And Trump went to War

I Samuel 18:7 “The women sang as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."

We will never know whether Mr Trump sincerely intended to bring peace to the world. But what we know is that less than three months into his presidency, he has begun to do what ALL his predecessors did: Find excuses to bomb foreign countries.

The poor country of Yemen is his target.
Below is how Trump’s order to resume the bombing of Yemen was reported.

I am not a geopolitical guru, but I do know that American bombings of other countries have never yielded positive results.

“The United States began to carry out large-scale military strikes on Saturday against dozens of targets in Yemen controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, according to local news reports and two senior U.S. officials. It was the opening salvo in what American officials said was a new offensive against the militants.

Air and naval strikes ordered by President Trump hit radars, air defenses, and missile and drone systems in an effort to open international shipping lanes in the Red Sea that the Houthis have disrupted for months with their own attacks. The Biden administration conducted several similar strikes against the Houthis but largely failed to restore deterrence in the region.

In recent weeks, however, the Houthis have angered Mr. Trump. They fired a surface-to-air missile at an Air Force F-16 flying over the Red Sea, missing the jet. A U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper drone disappeared over the Red Sea the same day Houthi militants claimed to have shot one down.

United States Central Command, which carried out the strikes on Saturday without any other nation’s assistance, has regularly announced military actions against the Houthis.

But the US-led strikes have failed to deter them from attacking shipping lanes connecting to the Suez Canal that are critical for global trade. Hundreds of ships have been forced to take a lengthy detour around southern Africa, driving up costs. Despite the cease-fire in Gaza, some of the biggest container shipping lines show their vessels still going around the Cape of Good Hope and avoiding the Red Sea on their websites.”
