As long as the Trump administration supplies the IDF with the hardware needed, the IAF can slowly but surely degrade the houthis..see Hezbollah. After every ballistic missile fired at Israel, everything under Houthi control should be on the table, all the power plants, govt buildings, fake hospitals etc. The US Navy and Air force has already done plenty.

Re: the Big Story, you leave out an important element with regard to the Houthi campaign, that our Pentagon, and in particular our military defense capabilities have been so dangerously degraded and depleted over the last 5-6 years it is a national security nightmare, and thus, one you’ll barely see reported.

The Houthi campaign, to those who were paying attention, highlighted a number of such deficiencies, not least of which had to do with poorly trained soldiers, sailors and crewmen.

The work on Hegseth’s plate to rebuild almost the entire infrastructure and operations, right down to bullets, of one our most critical pillars of National Security, is one of Herculean proportions. And he has to do it fast.

I don’t envy him, but sure do pray for him in his efforts.

Foreign policy was a bright spot in Trump I, and increasingly a blight in Trump II.

I’m pleased to see Trump give Syria a fresh-start chance, rather than antagonizing the new government. If that’s a blight, then let’s blight on!

while recognising that The Scroll is an Israeli mouthpiece, its work is largely informative and accurate, and I’ll acknowledge a personal inclination toward The Scroll’s bias. Once ole Pat starts quoting the Grey Lady, a known neo-con, Intelligence Community hack-a-rama, authoritatively on most anything I lose interest and respect. Good luuck looking for a subscription.

This blog still remains an Israeli mouthpiece, and it’s about to lose a bunch of its audience by jacking up rates.

This morning I woke from a dream wherein Ron Desantis ran against RFK Jr in the 2024 presidential race. As dreams dissolve often into fragment upon waking, I cannot recall who emerged victorious. But whomever it was, it seemed they were actually operating from a committed vision in order to lead a great nation.

Some days it pays to sleep in.

"Israel targeted the head of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammed Sinwar, in a massive strike on an underground bunker beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, the IDF announced on Tuesday."

Israel committed another war crime as part of its ongoing campaign of genocide. Fixed it for you 😀

It seems that you're not familiar with international law or war crimes Tom. So you can safely affix a label to yourself as a useful idiot. There you go, fixed it for ya.

Yep - it's a a war crime to pursue military objectives out of protected locations like hospitals. Tom CB is just "infected" by the Carl Schmitt-ian idea that being a partisan legitimizes everything else.
