NEW: US air war in Yemen is much bigger than the Pentagon has disclosed — and hasn't had much success, US officials say. US is burning through munitions it would need in a conflict with China. Cost is more than $1 billion. Our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u... - ThreadSky

Every NYT article should start with an apology for not telling the truth about Trump during the election

liberalkmd.bsky.social•28 days ago

We were promised no wars….are you telling me that was a lie?

Where’s DOGE when you need em?

bubbles9333.bsky.social•27 days ago

Whose big idea is this? Hegseth needs to go with the other incompetent cronies.

davey-sojourner.bsky.social•27 days ago

So much for the "Trumo has never started a war" argument.

lotusstreetwise.bsky.social•28 days ago

What do you mean with China why would we do that

rwillson.bsky.social•27 days ago

Should have planned things with our allies
Or should we say ex-allies

velonitram.bsky.social•28 days ago

How will Yemen pay back the 10B they own USA for the bombs being dropped on their territory?

haidarthespider.bsky.social•28 days ago

I don’t think they have said thank you either.

lmandryk.bsky.social•28 days ago

My heart breaks for the civilians. For the US troops and their families who voted for normal, I’m sorry. For the troops and their families who voted for hate or couldn’t be bothered to vote at all, sorry not sorry. You elect a clown you get a circus. Putting unqualified white guys in charge

lmandryk.bsky.social•28 days ago

instead of the best qualified persons, regardless of their race, sex or sexual orientation, can only lead to disaster.

mbletst.bsky.social•28 days ago

we were doing this under biden too

m-east52.bsky.social•28 days ago

Was unaware of this latest development as I missed the last group chat.

johndettling.bsky.social•28 days ago

@maxboot.bsky.social I thought it was kind of a fail by the press that there was little reporting on the Yemen mission after SignalGate. Hegseth said the mission was a great success. Why would anyone let alone the press believe him and not verify it ASAP.

Killing more, accomplishing less. The Donald motto.

publicwrx.bsky.social•28 days ago

Ah, yes. "Conflict with China"

bxgirl2700.bsky.social•28 days ago

Surprised? Do we need to repeat who’s involved in this? Does Trump, Hegseth, Waltz ring bells?

"No more wars".

juvenalisdacat.bsky.social•28 days ago

Barely a mention of the dead, but paragraphs about money.

altrocks.bsky.social•28 days ago

Money over people is the ideology that built America

robthekingdom.bsky.social•28 days ago

Protecting a state while they commit genocide uses a lot of munitions!

tvdudenyc.bsky.social•28 days ago

Enjoy your vote.

atlantadem.bsky.social•28 days ago

Maybe having a conservative weekend television host as your head of the pentagon wasn’t the greatest idea?

arthurmanfred.bsky.social•28 days ago

They're not at war with China, genius. Why do you want America to be?

davey-sojourner.bsky.social•27 days ago

Don't you know, we have always been at war with Eastasia!

flangy.bsky.social•27 days ago

Shooting war with China?

badwiperitchyhole.bsky.social•28 days ago

"This war is bad because we might need those bombs to kill other people" is exactly what you would expect out of the NYT. Just a bunch of ghouls.

Ah yeah that sucks, everybody definitely wants a conflict with China

frmrnewsshootr.bsky.social•28 days ago

Seems smart.🤦🏼‍♂️

elyon113.bsky.social•28 days ago

Hey so if we go to war with China, I'm on China's side

Is Edward Wong in a signal chat the rest of us missed?

The US military is propped up to enrich weapons manufacturers, not actually win wars.

beach2024.bsky.social•28 days ago

Has Congress declared war and I missed it?

fleezlow.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yeah it would suck if we couldn't start a hot war with nuclear-armed China

cocotrolololo8.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh has consent for war with China been fully manufactured then? We just speak of it like an inevitability?

davey-sojourner.bsky.social•27 days ago

Don't you know, we have always been at war with Eastasia!

curtnaus.bsky.social•28 days ago

Putting aside the general horror of air strikes and war and omg please no war with China…Yemen has been in a civil war for about a decade and what “success” could be expected from bombing a country in chaos?

jalixe.bsky.social•28 days ago

Americans are targeting civilians as well, it'll unite them if anything
