Oct 25, 2026 ~ 'How to defeat the Houthis'   Unlike ISIS, which are Sunni Muslims, the Houthis are a Shia jihadist group that used to be called Ansar Allah before being named after their founder, Hussein al-Houthi.   "The Houthis are a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military movement in Yemen, controlling much of the northwestern region, including the capital, Sanaa.  Backed by Iran, they have declared themselves part of the Iranian-led 'axis of resistance' against Israel, the U.S., and the wider West — along with armed groups such as Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezb’allah movement."   "In order to halt the Houthis’ advances and prevent any future threats to maritime commerce, and ultimately to defeat them, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Israel need to bring together a reliable ground force that possesses religious motivation equal to the Houthis, and couple that with Western and Saudi aerial support.  The defeat of the Islamic State was not achieved solely by aerial operations.  The success was largely due to the ground forces led by the highly motivated Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).  Clearly, there is no Western power that will risk ground forces on Yemeni soil, and therefore, there will have to be an Arab Muslim force."   "As previously mentioned, in order to defeat the Houthis, there must be a determined, well trained Arab force, as fanatical as the Houthis.  Israel can provide intelligence to the Saudis and pinpoint the Houthis’ underground production facilities, where they store and assemble missiles and drones.  The U.S. could set up a naval blockade to prevent the Iranians from shipping arms to the Houthis and foil Iran’s banking transactions that provide funds to the Houthis. The demise of the Islamic Republic of Iran would go a long way in stripping the Houthi terrorists’ access to arms and cash." [Iran, Islam, Terrorism]
Nov 9, 2026 ~ 'JD Vance sold Trump out after the midterm shellacking — it's time to cut him off'   "Vance’s decision to wave the white flag of surrender early Wednesday morning was a breathtaking breach of loyalty."   "In a long statement on X, Vance shamefully tried to separate himself from the stalemate in Iran and the elections. He offered absolutely no defense of the Trump-Vance administration’s policies and decision-making. He failed to mention what Trump repeatedly says about the war. To wit, that the goal was and is to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, which it had vowed to use against Israel and the United States."   "He breezily summarizes them this way: “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.”"   He adds, “If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest.”   "Vance is also dishonest in conveniently ignoring his own odd conduct. This is not the first time he’s tried to separate himself from the war, which is an unusual breach for any vice president. Yet here he is, insisting on the morning after that 'everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.' His decision to throw Israel under the bus is a gutter move. To even suggest that Israel is the reason we are in the war puts him in league with Jew-hating Dems. It sounds as if the veep has been hanging out with Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed." [Iran, Politics]
