Their leadership described the attacks as aiming to end the Israeli war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. 
The Houthis suspended their retaliation since the ceasefire began. However, after Israel implemented a total blockade of humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza last week, Houthi leaders threatened to again begin blocking Israel's Red Sea shipping activities. Trump responded with a barrage of bombs that killed at least 53 people, including women and children. He also threatened to bomb Iranian ships. Ron Paul says the US should leave the Middle east and that Israel's war on Gaza is not our war. 

US Representative Thomas Massie revealed that the military industrial complex (MIC) demands about $50 billion a year from our government, above and beyond what's necessary to defend our own country. He gave examples of wars that shut down and are replaced with new ones so that the MIC is paid off.

Regarding US activity in Yemen: I recently said to watch for a new military engagement to compensate for the pull back in Ukraine. The Military Industrial Complex demands about $50 billion a year from our government, above and beyond what's necessary to defend our own country.

The military industrial complex demands about $50 billion per year in war. As soon as we quit spending $50b per year in Afghanistan, we started spending $50b per year in Ukraine. Watch where the next $50b per year goes when we stop sending it to Ukraine. The MIC is always hungry.

From Ron Paul:

President Trump: Stop Bombing Yemen and Exit the Middle East!

Over the weekend President Trump ordered a massive military operation against the small country of Yemen. Was Yemen in the process of attacking the United States? No. Did the President in that case go to Congress and seek a declaration of war against the country? No. The fact is, Yemen hadn't even threatened the United States before the bombs started falling.
