The Houthis have taken 81km of land along the Red Sea and are controlling shipping.
Oil has gone up to $100 a barrel.

This is a dangerous turn in the war.
What will Trump do? He is already out of favour with the US people for breaking his promise and starting the war with Iran.

This is terrible news. It’s clear Trump cannot end the debacle he started.

I have no words for the contempt and anger I fell toward this irresponsible lunatic.

I also have no answers.

The Houthis are "well entrenched" by the Red Sea now.
The damage Trump has done is infuriating.

Horrible too, for the people fleeing from them.

No worries , all will be well after the mid-terms apparently.

I suppose there are some people who believe that.

The cost in human suffering is the worst part. All those displaced people in the Yemen and all the deaths. Trump has achieved nothing but chaos.
