U.S. attacks on Yemen

 

In this episode, we grade 14 stories about the military decisions and actions of the Trump administration, focusing on the U.S. war against the Houthis in Yemen through a critical, antiwar perspective.

Jon Elmer, contributing editor at The Electronic Intifada, joins the show to discuss the escalating US bombing of Yemen. 

Washington is attacking Yemen to retaliate against Ansar Allah (the Houthi movement) after it reinstated its blockade on Israeli vessels in the Red Sea to stop the genocide. 

While the deadly attacks have killed hundreds of civilians, Elmer examines how the poorest country in the world continues to hold its own against the two most militarily powerful.
