Yemen is Trump's War Now, And The Houthis Are Fighting Back

The 'random' terror attack in disputed Kashmir last week has apparently brought the two nuclear-armed powers of India and Pakistan to the brink of war. It probably won't come to anything serious, but this isn't the first time a major international incident has sparked by a 'previously-unknown terror group in Pakistan'.

Meanwhile, in neighboring Iran, a gargantuan explosion at its largest port has gone largely unreported in the media - an explosion that looks remarkably similar to the one that decimated Lebanon's largest port 5 years ago. Hmmm, connection?

Meanwhile, in neighboring Yemen, hundreds of US missile strikes in recent weeks against Houthi targets have intensified to the point that Trump has arguably lost his claim to being the first US president since Carter to not have started a war.

The Houthis are giving as good as they've got, however, and what they've got packs a punch. Just how many US Navy ships have they hit so far? And have they sunk any? How many US sailors have died? Just as in the Ukraine, the Pentagon isn't saying anything, but for how much longer can it sustain the myth of American invincibility?
