Feel sort of torn on the Trump tariffs. On the one hand, I think they make no sense as economic policy and will leave everyone poorer.

I don't buy the libertarian free trade arguments, but the US industrial base has been gutted for decades now, and only years of industrial planning and capital investment in tandem with tariffs would actually achieve what Trump wants. People pointing to other golden ages of American nationalist economic prosperity seem to be missing this. And that's just putting aside the utterly incoherent way the tariff rates have been decided.

On the other hand, Trump is probably single-handedly destroying the global free trade order America itself spearheaded since WW2, which is going to seriously throw a wrench in the establishment political order across the West. This is Trump's Bane moment.

🇾🇪/🇾🇪 Yemeni pro-government forces are reportedly preparing to launch a ground offensive aimed at retaking the strategic port city of Hodeidah, according to officials speaking to CNN. The planned operation is expected to be backed by coordinated Saudi and U.S. air and naval support.

The decision to pursue a ground assault comes amid growing assessments that continued airstrikes alone have stopped short of halting the Iranian-backed Houthi group’s persistent drone and ballistic missile attacks targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

📝 Carolina Lion: "It looks like we are going to try to replicate the Northern Alliance plus air support campaign of Afghanistan 2001."

📝 Cobalt Anon: "Pro-Government" forces in Yemen tends to be synonymous with a hodgepodge of UAE-backed mercenaries from East Africa. Think Haftar's Libya, Chad, RSF's Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, M23's Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somaliland, Puntland, Jubaland, and STC separatists from Southern Yemen.

Yediot Ahronot report is surprising, in that Israel is no longer seeking a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran, and that Israel may go alone.

Israel only requests from the US to "push for a tougher nuclear deal after the attack."
