Calling off the dogs of war in Yemen...A foreign policy that only psychopaths could oppose

[Oddball]

While I'm for not intervening in the first place, get-results-or-get-the-hell-out is the next best thing.

The CiC saw what a money pit, along with a potential for escalation and lost lives of servicemen, this operation was...Rather than act like the war pigs who preceded him, he cuts the losses and refuses to chase the fallacy of sunk costs.

The man put the interests of the nation first, and those of the lobbyists and contractors last....For that I give him the polite golf clap.


President Trump did what American leaders are supposed to do: put the interests of the country ahead of politics and foreign agendas. He saw a bad bet and walked away. That’s not weakness; it’s real leadership. Not every scuffle is worth dragging out, and it’s perfectly okay to admit that. It’s what leaders should do.


The even bigger takeaway is this: in a town full of swampy warmongers and defense lobbyists, Trump proved he was willing to cut and bolt when the mission wasn’t serving America. He defied the Pentagon. He defied pressure from Israel. He chose results over reputation. And as a result, he saved American lives, dollars, and dignity.

Trump defied Pentagon, foreign agendas, and the war machine - in one BRAZEN move.... - Revolver News

This is what sets Trump apart from other US presidents.

Sort of make me wish McCain was still alive to give the war mongering bastard a giant FU.

Even on Morning cup of Joe they grudgingly had to admit Trump is rushing this trip... of course they used word salad to do it but it was remarkable....

Yes, Yemen, through the Houthi movement, did request a ceasefire, which led to the US halting its bombing campaign in Yemen. This ceasefire agreement was mediated by Oman, with the Houthis reportedly agreeing to stop attacking shipping in the Red Sea.

The issue is Trump does one thing one day and then something sets him off and he does the opposite the next.


If we get out and stay out, good.

isolationism never worked ---BUT be that as it may---the HOUTHI

Of course they are .
Because the US actions were literally costing billions for no obvious return -- Trump made an agreement which ONLY relates to the US and the Houthi Tooty boys .

But does NOT include Israel or Israel connected shipping .

The US was humiliated as I said previously and that full perspective has been suppressed .
