-secretary-state-blinken-tip-yemen-us-bombings/

And I agree that FJB likely undermined his own authority for doing these attacks when he de-listed the Houthis from the terror list Trump had them on!

CBD gummies? wow. nice if true.

Sundance on Moldova?  The US state dept and admin is full of sociopaths. They want to do to Moldova what they did to Ukr while blaming Russia in most of the MSM.  Moldova is really poor. Transnistria is part of Moldova that has ethnic Russians and is protected by some Russian troops although I recall 80% are local ethic Russians.  Everything is OK until one group decides to attack the other.

I recall Robert D. Kaplan in Balkan Ghosts saying every hectare in the Balkans was once ruled by 4 different groups and each thinks they should again. Once the US arms some out of control group things get stirred up again.

Years ago US marines trained Georgian troops very, very well. then they attacked South Ossetia filled with ethnic Russians. Russia counter attacked and occupied for a while.  The citizens of Georgia threw out their president who got a US think tank job as a reward. IMO US state dept would like to repeat with Georgia and Moldova. I now wonder what rewards current leaders there and in baltics have been promised.

IMO Wolfowitz, Soros, Rand, and Brzezinski describe US foreign affairs doctrine pretty well. If any world power gets too big use existing dissident groups to degrade them. see Chechens  in the previous wars with Russia.  See how the US and others funneled money, arms, and crazies to tear apart Syria.

As I recall, Bald and Bankrupt visiting Moldova kicked off my current post USSR reading list. USSR oppressed people which I knew very well. They also protected people. Once weaker the US and others caused lots of harm. US would love to turn Georgia and Moldova into cinders to harm Russia.

[patentlymn]

I do not keep track of Houthis et al. I heard they were true believers and want to avenge or protect the Gaza residents. not like the more cynical arabs in other countries. Alex says US fired 100 cruise missiles  into Yemen.

I find it hard to believe that two such highly-trained operators perished boarding a dhow, we are NOT being told the whole story, not by a longshot!!! 

Was it one of the tankers and not the dhow?  Was whatever it was compromised by loose-lips Blinken?   

[patentlymn]

I heard they got hit with an 8 foot wave when boarding. One went in and the other jumped in to save him.

[Libertas]

I seriously doubt a wave and the sea caused two highly-trained SEALs to perish...we are not being told the whole truth...these are not run-of-the-mill folks playing outside their skill set...

Center for Middle East Policy   

Crafting a new policy toward Iran is a complicated, uncertain, and perilous challenge. Since it is an extremely complex society, with an opaque political system, it is no wonder that the United States has not yet figured out the puzzle that is Iran. With the clock ticking on Iran’s pursuit of nuclear capabilities, solving this puzzle is more urgent than ever.

In Which Path to Persia? a group of experts with the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings lays out the courses of action available to the United States. What are the benefits and drawbacks of airstrikes? Can engagement be successful? Is regime change possible? In answering such questions, the authors do not argue for one approach over another. Instead, they present the details of the policies so that readers can understand the complexity of the challenge and decide for themselves which course the United States should take.

...better be careful what they ask this horsesh*t regime to do!  They can and will eff it up big-time!  It is almost a certainty that this corrupt bunch will only make things worse or do something so weak and stupid that it encourages more action by these punks.

And, I know I am asking for a miracle...but how about GTFO areas we don't need to be in?  And, if only all that equipment and money they abandoned to the Taliban was diverted to benefit the Kurds we wouldn't need to be there at all, eh?

And about the map above...why with them embracing BRICS are we anywhere near the damned Saudis?  The others have support roles but Jordan, Syria, Iraq & SA we can GTFO!

And, IMO since this is foreign policy related, only DJT has a right to opine...everybody else ought to cool it.  And make note, Nimrata is all for FJB to do something pointless and stupid.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-says-significant-military-response-coming-iran-denies-involvement-us-troop

And note that the corrupt regime is stating the significant whatever is coming for the pro-Iranian militias...not the IRGC or anybody in Iran...

Whatever, watch them eff this up.

Update(1908ET): Public outrage and massive pushback has ensued after in a Monday interview White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre asserted that the three US troops killed by the drone strike in Jordan had died "fighting on behalf of this administration"...that is Biden, rather than America.

A Freudian slip...

[patentlymn]

Last I heard Jordan admitted the strike inside Jordan. Earlier they denied it.  "Tower 22" was some post overlooking a Syrian refugee camp.

I know little about military stuff. What would happen if Iran hit? IMO many people think US military is like 1991 and Iran is like 1991 Iraq. Neither is true.

Israel would love to drag US into a war with Iran. False flag anyone? USS Liberty.

As I said, their hands-off Iran bias means they'll spend millions of taxpayer dollars to blow up some camels and a milk plant and pat themselves on the back for a successful strike and within hours the Houthis will launch more low-cost missiles again...

Confucius say "Only the IDF can spank IRGC clowns, FJB can only spank himself".

ETA - See, I told you so!  Thank you, Sundance!

Obama and Biden like Iran.  Obama and Biden are facilitating a pro-Iran policy.  Obama and Biden don’t want to do anything against the interests of their pro-Iran position.  That’s the simple baseline.

As a direct consequence, the same U.S. intelligence community that proclaimed the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, now modify their prior intelligence to proclaim that Iran likely doesn’t have any control over the various terrorist networks they support.  As a result, Biden cannot conduct a retaliatory strike against Iran because Biden cannot prove a direct link to Iran.

Our intel agencies are essentially falling on the sword of ‘some people did something, but we can’t be sure.’ See how this works?
