  1. الاتحاد الاوربي بخطر. اذا لم يشنو عميلة عسكرية للقضاء على الحوثي، سترتفع الاسعار في اوربا ولن يحتمل التضخم، وروسيا ستكون فرحة بذلك
    الاوربيون سيدفعون ثمن عدم دعمهم للعرب ٢٠١٦ عندما كانوا يحاربون الحوثي

  2. Nothing this Pentagon hack says to the media hack is the real reason the US is doing imperialism in Yemen. The reason is imperialism, period. In this case, it's the imperialism of funding and defending a literal genocide committed by the US government's cherished vassal state in the middle east, ie. the illegal Israeli apartheid colony in Palestine. Get a clue, people. Once again for the stupid folks who still don't get it, all nations have the right to defend themselves against illegally occupying forces, and Americans anywhere off of US soil are the illegal occupiers. What a shocker, it turns out the big "Build Back Better" plan was bombing the world's poorest brown country in retaliation for daring to defend the second poorest brown country against a literal holocaust being funded and perpetuated by the U.S. government and gaslighting gullible mainstream media audiences into believing it is somehow justified. Great job, Biden voters. This is your fault. The REAL left warned you that everything Biden has been doing is exactly what he would do. That and, you know, the 40 years of public records of everything he's done in his political career, which were always available to read for yourselves. Now we're all stuck on this Titanic together, with those of us who were smart enough not to enable this warmongering criminality hostage to the stupidity of the American mainstream. To say I'm pissed off is not enough of a word.

  3. Yankee get out is the mantra in the region, the only "governments" in the middle east are dictatorships and family run countries that are protected by the US Mafia, they are not popular amongst the citizenry that have no voting rights but always worrying about Putin or Xi or Maduro, the world sick of US hypocrisy and we are witnessing the slow death of the US empire, overpriced military weapons and legacy tactics that can't win any conventional war but only increase the tax burden on the people at the same time making the elites extremely wealthy who in turn buy up real estate, privatize health care making life even more difficult for ordinary people all the markings of a country closer to civil war than a treat from China, Russia or the Taliban.

  4. Let's be clear: what is happening in Gaza is NOT a "genocide". Of they were to commit to that [as Hamas has already shown that they plan to eliminate all Jews and destroy Israel], it would've been over in a week. They have enough fire power to turn All of Gaza into a HARBOR. So to reiterate: That is not a "genocide". IDF is clearing Hamas from the Palestinian civilians [that Hamas uses as human sheilds].

    Palestine isn't even a real country.

  5. The governments of the world must put pressure to stop the Israeli crimes against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and bring medicine and food to them. The security and stability of world trade in the Red Sea is linked to stopping the aggression against Gaza.

  6. The Yemeni army’s statement is clear that it does not target global trade at all, but only Israeli ships or those connected with it, and the demands of the Yemeni forces are clear, which is to stop the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza and allow the entry of medicine and food to them.. but the American administration does not want that and is the one who makes the Red Sea trade Unstable with her foolish behavior

  7. A lot of cargoes come from China to the rest of the world through that straight..China has a larger stake than anyone here. Let China handle this; it's becoming a worldly so it needs to protect its interest.

  8. Should Yemen not focus on sorting themselves out like there people are in a famine and they want to start a war with the west think they only bother about being stuck in the Stone Age

  9. Just cut the bull shit it's a desperate move to divert the attention of the world the US and the West are explicit in the genocide against the Palestinians, the situation in the Red Sea could have easily found a peaceful solution the Saudi's Egypt Djibouti and Eritrea could have persuaded the Huthis, the same way the West sanctioned Russia actions are needed against Israel,

  10. Honestly, I haven’t got much confidence left over your “situation handling”.
    “Jealous cop policy” is simply not the way to go… it’s not that complicated.
    We can only expect worst to come… ( of course, the motivation for them comes from Palestinian suffering situation ).

  11. Everyone needs to keep in mind that the real mastermind behind the Red Sea attacks is Putin. Putin prompted the Iranians to encourage Hamas to attack Israel, and Putin prompted the Iranians to encourage the Houthis to cause problems in the Red Sea. Everyone needs to realize that the goal of Putin and Russia is to crash the world.

  12. Don't mess witht the USA. Yemen have no airpower aside from F-5's are American built fighters. Keep in mind there are over 200K yemenians here is the USA so we need to be alert. Just like China who have infiltrated the USA so when war come I will tell we need to be ready here in the USA. We keep letting people immigrate to this country from all countries including communist countries like China, Vietnam etc.

  13. Attacking Houthis will lead to a total blockade in the Red Sea, because Houthis will target any ships/vessels sailing wiether it is commercial or military navy. The price of all commodities will be sky rocket. Biden and Sunak is a small brain leaders….

  14. The Yemenis target ships heading to Israel
    America attacks Yemen to defend its ally, which is committing genocide, and tells the Yemenis that you have no business in what happens in Gaza.
    It is allied with Israel and does not want the Arabs to ally with their brothers who are being killed by American weapons.
    They accuse Iran of its allies attacking it by proxy
    The height of insolence and dominance

  15. I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read

    Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell  (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
    And addressing/thanking the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea.
    Be my friend and I will pray for you, but I do not know how much help me doing so will give you. You should try to practice daily prayer yourself.
    I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏

    Amen.

    I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊

    ''   CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD,
    Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen.  ''

    Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏

    You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol.

    Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer:
    "CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen"

    Say '  Om Namah Shivaya  ' or '  Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya  ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want

    repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer  "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"

    You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to:
    "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen."

    Galatians 6:7-8
    "Do not be deceived, GOD is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.“

    Thessalonians 5:16-18
    "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

    Philippians 4:6-7
    "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

    "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!"   Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look

    If you can't remember the words to any prayer, pray them as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏 please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you do it and continue to do it. Don't just read from the Book or merely say you are a member of a religion! Actually practice daily prayer, the most fundamental part of religion (or one of the most fundamental parts). What would any Holy Book be without regular prayer? It will actually help you!

  16. When you're a full bird Colonel and retire from the Military, you don't go work for CNN as a commentator. You work for the CIA and then, you go to CNN and work as a commentator.

    I just wanted to point that out to the folks who may associate this guy with credibility or truth just because he's a retired colonel. You're welcome.

  17. You have the support of all the Muslim community, brothers in Yemen, the 90% sunni or the 10 % Shiites, you have the green card from the quarter of the world population
    – north African Tunisian here speaks with you from Tunisia

  18. بدون تحرك على الارض لن تستطيع امريكا كسب معركة باب المنذب امريكا عليها بدوله الجنوب لكسب الجنوبيين .

  19. امريكا فشلت بالقضاء على قدرات الحوثيين لهذا تعرضت حاملات طاءرات بالبحر الاحمر لهجوم صاروخي امريكا تخسر باب المنذب .

  20. America is not representing America. America should stop the genocide in Gaza, then the Houthis will stop seizing Israel bound ships. America is captured and occupied by …… This open wickedness is extremely unacceptable and uncomfortable

  21. Anything corporate assets earn outside the U.S. is barely taxed and that money NEVER comes back to our economy. I pray for them and their families and hope they wake up and say no to Wars outside our borders. 😇✝
