US is Flummoxed by Yemen
I almost don’t know what to say about Pete Hegseth’s social media post (see above). It is juvenile, counterproductive and dangerous. During my time living in Central America, I learned a very important piece of wisdom… i.e., The fish dies by its mouth. We need a...
Evasive Maneuvers
(photo: The erstwhile USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), now dubbed the USS Trembling Puppy for its multiple episodes of fleeing Yemeni missile strikes in a panic.) In the aftermath of the USS Trembling Puppy acknowledging the loss of yet another fighter aircraft in the...
Trump’s Unconstitutional, Presidential War Against Yemen
For Americans who still think that Donald Trump is an advocate of realism and restraint in foreign policy, the events in Yemen should come as a rude awakening. Unfortunately, the most prominent indicator enabled the president’s political opponents to evade their...
Attack Yemen? Yeah, I Warned you, Mr. Trump
What surprises me is that many in Washington, DC and media are surprised by the failure of the latest phase of Operation Prosperity Guardian to quell the Houthis. As Homer Simpson is prone to say, “Doh!” Here’s the latest from CNN: US air strikes in Yemen...
Trump Shares Collateral Murder-Style Snuff Film On 15th Anniversary Of Collateral Murder

Who Gives Two Hoots About the Houthis!
Yesterday we noted that the ascension to NATO of the Balkan Five (Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania) and the Baltic Three (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) amounts to some kind of bad joke. Their combined active military forces total...

Trump and Putin Begin Addressing Cumulated Geo-strategic Debris… Amidst Trump’s Ultimatum to Iran
The phone call on 18 March between Presidents Trump and Putin has happened. It was a success, insofar as it allowed both sides to label the result as “positive.” And it did not lead to a breakdown (by virtue of the smallest of concessions from Putin – an energy...
Scorch Marks in the Sand
Javelin, Stinger, M-777 howitzer, HIMARS, Excalibur, Switchblade, all manner of electronic warfare gizmos and counter-battery radars, Bradley IFVs, Stryker, Leopard, Challenger, Abrams, Patriot, JDAMs, HARMS, Storm Shadow, ATACMS ... I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Oh,...
Does the US military even know why it’s bombing Yemen?
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Fox News last weekend that the U.S. military had launched operations against the Houthis in Yemen because "ships haven't been able to go through for over a year without being shot at." He then said that in December-ish (not...

President Trump: Stop Bombing Yemen and Exit the Middle East!

RPI Director Daniel McAdams sits down for a long-form and wide-ranging interview with Brazilian professor Nima Alkhorshid on topics from the Biden Administration's Ukraine policy, EU sanctions on Russia, and the US-abetted nightmare in the Middle East:
The World’s Gyre
The US is edging closer to war with Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces, a state security agency composed of armed groups, some of which are close to Iran, but which for the main are Iraqi nationalists. The US carried out a drone strike in Baghdad, Wednesday that...
