claiming the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, said they would “not be blowing up ships anymore.”
Is there any confirmation from them, or is he making shit up again?
No more American ships. However, America was always off the target list as long as they stopped attacking. Ansarallah was clear about that from the start. So Trump gained no concessions.
He’s making it up, and there have already been more attacks since he made the announcement.
I didn’t hear anything before now about this issue and am not well informed at this moment. Some preliminary reading from a CNN article indicates that the Houthi leadership acknowledged the agreement praising it as a victory because it separates US support from Israel. I didn’t immediately find anything regarding further attacks since the announcement but also I see that the agreement was specifically about halting the bombing campaign in exchange for the cessation of attacks on specifically American assets in the region, which I think would be why the Houthi leadership were quick to call this a victory. Are the attacks you’re referring to on American assets?
Trump made the announcement on Tuesday, and the second F18 was lost on Wednesday https://abcnews.go.com/International/2nd-navy-fighter-jet-truman-aircraft-carrier-lost/story?id=121542299
Hmm but that article says that in both cases the jets were lost due to some embarrassing fuck ups that seemed to have nothing to with combat, with the first being literally dropping one in the ocean 🤦and this latest one being overshooting a landing and having to eject while the plain ran off the end of the carrier in to the sea.
Actually, they acknowledge in the first instance that the carrier was being attacked and was taking evasive maneuvers that caused the jet to become loose. The second one doesn’t mention it explicitly. However, here’s another article talking about casualties on the 7th https://theintercept.com/2025/05/07/navy-jet-truman-red-sea-yemen-houthis/
Least surprising outcome
Only a billion flushed down the toilet and innocent people murdered. No big deal.
It’s the American way.
The technical term for this is “oopsie daisy”
Mission accomplished?
“heckuvajob” is the established nomenclature.
Oh, we’re allowed to talk about it outside of Israeli Signal, now?
