YEMEN & RED SEA … Open Thread, 12.01.2024
Please use as an Open Thread for the new aggression on Yemen, especially those who lack Salon access. I will continue my updates there as that format better supports mixed media (writing, images, links, embedded YT videos, etc). Here: https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/west-asia-front-thread-10-jan-2024/
IMO, this new expansion of West Asian war shouldn’t immediately result in a conflagration. The Empire delivered a symbolic show last night, a mafia-posture demonstrating “resolve” and “demonstration of strength” to “deter the Houthi hordes” as if a school-teacher wielding a stick against unruly children (!!).
The desired switcheroo will not be accommodated. Incomprehensibly larger Victories ripen in Palestine, in the Hague, and in the court of global public opinion. The civilizational-states will ensure Yemenis and others of the Resistance Axis keep their Eyes on the Ball.
So the Resistance has its priorities and its own pace. They remain attuned to the Genocide of Gaza, which will NOT be taken off the screens and attention of mankind. Rather this is another well laid trap, as pointed out by dear Pepe.. In hindsight, everything unfolding has been gamed and played to a “T,” knowing the eternal profile and Cro-Magnon reflexes and primitive urges of the dying Anglo-Zionists!
It is absolutely riveting and shocking the exposure and total isolation of the Anglo-American elites, chained at the hip to the now universally abhorred and Pariah Zionists. Today is the Zionist “defense” against charges of Genocide at the ICJ in the Hague.
Yemeni retaliation, which is a given, and some has already been dealt, can be expected to be measured and muted so as not to distract public attention off their evisceration at the ICJ, along with the entire combined West, equally on Trial. Perhaps audiovisual documentation of last night’s retaliation will be subsequently publicised at the right moment, and so on. Many operations by other Resistance members were displayed later, sometimes weeks later as by Hezbollah and Iraqis. The horrifying Spectacle in Gaza was paramount.
The Focus will remain on Gaza, at all costs, including sucking up momentary indignities and deferring revenge, or publication of documented hits, so as not to play into the desperate need of their enemies to deflect attention from the Annihilation of Palestinians which they CANNOT halt at this point. The Zionists’ deranged eschatological timeline, with its extremely limited time-window, is being used so beautifully against them. Unable to retreat, they are invited ever deeper into total strategic loss.
Thus the overriding goal of the coordinated Resistance Axis is that the messianic Jews, and the implacably supportive Christian Zionist Anglo-American elite, be exposed in front of mankind as satanic anti-Human supremacists that require the extremely brutal solutions now underway. Even at cost of a portion of the dear Palestinians, willing to endure anyhow for Liberation, building the moral imperative for total action against the crazed is the supreme task. So it was in the eight years of patiently suffering the slower genocide in the Donbass by the same parties, which led to global recognition of the inherent justness of the SMO. These are the sad prices moral societies must pay for remaining moral whilst fighting absolute amoral madness.
The Russia-China strategic partnership played it beautifully.
Abstention at a UN Security Council vote on Yemen.
Desperate Hegemon falls into the trap.
Opens yet another war front against the Houthis – who are capable of resisting ANYTHING.

History will register that on the same day that BRICS member South Africa's legal team eviscerated the apartheid Zionist Project in court, the Hegemon under Straussian neocon psychos bombed Yemen to change the narrative.

I think it is certainly true that Yemen is a trap for the US, and the US has stepped in it. That said, how much does this blockade really affect the US as compared to the EU. What if the show and attacks on empty bases in Yemen is really… Read more »

A very deep bow to Namibia’s president for doing the right thing about Germany’s support for Genocide in Gaza, “Namibia Sends An FYI to Germany & World”, https://karlof1.substack.com/p/namibia-sends-an-fyi-to-germany-and
Just as deep a bow for the barflies who informed us!!
Excellent link to your post, thank you – I recommend this to all. Germany’s vassalage goes far deeper than this moment, and its roots in the colonial urge that animates all this destruction that we see, are enduring.
The more the anglos stick their fingers into this, the more they will be humiliated and exposed for what they are before the world. They can only lose, and will.
AHH has explained much to us about the nature of his in-laws, the Yemeni, but here’s a little more flavor of who these people are. HINT: the last people in the world you want to pick a fight with. Their chanting song of “We don’t care!” is played here in… Read more »
Yes, much like Hamas is saying NO! to Imperialism and Colonialism and the crimes that result from them.
From Brian Berletic – he is in the sweet spot but things have changed: US-British Strikes Waste Critically Scarce Munitions on Futile (Stated) Objective The US-UK all but fought Yemen itself through Saudi Arabia – selecting targets, arming and maintaining warplanes, through the provision of ground weapons, and even through… Read more »

Yemen, the ICJ, and Muslim liberation

That is darn excellent. I put it on our telegram channel.

CronetooI, I agree with Amarynth, that was excellent, we need more voices like this from the Global South. Too many like Mercouris, though very good, can not quite grasp the magnitude of the train wreck the nations they live in are headed towards.
Thank you for the link. Shahid Bolsen is sharp as always.
I did a (improvable) transcript and translation to german: https://ausblick.roxy.xyz/artikel/Jemen-der-Internationale-Gerichtshof-und-die-muslimische-Befreiung–10
Maria Zakharova – this is the full briefing – the commentary on Yemen starts just before two minutes in and is not too long. I did not listen to the rest.

Biden statement
Amarynth, not one word about Palestine, although I doubt whether the average American or Brit has the intelligence to connect cause and effect. In the end The Empire will have to stop their genocide to protect their shipping, including their Navy’s floating targets. Or will they escalate and attack Iran… Read more »
Russia has requested an urgent UN Security Council meeting following the strikes by the US and its allies in Yemen.
