Houthis

📝 🇾🇪 🇺🇸 Why do I think the Houthis are such a force to be reckoned with? Why do I think there is actually a chance they could defeat a US led coalition? | Calvin Froedge

🔶️ The Houthis seized power in 2014 following a coup, and after taking the capital of Sana'a, moved southward to begin an offensive against government forces.

🔶️ In 2015, A Saudi-led coalition of Arab states—including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, and Kuwait - with the material support of the US - joins the Yemeni government in fighting the Houthis.

⬛️ The coalition attacked by land, air, and sea.

🔶️ Despite an all out "scorched earth" war against the Houthis by virtually the entire Arab world and increased US arms sales to the Saudis, the Houthis remained undefeated and continued to gain ground against the Yemeni government.

🔶️ The Houthis would claim numerous victories over the coming years, not only against the Yemeni ground forces, but against coalition ground forces, coalition air forces, and even coalition naval forces.

⬛️ No matter how much they got hit with, the Houthis kept winning.

🔶️ In 2016 the Houthis even managed to completely destroy a coalition warship, the Emirati HSV-SWIFT 2.

⬛️ The ship was targeted by a Houthi anti ship missile.

🔶️ By 2019, the coalition has fallen apart. The Houthis have assassinated many key figures in the Yemeni government. They landed a huge blow against the Saudis in the 2019 Abaqiq attack. UAE forces have completely withdrawn from Yemen.

⬛️ The coalition decides to let the Houthis win.

🔶️ On March 30, 2022, Saudi Arabia announces a cessation of all military operations in Yemen.

🔶️ The Houthis have won. Against all odds, against the whole Arab world, against the United States, from a small city in Northern Yemen, the Houthis have conquered the country.

🔶️ Fast forward to today, are the Houthis weaker than they were a decade ago? Far from it.

🔶️ The Houthis now enjoy mass popular support and have inherited vast Yemeni weapons arsenal as well as supplies from Iran.

⬛️ They enjoy a strong strategic position at a vital choke point.

🔶️ My reasoning for thinking the Houthis are a force to be reckoned with is simple - they have already proven it, over and over again, while vastly outnumbered against foes supplied and supported by the most powerful empire the earth has ever seen.

⬛️ The Houthis are the Fremen.

🔶️ The Houthis have proven that they cannot be starved. Years of blockade were ineffective.

🔶️ They have proven that they cannot be defeated with technology - they have downed countless modern European and US built aircraft.

🇾🇪 This enemy will fight to the last man.

HOLY CRAP! NAACP lawyer came before the Supreme Court and said the quiet part out loud

Janai Nelson said we need race-based districts because: "white Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not!"

This is INSANE.

BREAKING: In an insane move, Justice Ketanji Jackson declares we need to draw Congressional districts based on race because black people are like disabled people

"They don't have equal access to the voting system. They're DISABLED!"

This is utter madness. How did she get on the Supreme Court?!

"My, kind of, paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA. Congress passed the ADA against the backdrop of a world generally not accessible to people with disabilities...why is that not what's happening here?!"

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says this is only the beginning as the tokenization of everything is underway.

Money, property, and even personal identity will soon exist in digital form.

He calls it a major opportunity for BlackRock, saying the plan is to move beyond traditional financial assets by digitally re-potting them into a new system.

Tweepcred

🤖📱 Between empty promises of a billionaire and a social credit system. The “secret” way your behaviour is ranked on X

What is Tweepcred? It’s a reputation system inherited from the days of Twitter, a social credit mechanism built into X, where every like, comment, retweet, or interaction feeds a hidden score. Post the wrong thing, and your reach is throttled, invisible to followers, blocked from the For You Page, and your voice is confined to a digital coffin. The worst part? X won’t even tell us what we’re doing wrong.

Tweepcred was open-sourced two years ago as part of Elon’s big push for “transparency.” The release confirmed what many suspected for over a decade: the system wasn’t neutral. It could be gamified, and it rewarded those who knew how to play it. Industry insiders and large organizations held a massive advantage over individuals, defeating the very purpose of the internet and the cultural revolution that once challenged mass media.

Ranchers

🇺🇸👨‍🌾 Meriwether Farms on X:

Dear Trump,

We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher.

We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last.

We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers.

Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, ...
