United States' murderous cowardice again on display in Yemen

19 April 2025

The United States . . .

. . . and its Middle East enforcer, CENTCOM, regularly force us understand that American leadership — and the Parasitic Oligarchy that controls it — are pure versions of Satanic evil:

Fresh US airstrikes on Yemen Thursday marked the single-deadliest known attack under President Donald Trump's new campaign targeting the Houthi rebels. The Pentagon has been intensely bombing Yemen since March 15, when the Gaza truce collapsed.

A Houthi spokesman announced Friday that the attacks killed 38 people and wounded 102 others. The death toll was hours later updated to at least 74 killed.

The operation mainly targeted and destroyed the Ras Isa oil port, which sent massive fireballs shooting into the night sky.

Local footage of the aftermath of the strikes has widely circulated on social media. Much of it is very graphic, showing corpses strewn across the ground as huge fires rage all around.

United States Central Command (CENTCOM) had quickly confirmed the strikes on the oil terminal. "The Houthis have continued to benefit economically and militarily from countries and companies that provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization," a statement began.

"The Iran-backed Houthis use fuel to sustain their military operations, as a weapon of control, and to benefit economically from embezzling the profits from the import. This fuel should be legitimately supplied to the people of Yemen."

Perhaps anticipating large civilian casualties, CENTCOM continued, "This strike was not intended to harm the people of Yemen, who rightly want to throw off the yoke of Houthi subjugation and live peacefully."

According to the United States . . .

. . . anyone who opposes the genocide of Palestinians at Israel's and America's hands, must be destroyed.

And thus, screw Yemen's uninvolved population of oil-requiring innocents.

The moral? — We Americans can sink no lower on morality's scale

As Caitlin Johnstone observed:

The Biden administration backed a genocide while occasionally making noises about humanitarian concerns, and now the Trump administration backs a genocide without making those noises.

Institutionalized cowardice, uninterrupted parasitism and mass murder for profit — make the ugliest and least respect-worthy of combinations.
