Our intervention, this was not a direct overt war, but America, Israel, Saudi, Qatar, and Turkey all backed the bin Ladenites in Syria, completely destroyed Syria to the point where the caliphate grew up.

And then we had to launch Iraq War III to destroy the caliphate again.

And so I'm not seeing the peace through strength.

I'm seeing permanent militarism and permanent war through strength.

Let me say real quick, and I promise I'm going to say one thing and then I'll stop.

You made your point.

I just I just want to add it's a really important point, OK, is grassroots effort.

There is no Houthi lobby in America.

It was grassroots.

efforts by libertarians quakers and leftists to get war powers resolutions introduced in trump's first term to stop the war in yemen which was launched not for israel for saudi arabia and uae by barack obama in 2015 that's not a first afghan war wasn't about israel either okay but this yemen war was i thought 9-11 was about israel

Well, it was in great part.

But the decision to sack Kabul and do a regime change and all that had nothing to do with the Likud whatsoever.

Other than, well, we got to keep the war going long enough to go to Baghdad.

OK, so it was Israel's fault.

I was in the middle of saying about the war in Yemen that we got the war powers resolution through twice and Trump vetoed it twice.

And his man, Pete Navarro, explained to The New York Times.

But this was just welfare for American industry.

A lot of industrialists were angry about the tariffs disrupting trade with China.

And somehow they substituted Raytheon for all American industry somehow and said industry will be happy if we funnel a lot of money to Raytheon.

That's Pete Navarro talking to The New York Times about why they continued the war in Yemen throughout Trump's entire first term.
