NEW: The New York Times has released a detailed report on why Trump prematurely ended the bombing campaign on Yemen
The article states the following:
– After 30 days of strikes, Trump wanted a status report on Yemen. The status report concluded that the U.S. had failed to achieve air superiority, that drones were being shot down at an unprecedented rate, and that the U.S. had spent over a Billion dollars in the first month alone.
– Omani officials told Steve Witkoff that the U.S. would be offered a way out of the campaign, but only if Trump agreed to direct talks with Yemen that did not include Israel, to which the President agreed.
– Saudi Arabia provided the U.S. with a list of 12 Houthi officials to assassinate, in order to 'cripple' the Yemeni movement. None were killed.
– Several F-16 and F-35 jets were almost shot down by Houthi air defenses, marking a significant threat to American lives and elevating worries about a possible future confrontation with Iran.
– The U.S. used many advanced precision ammunitions, including bunker busters, but it had very little effect on Houthi infrastructure.
– U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth tried to convince Saudi Arabia and the UAE to sponsor a renewed ground offensive in Yemen, but they declined

Why Trump Suddenly Declared Victory Over the Houthi Militia
The militant group in Yemen was still firing at ships and shooting down drones, while U.S. forces were burning through munitions.

President Trump has never bought into long-running military entanglements in the Middle East.Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times
When he approved a campaign to reopen shipping in the Red Sea by bombing the Houthi militant group into submission, President Trump wanted to see results within 30 days of the initial strikes two months ago.
By Day 31, Mr. Trump, ever leery of drawn-out military entanglements in the Middle East, demanded a progress report, according to administration officials.
But the results were not there. The United States had not even established air superiority over the Houthis. Instead, what was emerging after 30 days of a stepped-up campaign against the Yemeni group was another expensive but inconclusive American military engagement in the region.
The Houthis shot down several American MQ-9 Reaper drones and continued to fire at naval ships in the Red Sea, including an American aircraft carrier. And the U.S. strikes burned through weapons and munitions at a rate of about $1 billion in the first month alone.
It did not help that two $67 million F/A-18 Super Hornets from America’s flagship aircraft carrier tasked with conducting strikes against the Houthis accidentally tumbled off the carrier into the sea.
By then, Mr. Trump had had enough.
Steve Witkoff, his Middle East envoy, who was already in Omani-mediated nuclear talks with Iran, reported that Omani officials had suggested what could be a perfect offramp for Mr. Trump on the separate issue of the Houthis, according to American and Arab officials. The United States would halt the bombing campaign and the militia would no longer target American ships in the Red Sea, but without any agreement to stop disrupting shipping that the group deemed helpful to Israel.
They are scattering like Zionist-roaches...

This may be why Trump is talking a golden dome defense for the US...
He just wants something else to be praised about
If Washington knew how to stop going outta its way to fuck with folks they would not need that
Yep, I've said the same thing. Everything that's going now; the economy, the "population" issue(?), the rumors of wars; it the chickens that Malcolm talked about.
They should hit their constructions equipment spots
Whole watch party smells like old goat cheesemufuckas gathered out there watching it like they at AMC or Cinemark....
The US military has deployed an advanced S-Band AN/TPS-78 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) and ADCAP Multi-Mode Radar (MMR) radar in Djibouti.
The S-Band radar has a long range of 444 km and is equipped with multi-mode capabilities, making it suitable for detecting high-speed and high-altitude targets in challenging environmental conditions. It can also track tactical ballistic missiles.The radar deployment should improve Yemen threat detection, especially for anti-ship ballistic missiles across the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab Strait. Consequently, US military operations against Ansar Allah may resume soon.After the unsuccessful operation in Yemen four months ago, the US and Israel are now seeking to suppress Ansar Allah through a series of intelligence and security operations led by Mossad and the CIA.Preparations for this operation are currently underway in Puntland and Saudi Arabia, with the support of the UAE.
