        They kicked the hornets nest in Iraq and Afghanistan and didn’t realize that wading out of that thicket left their bee suit in tatters (the so-called coalition of the willing entirely shredded by war fatigue) and then went and kicked an even bigger one without even patching the holes (MIC graft).

    What we are now apparently seeing is a coordinated campaign by Iran to put the final stranglehold on US and its allies. It cannot be mere coincidence that days after Iran had launched its largest attack on US assets in months and announced the wide expansion of its own blockade of Hormuz, suddenly its Houthi proxies have moved in to deal a crippling blow to the US axis.

    Ansarullah have been consistently hitting refineries for drone incursions against Yemen, so why would this be “Houthis are proxies” rathan than just a continuation of Ansarullah policy against saudi plane attacks?
