Ihjälkramad

 


Har SD blivit ihjälkramade av de "vanliga" högerpartierna? Fria Tider, som jag antar står nära Alternativ för Sverige, sammanfattar:

>>>Informationsplikten är det sista av en rad vallöften som Tidöpartierna avtalat om men sedan valt att frångå.

>>>Sedan sitt tillträde har Tidöregeringen bland annat fördubblat Jämställdhetsmyndigheten, gett 133.000 invandrare svenskt medborgarskap och fortsatt att betala bistånd till länder som vägrar ta emot utvisade medborgare, trots att partierna lovat att lägga ned Jämställdhetsmyndigheten, bevilja medborgarskap på "EU:s miniminivå" och stoppa biståndet till länder som inte tar emot sina egna medborgare.

Men vad är Fria Tiders alternativ? Det kanske framgår av det andra alternativet, där de objektivt sett stödjer houthi-rebellerna i Jemen för att de är mot Israel! Det finns andra anti-israeliska artiklar på deras sajt också. När det väl kommer till kritan är "alternativet för Sverige" tydligen ett fördjupat samarbete med...Iran.

Så alternativen är alltså att bli ihjälkramad av Liberalerna, eller att bli de iranska mullornas bitch.

Då vet vi det.

Failed intercept

 


The Houthis have some new toys. Hypersonic missiles, to be exact. They targeted Israel with surprisingly advanced missiles before, but this seems to be the first time that the Iron Dome fails to intercept. 

Which in turn suggests that the US-British attack on North Yemen failed to stop the Iranian-backed breakaway republic from continuing its military build-up. 

But yes, the sources linked below are somewhat "tainted"...

It´s on

 

Credit: Iranian Army (!)

Iran and its proxies in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon are attacking Israel with drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Ongoing.

It´s on

 


The United States and the United Kingdom have attacked the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. In other words, they have attacked North Yemen. Including targets in the capital city, Sanaa. 

Fuck around and find out. The real question is: Who is fucking around, and who will find out?

Too close to call?

 


Is a war between the United States and Iran getting closer? 

The pro-Iranian Houthis, who effectively control most of the former North Yemen, may have attacked US and British vessels in the Red Sea, including a warship. 

The Houthi-controlled "Supreme Political Council", which claims to represent all of Yemen, officially declared war against Israel shortly after the Hamas attacks. 

They do have the capacity to fire missiles against both Israel and Saudi Arabia, although so far the ones directed at the former have been succesfully shot down.

Official declaration

 


In case anybody wonders...

On X (Twitter), many users are claiming that Yemen has officially declared war against Israel. That´s not strictly speaking true, although it´s not entirely "fake news" either. 

The Houthi rebels, who apparently control most of North Yemen and are supported by Iran, have access to long-distance missiles. I believe they already launched some against Israel, and today they did it again, trying to hit Israel´s Red Sea port of Eilat. It was after this that the North Yemeni rebel government, fronting for the Houthi and only recognized by their Iranian patrons, "declared war" against Israel. In the name of the "Republic of Yemen", to boot.  

At least that´s my interpretation of the situation. The declaration of war itself is presumably just a propaganda exercise, but the fact that the Houthi have the capacity to strike at targets in Israel and Saudi Arabia of course adds another serious dimension to an already dangerous situation. It means that Israel could face a war on four fronts: Hamas in Gaza, Hizbollah in Lebanon, Syria and now (at long distance range) the Houthi in North Yemen.

All of whom are supported by Iran.
