Trump says the US will stop bombing Yemen, israeli govt apparently surprised

The US president says the Houthis have told his administration they no longer want to “fight” and they would halt attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes.

“The Houthis have announced that they don’t want to fight any more,” Trump told reporters at the White House alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

“They just don’t want to fight. And we will honour that, and we will – we will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships any more,” he said.

“We just found out about that. So I think that’s very, very positive. … I will accept their word, and we are going to stop the bombing of the booties, effective immediately,” he said.

The Houthis have not confirmed the pause. The US has been striking the Houthis on a near daily basis.

seen the film a few times but something I didn't notice before was that the ship they pilot is called the Rodger Young

Born in the small town of Tiffin, Ohio, in 1932, Young suffered a sports injury in high school that led to his becoming nearly deaf and blind. Despite this, he was able to pass the exams necessary to enter the Ohio National Guard. Soon after the United States entered World War II, Young's company was activated as part of the U.S. Army. Soon after his activation, in 1943, Young was killed on the island of New Georgia in Solomon Islands while helping his platoon withdraw from a Japanese ambush. For his actions, he was posthumously awarded the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.

so much of the movie is about the death drive

 

satire: not only dead, but dug back up and killed again for good measure

i think it's perfectly reasonable to criticise a govt that's continually going after the Communist Party which previously supported Chavez, tbh. they should rightfully be criticised for breaking the unity of the anti-imperialist camp in Venezuela by punching left. i don't listen to that podcast so maybe they're doing so in a lib, pro-imperialist way, though.

nothing more than playing around with legislation to try and reverse the progress that has been made over recent decades. it will fail just as all other attempts have, even the Nazi regime could not manage it. we can't go back to a time when trans people didn't exist. there never has been one.
