On April 4, 2025, the United States carried out a military strike in Yemen aimed at a group that President Donald J. Trump identified as Houthis preparing for an attack. Trump shared a video on X, previously known as Twitter, showcasing an American airstrike targeting Houthi militants in Yemen, adding the comment ‘oops’.
Some sources claim the gathering was actually a civilian tribal event marking the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, rather than a military assembly. This discrepancy has ignited controversy surrounding the accuracy of U.S. intelligence and raised ethical concerns about the strike.
Does anyone think that Trump would care? If they bombed a kindergarden he would not care if people only thought he was “finally doing something”.
It’s about reaching the tipping point. We all have our thresholds, society has one too.
Because being a proven rapist, convicted felon, lying coward traitor and suspected pedophile isn’t quite a tipping point…
Fair point.
I’m actually scared of what it will take to make things right.
The French have some experience in dealing with absulotist leaders. They might lend you the necessary tools, if you ask nicely.
Be cheaper to source things from in house. Tariffs, y’know.
It is very important to remain sharp and swift in a time like this
Probably signed a piece of paper and then went back to golf. Doesn’t know anything that’s going on, especially with the Hooties
I don’t think that’s how people would have “gathered for instructions on an attack” especially when “attack” would mean launching missiles. But I’m glad that
we can trust Laura Loomer to handle the sort of intelligence gathering that would guide strikes like this.I would be shocked if anything would have deterred them if the knew they would be there.
Damn. Even the Jerusalem Post is disturbed by this.
But the IDF’s explanation for the ambush already has problems. Initially, the military claimed that the ambulances’ lights were off, but in fact, at least some of the ambulances’ lights were on, though possibly the first ambulance had its lights off.
Also, despite initial IDF claims, the ambulances were properly labeled as Red Cross.
After killing the Red Cross workers, the IDF still believed them to be Hamas based on examining six of the bodies, though the military’s explanation of what about the aid workers made them seem like Hamas forces was unclear.
[The IDF] buried the bodies to protect them from damage during any expected new fight, according to the narrative.
…
The Jerusalem Post was not provided with other cases in which the IDF used such a procedure to leave bodies of aid workers for the UN.
