And as usual

 


New US campaign against Yemen's Houthis 

far more intense than under Biden

27 March 2025

 

that's not really what matters.


“Folks that say, ‘We’ll go in there and take out everyone with the last name Houthi and we’ll win.’ The Houthi leadership has been taken out in history in the past, and they are resilient,” retired US Navy Vice Adm. Kevin Donegan said. “They came back and they grew stronger. So this isn’t something that is a one-and-done.”

"Between March 15 and March 21, ACLED reported 56 events. The campaign has also seen the highest number of events in a week since the American bombing campaign began on Yemen during the Israel-Hamas war."

(Now were staring to get to what matters.)


Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, told ABC’s “This Week” on March 16. “This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple Houthi leaders and took them out.” Waltz has also claimed key members of Houthi leadership, including their “head missileer,” have been killed. The Houthis have not acknowledged any losses in their leadership.


(I said a while back

they were softening them up,

cause its almost go-time

for the real deal.

This is the last one of Irans

three "axis-of-resistance" proxies 

still in business so to speak, 

so of course all this is happening

right now.)


"The Trump administration is also allowing the US military’s Central Command, which oversees Mideast operations, to launch offensive strikes at will, rather than having the White House sign off on each attack as under Biden. That will mean more strikes."

(That I 100% agree with

you just have to do that.)


The US airstrikes have kept up a daily tempo since beginning on March 15. Meanwhile, the USS Carl Vinson and its carrier strike group are to transit into the Middle East.


That, along with the Truman, will likely give the American military two places to launch aircraft since it hasn’t immediately appeared that any strikes came from bases in other Mideast nations, where public sentiment remains strongly with the Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas war.


The US military also may be bringing additional firepower, as radio transmissions from B-2 stealth bombers and flight-tracking data suggested the US Air Force is moving a number of the aircraft to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.


Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC analyzed by the AP showed three B-2s 




parked Wednesday at

Camp Thunder Cove on the island. 




"Starting in 1990, the base saw another round of rapid improvement and expansion. US intervention in the Middle East resulted in the construction of two exceptionally long (2.3 mile) runways, heavy aircraft storage and maintenance facilities and a large fuel depot."


Back to original article:

"That would provide a closer location for the long-range bombers to launch that’s still far outside the range of the rebels — and avoids using allies’ Mideast bases.


And if you honestly think 

all of that activity? 

has to do 

with just 

The Houthis?

You should put away your crack pipe.

This is the warm up 

for 

what really matters 

coming your way soon.


CAUSE THIS IS WHAT MATTERS

U.S. Deploys B-2 Stealth Bombers Near Yemen and Iran, Bolsters Mideast Posture

Satellite images and open-source aviation data reveal that the stealth bombers arrived at a U.S. base in the Indian Ocean, as well as an uptick in military transport flights to the Mideast, amid U.S. strikes in Yemen

The U.S. is beefing up its military presence near Iran and Yemen, having deployed B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, a military base located in the Indian Ocean, satellite images and open-source aviation data show.
