The carelessness, frivolity, and mendacity of the Houthi attack and the attempts to conceal them raise lots of questions. Is this an isolated incident, or, as is likely, is not this amateurish behavior routine in the Trump regime? To use an old Nixon formulation, is not this incident a strong indication that America is a helpless giant? What does this incident tell us about America’s ability to defend itself in an all-out war or to wage a successful war against its enemies?
This suggests also that maybe we should not be so very concerned about America’s traditional enemies and worry and act about our new and most dangerous enemy, the Trump Regime which has been attacking America’s dignity, welfare and effectiveness since Trump last took office. That Trump was re-elected and is so successfully dismantling the American government with the connivance of the Republican Party makes me ask this question: Does America have a deathwish? Are we committing suicide?
