How long before Trump "invades" Yemen?

[kentuck]

Why Yemen?

Because they embarrassed him and made him look weak in his first military adventure.

He will be focused on no one but Yemen because that is his nature. He hits back hard at those that attack him.

My guess is that the plans are already being made. Of course, it will take a while to get the troops and the ships in place. (Maybe two or three weeks)

He has already shown his inclination for military actions. It's just a matter of time, in my opinion.

I wonder how many young Americans are ready to die for this Commander-in-Chief?

1. Well that could be Trump's Granada it pumped Reagan's polls

up. Nothing Americans like more than putting a boot up some small country's ass. Toby
Keith will write a song about it.

6. And what do you find there?

No oil im Yemen, no millionaires.

8. You find the Gate of Tears.

If you don't know what that is, or its strategic importance, you might want to research the intense fighting there over the past month.

9. This would include a sort of knowledge that Mr. Trump has not, IMHOP.

There is nothing where he could get some money from. So he is not interested. Strategic importance?
Intense fighting? Yes, from the Saudis. He is not interested.

5. I think he'd prefer a HOP at home

Funny how these chicken hawks love war

7. I get what you're saying

...but look at the history of the introduction of some 125 military 'advisors' and their subsequent, sudden removal when the government changed.

Yemen is mountainous and combat operations there would be a risky and dangerous prospect with little to gain.

That would be strongly resisted by the Pentagon.

10. But Trump looks at it differently...

It's not military strategy - it's personal.
