Summary

JD Vance angered senior Republicans after questioning Trump’s directive to strike the Houthis in Yemen during a Signal chat with top officials.

Some GOP lawmakers viewed Vance’s objections—framed as anti-European and pro-MAGA—as an attempt to obstruct Trump’s decision.

The Trump administration is escalating military actions, including deploying B-2 bombers, carriers, and missile systems, signaling a sustained campaign.

Critics fear entanglement similar to Iraq.

    Watching peoples homes and shops get destroyed in the bombings and then seeing this is a recipe for rage. America deserves its collapse.

      This is so egregious a violation of national security and government security policy that we’re not even discussing whether it was appropriate

      And this makes it even worse, complaining about a mildly dissenting opinion, not the breach of security, not a bunch of yahoos who think they are above security and ethical policies, and not talking about a proxy war halfway around the world

        Honestly I see it as manufactured consent in 2025. Controlling the narrative via framing the controversy for us before it becomes news.
