WATCH: Houthi attack on port kills four, eroding truce with Yemen’s government
Six Houthi ballistic missiles struck Yemen’s government-held al-Makha port, killing at least four and setting fire to the facility.
Recent Houthi attacks have reignited fears of all-out war in Yemen, years after a 2022 truce halted fighting with government forces.

A recap of recent developments
>Trump says he will declare the Strait of Hormuz US territory “pretty soon” while preparing a hard economic blow to force Iran into ending the war.
<In response to Trump’s threats, Iran’s deputy foreign minister says the waterway will remain Iranian and that blockade enforcement will continue until the US accepts defeat.
>Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Islamabad MoU marked an “end of the war, not a ceasefire”, pointing out that the US violated the deal and fighting resumed, leaving no 60-day ceasefire to extend.
<Araghchi also says negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz “may reach a conclusion soon”.
>Abu Dhabi National Oil Company says one of its vessels came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, reporting no injuries and that the situation was brought under control.
<Oil prices rise more than a dollar a barrel as tanker attacks and stalled US-Iran peace talks drive Brent crude to $88.52 and US WTI to $82.40.
>CENTCOM says US forces “redirected” 62 commercial vessels in the Arabian Sea after reinstating the naval blockade of Iranian ports.

<Trump does not take his own claim of taking over Hormuz ‘particularly seriously’
It’s clear the US president, with a chuckle as he said that, even himself, is not taking this particularly seriously, given the fact that there is already an international waterway in the Strait of Hormuz where ships are traversing back and forth.
Also, these are the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. But what the US president likes to do is get under the skin of adversaries, and, in this case, it’s Iran.
What we should point out, though, is what the US president is not backing down on is the fact that there is a naval blockade by the United States in effect in the Strait of Hormuz, and that is ongoing.
In fact, the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that there will be ships that will be interchanged in order to continue and prolong that naval blockade.
So, the US president is trying to exert control. What is important to point out, however, is that he said no ships are going in and out of the strait unless the US wants them to.
That’s not entirely true. What we know is that there is some traffic that is going through, but it has slowed down significantly.

the stereotypical CIA agent is an old money WASP guy who majored in a social science or arabic or something and probably even if he did read killing hope he would just think its necessary for the us to stay dominant or whatever

Dick Richardson from Fallout 2 is explicitly based on the type of person you’re describing, whatever monstrosities they’re committing are ultimately necessary evils in their minds and having that burden actually makes them an even stronger and virtuous man.

They're very square, normie sorts of people. Both of these people are retired CIA officers. Abigail Spanberger, the governor of Virginia, is another one of these types. (Putin is a Russian equivalent, very normie and sober and politically moderate within his country's own context.)

Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO
Mangione, 28, said he made a gun with the aid of a 3D printer, traveled to New York and used a ruse — posing as an investor at a multibillion-dollar firm — to contact the company for details on the event. “On the morning of Dec. 4, 2024, I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died,” Mangione told the Manhattan federal court, which he entered shackled at the feet but not handcuffed in his beige jail uniform.

Vance presses Justice Department to investigate hospitals over transgender care
Vance sent the Justice Department a report issued Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Services accusing hospitals of incorrectly billing insurers for transgender health care procedures — such as prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapy to minors — in order to make a profit. “Some pediatric gender clinics and children’s hospitals have apparently used misleading or even fraudulent diagnostic and billing codes to ensure that insurance companies will cover the procedures,”…

Cuba after Six Months of the Oil Blockade: Crisis and the Road to Recovery
For more than six decades, the United States has attempted to make the Cuban people pay for their decision to pursue an independent, socialist path. The latest phase of this economic war has targeted the island’s most vulnerable artery: its energy supply. Six months after Washington intensified pressure on countries and companies supplying oil to Cuba, the policy has not produced democracy or improved the lives of ordinary Cubans. It has produced darker homes, immobilised buses, interrupted hospitals, and greater difficulty in moving food from farms to cities. The immediate task is to prevent a humanitarian disaster. The larger task is to replace coercion with sovereign cooperation and to help Cuba build an energy system that cannot again be strangled by a foreign power.

Gaza starvation: Why Israel's supporters are misrepresenting Unicef study
Israel has consistently denied that it has used starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. These denials date back to Israel’s submission to the International Court of Justice in response to South Africa’s genocide case at the Hague in January 2024. Its lawyers asserted that Post too long.

What a bunch of right-wing spooks. This is nothing but /pol/-esque "redpill" bullshit. "Young Men" aren't actually becoming more right-wing. That's just people being idiots on polls and polls can be easily astroturfed to give off any result.

And nice AI picture OP, you /pol/tard.

You're opinion, even if completely true in the society you're in, doesn't invalidate the fact that famous $$$influencers$$$ are influential and my friends in the teachers union have to deal with these shits on a daily basis.

so you admit that all this migration is caused by climate change and imperialism and that anti immigration is really about locking people into kill zones and not about protecting muh imperial core workers from muh job stealers. fucking finally

saying USSR "joined the World War on the side of Western imperialists" is just really telling on yourself. as if operation barbarossa wasn't a genocidal campaign against the USSR that necessitated self defense.

I'm ANPRIM, but my stance on immigration is that freedom of movement is a human right and there should be no borders. However, the current waves of immigration are demonstrably linked to Israel depopulating the Middle East. First in 2023, Hamas invaded Israel and slayed 1,200 people, injuring over 3,000 others and taking over 250 hostages. Then Israel retaliated with Operation Swords of Iron War and killed or maimed hundreds of thousands of people, and thousands of fighters, killed 1,000 more in expanded West Bank settlements, flattened all of Gaza in the process, displacing and starving millions, taking more than 12,000 prisoner. Simultaneously, this has also been the deadliest war for Israel in 50 years since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, w/ 400 IDF deaths and over 2,000 injured. Then the Houthis retaliated, hijacking an Israeli cargo ship in response to the Gaza genocide, taking 25 hostages (who were later released). Then Louay Alnaji kills Paul Kessler at a pro-Israel rally, striking him in the face with a microphone, causing him to hit his head.

In 2024, 3 US soldiers were killed in a Houthi drone strike in Jordan. Then 2 US Navy SEALs drowned in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Somalia while en route to seize Iranian supplies going to the Houthis in North Yemen. Then Hezbollah drone striked the house of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, causing minor damage. He was absent at the time of the attack. Then Thomas Crooks shoots Donald Trump in the head, nicking his right ear, before opening fire on the audience, killing one audience member, injuring 2 others before being eliminated by a Secret Service sniper. Then Aaron Bushnell self-immolates in Washington, D.C. in protest against the state-sanctioned genocide in Gaza. Then Bashar Al-Assad was sent fleeing to Russia after coalition forces took over Syria under the new leadership of Ahmed Al-Sharaa.

In 2025, the 12-day war happens. Israel attacks Iran, killing 1,000 people (including Mohammad Bagheri, Gholam Ali Rashid, Hossein Salami and Amir Ali Hajizadeh), injuring 5,000 others (including Masoud Pezeshkian). Iran responds with drone strikes and ballistic missiles, killing 33 people, injuring 3,000 others. The US dropped a B2 bomb on the Fordow nuclear power plant. Then Mohamed Sabry Soliman attacks a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, killing 82-year-old Karen Diamond, injurPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>but actual fascists like patriot front or proud boys.
You are more likely to have a Bonapartist/Putinist takeover before you see the patriot front ever getting power in the US

Imma be honest, yeah, communism as we know it has been reduced to an aestethic. Nobody really cares anymore about eating the rich. Very few countries have independent bankies systems, and those that do are unlikely to survive 20 more years. The rise of the DSA is just more stupid fucking idpol ragebait, there's no need for actual oomph, actual rioting like we saw in 2020, when you can just put on a keffiyeh, walk up to cop, and farm views as they punch you into the ground. It brings the same value as larping as a nazi or a satanist. It's fucking madness

>>2886079
Bonapartism is completely alien to the US and its political culture

Prediction (pessimistic): The status quo will continue for a long time. Now that's some real doomerism. No relief for you!
