Yemen - the forgotten war.


For many years (Since the Cole bombing) I have seen it as the war we would all have been talking about if the MSM was a bit more fair about where they report.

What we hear about is the war(s) they want us to hear about. But thanks to the internet, this war has been there to see the whole time, for those of us looking for it.

My take for a long time is that if there was one country we’d want to wipe off the map and replace with a US base and our own government, the first one on the list would be Yemen.

Iran is fighting as Houthis to control the Mandab Straight and thus Suez.

The secret is to disregard EU pacifists and carpet bomb Houthis to destruction. Kill Houthis, kill Iranians.

Agreed. I had Yemini students at a community college I taught at. They stood up and cheered when the USS Cole was bombed...and during 9/11

The Mideast was better off before we decided to fight a two front war in Afghanistan and invade Iraq which turned everything upside down. The tyrants that we removed via regime change created a vacuum of failed states,bloodthirsty factions and mass invasion/migration/colonization of Europe. The tyrants made things much more stable with the iron fist as opposed to what we have now with the Koran fist. I fail to see how things are better post 9/11. “We got Bin Laden” really did not amount to much.
