On April 4, 2025, the United States carried out a military strike in Yemen aimed at a group that President Donald J. Trump identified as Houthis preparing for an attack. Trump shared a video on X, previously known as Twitter, showcasing an American airstrike targeting Houthi militants in Yemen, adding the comment ‘oops’.

Some sources claim the gathering was actually a civilian tribal event marking the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, rather than a military assembly. This discrepancy has ignited controversy surrounding the accuracy of U.S. intelligence and raised ethical concerns about the strike.

    Does anyone think that Trump would care? If they bombed a kindergarden he would not care if people only thought he was “finally doing something”.

      Probably signed a piece of paper and then went back to golf. Doesn’t know anything that’s going on, especially with the Hooties

      It’s about reaching the tipping point. We all have our thresholds, society has one too.

    I don’t think that’s how people would have “gathered for instructions on an attack” especially when “attack” would mean launching missiles. But I’m glad that and we can trust Laura Loomer to handle the sort of intelligence gathering that would guide strikes like this.
