Trump has not even taken office and China, Russia are already signaling their willingness to strike peace deals.
Vance expresses openly that Trump's administration will "pursue a foreign policy of diplomacy and respect... rooted in the national interest of this country".
The warmongering Deep State will not let this stand.
Leftytard Jimmy Dore comments on the subject:
EDIT: Thanks to u/horstshort for correcting the portion regarding Houthis.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think we've seen the last of the assassination attempts.
Nah, we'll just have four quiet years until the term limit. The real difficulty will be keeping this going after.
The obvious heir apparent JD seems to be on board, and as a Marine that was on the application end of neo-con bullshittery, I think he's got an appreciation of what it is like to be a pawn in the way neo-cons do things, so I bet he will consequently choose another path.
Wait and see on Vance. Remember when Pence seemed to be on board? Or DeSantis?
Vance is not an independent billionaire, which means he can be bought.
Barron will cross the Rubicon
No his Dad is Julius Caesar.
Barron gives out hard-core Augustus vibes.
I dunno.. hes gonna be going to university soon. 100% some lefty girl will try to get into his circle and brainwash him.
Vengeful Vance would be even worse for them.
This is the difference between two parents:
One is very weak, too empathetic and forgetful at times so you push your luck a lot
The other walks into a room, scans it, starts unbuckling and folding their belt in their hands..
Which do you obey more?
I've been saying that this is very clearly: literal dad energy.
Everything's crazy and out of control at home until Dad gets home. Then shit sorts itself out real fast.
Now all we need is an AI version of Trump kicking in the doors to the oval office and shouting, "Daddy's home!"
THIS is what adults being in charge looks like.
They haven't. They shot a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel literally today. Stop believing bullshit spread on Twitter for Gods sake.
Upvoted, I researched the claim and there is no basis to believe that the Houthis have any intention to stop while Bibi continues the massacres in Gaza.
Biden also made sure to motivate them by continuously bombing Yemen, now for the second night.
They're making sure peace has no chance of happening before Trump takes office.
I still can't wrap my head around Biden somehow failing to carpet bomb a bunch of sand people. Talk about missing a layup
To carpet bomb someone you need a staging area and need to make sure that they can't hit you back. What do you think is going to happen if the Red Sea suddenly becomes impassable for all civilian traffic and not just Israeli affiliated ships?
Isn't that called a "carrier" in this case?
I don't see what you're getting at. The Red Sea is basically blocked for all civilian traffic at the moment anyway. Most ships are going around the Horn.
Carrier group cant do carpet bombing anyways. You need large ass bombers, not f35s. It can barely do substained precision strikes. Hell.. in its current situation, they run out of ammo in a day or two. Our logicistics is horrible atm.
You're right, that was for comedic effect. Those causes are what I was suspecting as well... combination of weak leadership, DEI, and resources shipped to Ukraine.
Yea. Im very surprised china didnt make a move on taiwan while biden was in office. Our military is at its weakest in decades atm. DEI at all levels, no strategic oil and weak oil production, shipped half our ammo to ukraine, our country having its own turmoil and divison, and being occupied in ukraine and israel.
China hasn't made a move on Taiwan because they're weak as hell. Their carrier is old shit that used a fucking ramp. I'm guessing they're not sure they can take Taiwan and hold it against even our current military right now. Don't forget, Taiwan can shell the mainland from their island if China gets frosty, I'm sure they don't think they'd be able to absorb that.
Carriers are vulnerable to anti-ship missiles. Hypersonic missiles pose a serious threat and the Houthis are in possession of such missiles. It'd require a major military effort to neutralize the Houthi threat.
Traffic dropped by around 60%. Bringing that number up to 100% would not go unnoticed and would cause more than just a minor annoyance for quite a few nations.
In all I've read on the Houthis I didn't see that the carrier group pulled out because of hypersonic missiles. It seemed more like the game of whack-a-mole was too costly. Can I read more somewhere?
OK but what point does this address?
Why would the American military ever admit that they are withdrawing carriers from a hostile area because they can’t adequately defend them?
You have to parse the news through your actual brain.
Easy there tiger. We are talking about a lot of different plausible reasons.
FYI the most technical problem with hypersonic missiles is targeting a ship, as opposed to fixed geographic coordinates.
I can't tell you the exact reasons why they pulled out. Those are just a few of the reasons why you can't just start carpet bombing or send naval assets into the Red Sea to protect civilian traffic.
That shutting down all traffic in the Red Sea would most likely have severe political and economical consequences. Taking major military action against the Houthis would do just that.
So unless you want to invade Yemen you can forget about simply bombing them into submission. That's not going to work. Hasn't worked for the Saudis, doesn't work for the US currently and won't work even if the US escalates it.
To be fair, hypersonic missiles are gay. I can literally out run them by yelling hard enough.
I really wanna know the napkin math behind that idea, because I have no idea what's happening here.
if you yell hard enough it stops making noise. This is a misconception, you are actually yelling faster than sound.
It's almost like trusting a bunch of goat raping terrorists is a bad idea or something
Before you spew your diarrhea you might want to try to understand what was being said first.
I think you need to understand I wasn't criticizing you. I was agreeing with you.
Like I said. You didn't understand what was being said. The Houthis never made that statement.
As they fucking well should.
Like last time Trump is showing the place he's best at: foreign policy. Last term it was absolutely insane how many things he's done in that department with IMHO the cherry on top being able to talk to North Korea at all. His day 1 peace talks might not even be wrong.
"Aligning" to a plan and willing to talk are two very different things. Ask any divorcee.
Geopolitics is fake and gay. Just like American politics.
Real power is wielded behind the curtain, not being broadcast to the peasantry.
