RT reported 9th Mar - Ukr has targeted civilian market in Kherson with 2 "U.S. supplied" Himars. Dozens killed or injured. Nothing since the initial report so what the response will be I don't know.
Trump has stopped the large scale Gaza killing for the moment.
Israel economically can’t afford economically to restart the war. And politically would probably hurt Netanyahu.
Hamas I’ve no idea on the immediate goals, but I’m guessing they want a breather so they can rebuild.
Unfortunately there is lots of blustering and provocation on both the Palestinian and Israeli sides, hoping to cause the other side to overreact.
On Ukraine / Russia getting past the bluster, Trump has managed to demolish the political cult and power of Ukraine in the US tremendously. What a huge unimaginable change. For the past 8?years Ukraine/ Zelensky was untouchable. And Trump has caused a political fire storm in Europe. And stopped substantial U.S. support to Ukraine. Politically Trump needs to issue done empty threats against Russia, but the changes Trump has done to the U.S./ Ukraine Overton window are amazing.
I hope Trump actually manages to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.
Erdogen owns this mess in reality, with a supporting ownership from Israel. I wonder who the msm will scapegoat for the Syrian mess, or will it be like Libya and forgotten from the news.
There is a genocide taking place in Syria. OSINT accounts that are paid for by British and American taxpayers encouraged the initial violence. These are degenerate accounts. Our taxpayer money cannot fund this disgusting garbage. CC @elonmusk

Might be a good time to go back and study all of journalists who were trying to program you to celebrate Assad’s fall.
Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.
Instead of worrying about nukes in Iran we should be worried about Israel's imperialism and their nuclear arsenal. We've had what many describe as unhinged North Koreans with a bomb and Pakistani's, a militant Islamic country, with a bomb. Who has threatened use of nuclear weapons in the M.E.? Israel. Yes, Tucker's right, let's focus on our country and it's relationship to Israel which is the source of ME discontent in the area.
Another of Trump's weaknesses: he doesn't listen. As Simplicius points out, he just doesn't want to hear what the Russians have been saying clearly for months and years about their strategic wish list.
The Houthis openly attacked two (2) US aircraft carriers and not just the aircraft carriers two (2) US Fleets - that fleet typically consists of a minimum of : A carrier, one to two destroyers, one cruiser, a couple frigates, one or two submarines, and one combat replenishment ship and a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircraft - the carriers do not travel alone
The US Fleets ran away reportedly Eisenhower suffered damage but that also has been denied
This has to be waying heavily on any decision making the Houthis are proven in the field
""" They did a nuclear deal with Obama and they adhered to the terms to the letter. Then along comes Trump who throws the deal in the trash bin """ --- yeah Trump has to be regretting that so many examples of the US not abiding by their agreements
The Houthis I have been writing my opinion, the bombs Trump sent Israel of recent bunker busters and MOAB were earmarked for Houthis and not Iran - Trump has to be panicked by the Houthis they chased two (2) aircraft carriers away with their tails between their legs - Eisenhower reportedly expended 770 missiles, the Eisenhower mission was a complete failure, the Entire Operation Prosperity Guardian was a probably at least a $ 10 billion dollar error
So what happens if Israel sends bombers to Houthis Yemen and Houthis unleash 30 % or more of what they have in storage on Israel and Israeli Airports before Israel planes can even get back to land --- Even 10 %
A couple bunker busters hit Houthis and they unleash > 10 % of what they are holding - why wouldn't they ? What would they have to lose ? probably nothing
What would they have to gain ? If Israeli airports are gone before the planes can get home to land .... well that's quite a message.
I see that you have returned to your theme of use missiles to destroy the airports. Apparently, you learned nothing from our previous discussion of missile attacks on air fields. Just to recap, Ted Postol's analysis clearly shows that ballistic missiles are not accurate enough to shut down air fields. Maybe you should have another go at trying to comprehend the reality of missile attacks.
Unfortunately you continue to reply without any understanding of the topic:
RE: the prior missile attack - just a few examples off the top of my head
A. You presume all prior missiles were sent to the same target
B. You presume all prior missiles were the ' best technology ' they have - you presume that they do not have more accurate missiles - more expensive missiles - they chose not to send initially
C. You presume they learned nothing from the first attack, in terms of targeting etc. when it was an initial attack - first of it's kind - you presume now having accomplished an initial ' test ' attack they cannot make adaptation
D. You presume in any subsequent attack they would send the same number of missiles they sent in the initial limited attack, when I clearly stated > 10 % of their arsenal - if bunker buster bombs are hitting your silos why not send it all
"A couple bunker busters hit Houthis and they unleash > 10 % of what they are holding - why wouldn't they ? What would they have to lose ? probably nothing"
Just like last time, you still don't understand the physics of missile targeting, and you remain oblivious to everything Postol explains in his video. It's not a question of the "best technology" or learning from the past or sending their most expensive missiles.
Ballistic missiles have physical limitations. The burnout parameters and re-entry parameters result in a spread across the target area. Even the best missiles of the superpowers face the same limitations. No one can control the parameters with enough accuracy to target a single runway with a single missile and expect to hit the runway.
At a minimum, there has to be a volley of missiles aimed at a single target point at the air field, and even then the volley of missiles will still yield a random spread of impact points, some inside the circle of error probability, but most of them outside the CEP. If there are multiple aim points at the air field, the impact spread gets even larger, and the shooter wastes even more missiles.
So, how many missiles would it take to effectively destroy an airfield? Postol gives the answer in the interview: "...hundreds and hundreds and hundreds..."
How many missiles do the Houthis have? You don't know, but your supposed solution is that the Houthis fire all their missiles to take out the return airfield, or maybe all the airfields in Israel. And if they had the supply of thousands and thousands of missiles to do the job, then what?
The planes mid-air refuel and land in Cyrus, and the Houthis are out of missiles. When the runways are rebuilt, the Israelis attack again. Genius Plan!
we will see what happens, suffice it to say I believe you are not correct and you believe I am not correct
but what you appear to refuse to accept is that you have no idea what weapons the houthis have nor the accuracy you could not possibly and you do not appear to take into account that they have also had several months to refine them
eg: the Houthis’s Samad 3 drone traveled 2,600 kilometers and penetrated Israel’s multi-tiered air defense system According to the IDF, the drone left Yemen, flying west toward Sudan. It then turned north, flying through Sudan for an extended period until reaching southern Egypt. From southern Egypt, it continued to fly north, all the way until it reached the Sinai, and then cut east into the Mediterranean Sea. From the Mediterranean Sea, the Houthi drone continued to travel east, cutting slightly south to strike Tel Aviv when it got closer to the Israeli coastline.

To believe your position, one would have to believe if Israel attacks Yemen/Houthis the Houthis will not fire back I believe they would and would do significant damage

Free Syria. Hassan Nasrallah told us about Jolani, but Jolani was exactly what Washington, Erdogan and Netanyahu wanted.
I hope Trump actually manages to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.
Erdogen owns this mess in reality, with a supporting ownership from Israel. I wonder who the msm will scapegoat for the Syrian mess, or will it be like Libya and forgotten from the news.
And supporting ownership from US ‘christian’ zionists.
I doubt most could find Syria on a map.
