BREAKING: President Trump just announced that the United States will stop bombing Yemen IMMEDIATELY, saying they have called and conceded defeat.

.@SecRubio on the Houthis: "This was always a freedom of navigation issue. These are a band of individuals with advanced weaponry that were threatening global shipping, and the job was to get that to stop — and, if it's going to stop, then we can stop." pic.twitter.com/rqWn7UWkdZ

Massive WIN.

President Trump promised to restore the freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, and he used great American strength to swiftly deliver on that promise.

The world is safer with President Trump in charge. https://t.co/Ol2uTZ4H92

This is not how President Trump would handle the matter. The attacks on the U.S. by the Houthis wouldn't be happening in the first place.

Biden and his regime are endangering Americans.

Biden Labels Houthis as 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist Group'

So it turns out the Biden admin reversing a Trump policy and removing the Houthis from the terror list was a bad idea. They’re now backtracking.

Top Biden spokesman John Kirby says they have "designated the Houthis as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group."

"Was it a mistake to take [the Houthis] off of the terrorist list back in 2021?"

Of course, it was a mistake.

There was no other way to address the humanitarian situation?

Why weren't the Houthis given "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" status on Day One?

Biden and his regime are incompetent dolts.

.@POTUS can’t launch airstrikes in Yemen without congressional approval.

This is illegal and violates Article I of the Constitution.

The people do not want more of our taxpayer dollars going to endless war and the killing of civilians. Stop the bombing and do better by us. https://t.co/PFYYoknib6

.@POTUS is violating Article I of the Constitution by carrying out airstrikes in Yemen without congressional approval. The American people are tired of endless war.

U.S. Airstirkes in Syria

A senior US defense official tells me "We can confirm that a U.S. military MQ-9 remotely-piloted aircraft was shot down while in international airspace over international waters off the coast of Yemen. U.S. Central Command officials are assessing the incident.”

BREAKING: Iranian backed proxies likely target of US airstrikes moments ago in Eastern Syria. Strikes follow 41 confirmed attacks on U.S. troops and bases since Oct 17 and the downing of an MQ9 Reaper by Houthi forces in Yemen. The US Reaper was flying over the Red Sea. https://t.co/bDks91LJkN

I guess we know that Iranian proxies can attack U.S. troops and bases dozens of times without a significant reponse.

So, our troops can probably expect another 20 attacks before the U.S. takes any action again.

The Iranians and their proxies know Biden and his regime are spineless.

Biden and the Democrats are stumbling and bumbling into World War III.

2 US F15s carried out airstrikes on IRGC and Iranian proxy facility in E Syria in response to 41 attacks on U.S. bases since Oct 17. Defense Secretary Austin said the target was a weapons storage facility, adding the U.S. military will take further action if attacks continue.

So we're on the same page today, the media lost their shit at a Wisconsin judge saying "asian food" and wrote off the President saying "Negro"

We have yet another hostage crisis. Iran is helping shore up the Jimmy Carter vibe of 2021.
