It keeps becoming clear: the Deep State doesn’t want a Trump victory, ie peace, in Ukraine. Its puppets and cut-outs and emissaries are desperate to throw a wrench in the works - ceasefire? minerals deal? the issue of Zel’s legitimacy and standing to engage in “diplomacy”?- at whatever cost (because Trump; because Russia). So Ukraine is just version 2.0 (3.0 or something, lost count) of Clinton’s evil hoax unleashed upon the world. Trump needs to get a grip and realize who these traitors and “malfaiteurs” are and show them no mercy. As Handlelt says below, get out now.
"We know that the B2s have been used at least once against Yemen. Warlord suggests that’s the real reason for their deployment."
yeah i've been writing that for a least a week yemen just put photographs up they shot down the 16th US MQ0 cost per unit some 33 million and they announced 3 attacks on the truman in the last 24 hours
truman will have to come home soon to reload,
eisenhower you may recall - did not stay long and reportedly used 770 missiles
The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is likely being sent to replace truman (though media currently saying ' to join them )
rest assured truman will have to come home soon - and there lies the problem, US cannot sustain battle across the ocean attrition it is a now win situation
=== I believe this US plan to B52 bomb Yemen is destined for failure,
a) they need precise location ( probably gathering now but much is unknown )
b) given # of MQ9 being shot down they have to be concerned about altitude, so bombing greater altitude less accuracy,
c) many if not most of Yemen bunkers/storage dug deeper then B52 penetration and fortified concrete, and
d) the B52 already tried to hit known Yemen bunkers and it was reported only the
" doors " to the bunker were damaged and that they were quickly repaired
The B-52 could theoretically hit an underground weapons storage facility in Yemen, such as those controlled by the Houthis, if its location is precisely known. The GBU-28 is designed to penetrate up to 6 meters (20 feet) of reinforced concrete or 30 meters (100 feet) of earth before detonating,
Yemen’s Houthi forces are believed to possess Soviet-era systems (e.g., SA-2, SA-3) that pose a threat below 40,000 feet, though these are less effective against high-altitude B-52s with electronic countermeasures.
Knowing the Houthis have been successfully striking MQ 9 and that The MQ-9 Reaper has a maximum altitude of 50,000 feet - one may imagine they were flying the MQ9 pretty high.
And knowing this US must also know, Houthis may have weapons greater than US believes -
A B-52 bombing from an average height of 35,000 feet could accurately hit a known underground Yemen bomb storage site with a GBU-28, achieving a CEP of 5-10 meters, sufficient to destroy shallow or moderately hardened targets (up to 30 meters deep in earth). Against deeper installations, its effectiveness diminishes, and a B-2 with a GBU-57 would be required. Given known Houthi sites, success is possible if intelligence is precise and the target isn’t excessively fortified beyond the GBU-28’s capabilities.
So the first amendment is being called into question and you are labeled antisemitic if you question the ongoing genocide in Gaza, if you talk about it if you protest it, you are labeled a terrorist as well as being pro Hamas because you are concerned about the human suffering going on in Gaza.
Compare that to say if you were showing compassion about the ongoing civil wars that have happened in the Sudan and Rwanda. In fact those wars are continually going on and yet we don’t talk about it. We don’t hear much about it. But that’s a different deal. It won’t be labeled anti-Semitic or anti-African or any other label if you talk about the tragedy going on those two countries.
But talk about the ongoing problems in the Middle East as pertains to Gaza, the West-bank, Syria and Lebanon and your anti-Semitic. If you do not support Israel in their plans to take over Gaza the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan your anti Semitic.
Have we given up our freedoms to free speech and bow down to the Zionist pro Israel groups out there along with surrendering our freedom to determine and run our own foreign policy.
The question is quickly becoming when do we finally wake up and cut Israel, loose in terms of no more foreign no more military aid and let them either sink or swim? Why are we as a country attaching ourselves at the hip of Israel and risking absolute total Middle East war?
The waking up is not necessary. It is widely known in political circles. Cutting Israel loose is but a dream and one that will not be realized as long as our politicians are bought by the Zionists.
I clicked through on the link to read about Dr. Joanne Liu. I learned about how she had spoken out that the 2015 US attack on a hospital, a trauma center run by Doctors Without Borders in Afghanistan, was a war crime. The US then said the attack was a "mistake".
US insists on treating intelligent, well-informed Russian officials as sub-human garbage. Everyone knows Zelensky is a US puppet, was about to be thrown out if he didn't follow US orders, and that Ukraine surrendered its "sovereignty" 35 years ago when it agreed to become a US taxpayer funded Soros colony. It's sickening to hear Trump elevating Zelensky to a world leader and telling Putin to "make a deal" with him "whether he likes him or not." "Liking" Zelensky is the issue? Not for US taxpayers who've been forced to keep the Soros colony functioning for 35 yrs.
Trump: "He [Putin] is supposed to make a deal with him [Zelensky] whether you like him or don't like him. So I wasn't happy with that."...Mr. Wauck: "...According to Trump, Putin is supposed to pretend that this is a spat between Russia and Ukraine and Trump is the disinterested mediator who doesn’t want to see more “handsome soldiers” die. Whereas everyone knows this is America suing for peace. Is it any surprise that the Russians are having none of that and don’t really care whether Trump is happy with them or not? Trump’s trying to make this a personal thing, to pressure Putin, but just the other day Putin explained to the Russian nation (whose opinion he values far more highly than Trump’s) that he’s not about to put his faith in one man."
If the US military uses the B2s to bomb Yemen, then one must assume that the point of that mission is to commit a greater level of genocide against the Houthi than is currently being conducted by the Israelis against the Palestinians. It would thereby provide media cover for Israel, as most world's attention would be focused on the US genocide. How far we have fallen as a government and nation.

Great write up as always Mark. The piece on Yemen capabilities and the Diego Rivera were highly enlightening! Always a pleasure to read your posts - and I'm grateful for the time saved not having to watch all these videos!
I still hear many commentators saying that "I believe Trump sincerely wants peace". I doubt that more by the day. I agree too about the Iran ultimatum's similarities to Austria's Serbia ultimatum of 1914. The Austrian Chief of Staff, Conrad von Hoztendorf, had decided on war long before the telegram was even sent. I have to feel a bit sorry for Netanyahu: it must be exhausting running two countries.
Trump: "He [Putin] is supposed to make a deal with him [Zelensky] whether you like him or don't like him. So I wasn't happy with that." Trump sincerely wants peace but only on his terms.
Wauck: "Again, Trump is trying to tell Putin what Putin’s role will be in Trump’s reality show. According to Trump, Putin is supposed to pretend that this is a spat between Russia and Ukraine and Trump is the disinterested mediator who doesn’t want to see more “handsome soldiers” die..."
I find this observation by Mark to be very enlightening and seemingly, frighteningly, supported by recent events. What happens when Putin is "fired" off the reality show but refuses to leave the studio? What happens when Trump realizes that Zelensky and his backers have exactly zero interest in peace with Russia and have been lying to him? What happens when Iran shuts down conversation (even via third party) with the U.S. without acceding to U.S. demands, or denying them, or even responding to them through normal diplomatic channels? Do we go ahead and bomb them and start WWIII with them, Russia, China, and potentially India, along with the economic impact of closing the strait of Hormuz? I have been a long time Trump supporter (at least in his domestic policies) but for the love of God and our fellow man, this isn't a TV gameshow.
Hi, Cass. Respectfully, I'd say that DJT's intentions are actually irrelevant. People are forming their opinions of him not from his intentions but from his actions. And what they see through his actions is someone who is changing his mind every other day and rekindling wars that he promised us he would stop. They will respond to those actions accordingly.
It keeps becoming clear: the Deep State doesn’t want a Trump victory, ie peace, in Ukraine.

Just read that Houthis have downed 16 MQ-9s at this point.
at $30 million a pop.
no win
Regardless

It would be interesting to know at what altitudes the reapers are being shot down and if the B2s are using stand off munitions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunduz_hospital_airstrike
The story reminds me of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. The Israelis said it was a "mistake".
Very good book: "The Attack on the USS Liberty" by James M. Scott
Israel's "mistake": 34 killed, 171 injured
US's "mistake": 42 killed, 30 injured
Each country's government purposely targets defenseless human beings, and then lies about it, without remorse.
Zelenzky has no cards. Trump has no cards. Putin has well over a million man army in Ukraine.
He has the best anti-missiles systems, shared with Iran! Stealth Subs, Tsunami Torpedos,etc.
Putin has PHDs in Economics and Law. He hired on as an Attorney for the KGB/FSB 5ft 7in
Worked his way to the Top Job., by being the smartest man in the business.
His rank was General, as reported from a Native Russian. He has led Russia from deflated,
To the Powerhouse it is today. He has built 30,000 Christian Churches. 2000-2014.
Who is in a position to boss him around? Putin Could Make a Long List of Demands.
Disarm European Nato.
Unfreeze frozen funds 300 billion?
Drop all sanctions.
Repair the Nordstream Pipeline to operational.
Claim Total Control of the Black Sea, to be Renamed the Russian Sea!
When Russia came to visit Ukraine, after 10 years of America taking control of Ukraine,
The stated Mission was to clear out the Nazi types, there are now 1,000,000 less Nazis.
Any or All of the Leaders of Nations need to check with the Wizard of OZ,
about Getting a Brain. They would be Begging Forgiveness, instead of Bitching because they LOST and will LOSE some more, if they drag it out. LoL
note, not taking sides, just pointing out the Obvious.
Beware Delusions of Grandeur.

In April 2019 Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill to stop bombing Yemen: Trump: "This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future."...https://www.heritage.org/middle-east/commentary/trumps-veto-yemen-war-resolution-protects-us-security-interests
