Trump v. Houthis: Who Backed Down


Listen Later

The video discusses confusion and conflicting narratives surrounding a supposed ceasefire between the U.S. and the Houthis in the Red Sea. President Trump claimed the Houthis “capitulated,” said they wouldn’t attack ships anymore, and that the U.S. would halt bombings in response—not as part of a formal deal but based on their word. However, the Houthis deny surrendering and assert that if the U.S. stops attacking them, they’ll refrain from attacking U.S. ships—but will continue targeting vessels headed to Israel. This contradiction raises doubts about whether a ceasefire truly exists. The U.S. State Department echoed the idea that the Houthis made a verbal commitment, but emphasized they would be judged by their actions, not just words.

The video highlights that Israeli officials were unaware of any agreement and are dissatisfied. It also details the disproportionate U.S. military costs in the region—estimated at $3 billion and including the loss of several F-18 jets. The speaker questions the sustainability and strategic value of the U.S. mission, expressing skepticism that the Houthis will cease attacks given their resilience and past behavior.

Lastly, Senator Lindsey Graham's comments are criticized for pushing confrontation with Iran, suggesting the Houthi threat is ultimately driven by Iranian support. The speaker warns that calls for war with Iran are naive and dangerous, lacking foresight about the broader consequences.
