Donald Trump, who came to power on a promise to bring peace and reconciliation and end several wars initiated by the United States, has ordered a military attack on Yemen just two months after taking office.
Before issuing the order, Trump had already ordered the resumption of shipments of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, an issue that, before the US election, he described as an attempt by the then Washington government to start World War III with Russia.
Currently, US warplanes are bombing and shelling several parts of Yemeni territory under the pretext of ensuring peace and security in the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. In the first hours of these massive attacks, medical circles in Yemen have reported the killing of dozens of civilians.
Trump and the image of US attacks in Yemen
In response to the US aggression, Yemeni government officials in Sana'a have vowed to respond to the blatant aggression against their country with the strongest possible measures. The US military operation in Yemen will undoubtedly further disrupt security in the region. The Americans claim that they have launched the attacks with the aim of ensuring the freedom of navigation in the region; however, the experience of the last two decades has shown that every time the Americans ignite a war in what they claim is to restore stability, they have further disrupted the security situation.
Before becoming president, Trump was a vocal and consistent critic of the divisive and costly policies of his predecessors. For example, he described all the wars launched after the September 11, 2001, attacks in the Middle East as counterproductive and cost American taxpayers $7 trillion. Trump also sharply criticized the previous administration for spending $350 billion on the war in Ukraine.
But despite this, since he has now become the president of the United States and has assumed the reins of Commander-in-Chief of the country's armed forces, Trump has plunged the United States into another war in Yemen, which, based on past experience, will not lead to Yemen's defeat.
It has been almost 20 years since the United States launched its first military strikes on Yemen; and throughout that time, Yemen has endured and also faced massive attacks by a Saudi-led military coalition. However, not only has Yemen not been defeated, but it has become stronger and more powerful day by day, to the point where it now has sophisticated land, air, and sea-based missiles that have posed a serious challenge to the US Navy and its allies.
Not only that, but the Yemenis have also succeeded in launching several missiles that targeted and disrupted Zionist strongholds in occupied Palestine, which are more than two thousand kilometers away from Yemeni soil. In such an environment, the Americans can indeed bomb Yemeni military and civilian facilities and kill innocent civilians, but it is unlikely that they will be able to force the Yemenis to surrender.
Given this situation, it can be predicted from now on that the Trump administration's military strategy regarding Yemen will face the same fate as the strategy implemented by the administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and even his own first-term administration regarding the country.
The US attack on Yemen and the resumption of Washington's military aid to Ukraine show that war-mongering is a parasite that runs through the veins of US foreign policy, no matter who or what party holds the presidency. In any case, whoever occupies the US presidency either starts a war, or continues one that has already been started, or helps others fight wars, while innocent civilians continue to fall victim to the addiction to war-mongering and war-mongering that US politicians have.../
