The US has strategic interest in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea.
Obama meddled in Yemen with the neo-con morons and created the Houthi terrorist government it has now.
Unfortunately, when morons like Obama and Hillary Clinton completely destabilize major international shipping lanes it creates a problem that needs to be addressed.
You couldn't find Yemen on a map if your life depended on it. Much like Ukraine.
Whenever anyone in the world does anything you think the Democrats did it.
You're an idiot so you think everything you're ignorant about is a lie....

Obama is the reason the Houthis are in power. You have no idea where Yemen is. You have no idea who the Houthis are. You have no idea what Obama did. You should be embarrassed to insert your completely worthless opinion in.

This isn’t about what Obama or Clinton did. The Houthis have said they will stop the Naval blockade if aid returns to Gaza. Who do you support US soldiers dying for Israel?
Pretend Israel isn't Jewish and reassess the situation Adolf.
Trump is now publicly admitting that they have ignored a judges order to stop the deportation.
This will be like a junkie taking his first try with heroine. It will prove to be too much for him and he will be hooked and demand more and more. He will see that courts are inept at enforcement and that will enhance the trip making it irresistible to do repeatedly.

Lets see if I am right.
You mean the judge that gave Clinesmith probation for forging documents to falsify FISA warrants to spy on US citizens....
This judge should be impeached and disbarred.
Corrupt leftist judges like this should be rooted out and removed.

the trump plan is the same as all authoritarianism.
just keep pushing the envelope a little each time, see where the weaknesses are, see where you can grab more power and where you can diminish checks and balances...and then aggressively go there.
trump is seeing if there will be serious pushback from lawyers and judges.
my guess is that no, there will not be, and trump will soon be ignoring judicial review like he ignores shame, rules, norms, honor, truth, tradition, experts and law enforcement.
he's on the road to authoritarianism and this country doesn't have the backbone to stop it. Trump is just that charming and Republicans are just that gullible.

Activist judges have made political rulings to defy Trump's orders because they don't like them.
"It has been reported in America that, over the past two months, ICE has been preparing an operation to arrest pro-Palestinian activists. The agency even reportedly paused its human trafficking and drug smuggling investigations to have agents monitor social media for posts and likes from pro-Palestinian students. When they believed the individuals involved were foreign students, they forwarded the findings to the State Department. This is how Khalil was ultimately arrested."
So harassing people who aren't sufficiently subservient to (not America, of course) Israel is what ICE is doing now. Such a great use of time and money! Instead of targeting violent criminal aliens, they're focusing on people who criticize Israel.

they go after transexuals because Republicans know few support them
they go after palestinian supporters because Republicans know few support them
that's how the authoritarians warm up.
eventually they go after the people who just don't like Republicans.
This is why we defend trans rights and hamas rights. To stop this in its tracks. Even though we don't particularly support trans or hamas people. Eventually the authoritarians will come after you and me.
Do you all see how this works?

How are they going after transgenders? Sue me for not believing we shouldn't pay for (via tax dollars for those on medicaid) mentally ill people's cosmetic surgeries. And I don't really care that a non-citizen is deported either.
And they'll never come after you or me, assuming you don't commit crimes.

I will ignore your ironically childish insults and address the substantive point.
The paper by an Emirati-funded think tank argues that Obama was unsuccessful in propping up Ali Abdul Saleh, and his use of drone strikes against AQAP contributed to the breakdown in order throughout Yemen, resulting in the Yemeni military largely refusing to fight the Houthi advance.
However, it also states that
Middle East Institute wrote:
Foreign powers have little impact on these developments. The Group of Ten Countries (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and five members of the GCC, excluding Qatar) back the GCC agreement, the Hadi government, and now the new Peace and Partnership Agreement signed with the Houthis, but the group has shown itself powerless (and in fact clueless) in the face of the Houthi advance
In other words, the dynamics of the Yemeni Civil War are mainly Yemeni. Of course, the UAE (which funded this think tank), subsequently took part in the Saudi war against the Houthis. Despite that alliance’s efforts, the Houthis have not been defeated, and their support in northern Yemen remains strong.

Checks and balances are so woke
Checks and balances are outdated ideas, and they are stopping America from being competitive against Russia and China. If I was Trump, I would take much more dramatic steps since time may run out soon.
Plan A. Fire all the dem nominated judges. If there is pushback, I could fire all judges, then re-hire some “better” ones based on one only criteria - loyalty to Trump and maga agenda.
Plan B. Arrest all liberal judges for economic crimes or treason or both. Tell them to resign so a pardon may be issued, or they will be executed as the president has absolute immunity to take official actions for the goodness of America.
Once the justice system is fixed, military would be next. Those could cause short term pain, but are necessary steps to make America great again.
There was a tiny sliver of hope that Trump's ego would allow him to stand up to Israel.
Zero chance the Zionists who would have run Kamala's admin would have.
Did you attend Church today? I'm talking a real Church, not some schlock outfit posing as a church (e.g., Lutheran, Orthodox). Did you? If not, you have zero business opining on Israel which plays a huge role in all liturgicals.
As Trump once said "If Jesus is indeed the seed, then we are but the eggs."
