๐บ๐ธ๐พ๐ช - The Biden Administration has completely failed in every conceivable measure on its foreign policy, and Yemen is just the recent pet project turned disaster.
Biden kicked off his administration very early on with an attempt to cool off the Yemeni Civil War by removing Ansar Allah, the Houthis, from the United States' foreign terrorist organization list, reversing President Trump's last minute designation in early January 2021. This ultimately culminated in a ceasefire being put on paper between Ansar Allah and the Presidential Leadership Council in April 2022. Despite the fact that the ceasefire expired in October 2023, the ceasefire has - for the most part - remained in place.
Yemen's civil war has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, largely thanks to American-supported, Saudi-led airstrikes across Houthi-controlled territory, and America's reversal of this policy in favor of mediation and peace talks initially emerged as a massive victory for the Biden administration. In some ways, one could interpret America's softening policy towards Yemen throughout the course of 2021-2023 as steps towards ending the civil war, even favoring the Houthis in a post-war scenario. However, this all went down the drain when October 7th happened.
The United States went from hating the Houthis, to softening its policy towards it, to mediating peace between the Houthis and its enemies, and now a complete 180, carrying out frequent airstrikes against them. What was once a victory - albeit minor in the grand scheme of things - has collapsed.
This failure is now intermingled with multiple other foreign policy disasters, not just with the Middle East, but with other regions. Saudi-Israeli peace talks have been indefinitely suspended. The India Middle East Economic Corridor (IMEC) is now in serious jeopardy. The Biden Administration's previous attempts to restart negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program are gone, likely never to return. All of this, coupled with America's failures in Ukraine and the as of now disastrous "Pivot to Asia" policy, has pulled the rug from underneath Biden's chances of having just one foreign policy victory in his term.
Domestically, Biden will find it impossible to champion a foreign policy victory in the 2024 election. Internationally, America's credibility, respect, and trust has been seriously damaged, and the next administration will have a hard time recuperating America back to where it once was on the world stage.

โ๏ธ - In 2018, the Doomsday Clock was set to 2 minutes until midnight (midnight being nuclear war.) In 2023, it was 90 seconds until midnight.
While the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is an irrelevant and insignificant source when it comes to measuring how close the world is to nuclear annihilation, it's still worth getting a glimpse at what the "experts" have to say about the state of the world.
P.S., the Bulletin was founded by Manhattan Project Jews, most notably Einstein.

๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ - Now that the war in Gaza has simmered down, It would be timely to discuss how Americaโs commitments to Israel and larger intervention into the Middle East have begun to strain Ukraineโs war effort.
America is having to use more of its shrinking stockpile of weapons on Yemen or give them to Israel, which is starting to display how overextended the United States is. Patriot missile system interceptors, for example, are a crucial weapon in Americaโs, Ukraineโs, and Israelโs air defense. However, because of stockpile issues, someone will get their supply cut off.
Beginning on the night of December 28th, Russia launched one of the biggest and most prolonged missile strikes on Ukraine at a scale not seen since the beginning of the war. They started with Geran FPV drones to exhaust Ukrainian air defenses, followed by Iskanders, โDaggers,โ Kh-22s, and many more types of Russian missiles of both super and hypersonic qualities, totaling over 160 projectiles in a single night. Again, on January 1st, over 100 missiles were launched. On the 7th and 13th, there were more similarly sized strikes. Besides the large strikes, there was a notable increase in the number of missiles Russia fires daily on average, rising from 5 to 10-20. The Ukrainians, who are always delighted to post any missile interception they get, were quiet, despite making up 95% of interception numbers as usual. Furthermore, the size of the strikes was so large that despite laws in place banning the recording of Russian missile strikes in Ukraine, dozens of videos were posted during the following days of large strikes. There was a noticeable lack of large missile attacks in the months before this strike as Russia spent time stockpiling months in advance. Because of the stockpiling, as mentioned earlier, it displays that these strikes were planned months in advance, hinting that these could be preludes to a sizeable Russian ground offensive in early 2024, likely towards Kharkov in the spring.
These attacks will not be the end of missile strikes over Ukraine, but they display the cracks in Ukraineโs war machine as their last remaining AD stockpiles have dried up. Ukraine already has problems replacing other critical war equipment from ongoing fighting and failed offensives across the frontlines. These airstrikes are far from the decisive blow needed to end the war; however, they highlight that as the United States becomes more distracted, the outlook for the future of Ukraine becomes dimmer.

I think itโs safe to say at this point that Elon and X are completely compromised.
The standard we were sold on in 2022 when this conversation began was that all lawful speech would be protected.
As time has gone on we have seen that this has clearly not been the case in effect, and with this update they have amended the standard to โinformation independence, excluding antisemitism.โ
This is just ridiculous. It seems the only lasting solution to censorship is a legal remedy from the federal government.
