The international reaction to the Thursday night US-UK coalition bombing of Houthi positions in Yemen continues to come in, with the more interesting of the statements being issued by Turkey.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Friday statements to the press in Istanbul said that the attack would turn the Red Sea into a “bloodbath”. He also condemned the Western coalition operation as “disproportionate” despite the previous over two dozen attacks on commercial shipping of the last months by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
“First of all, they are not proportional. All of these constitute disproportionate use of force,” Erdoğan told journalists. “It is as if they aspire to turn the Red Sea into a bloodbath.”
The Turkish leader has lately been outspoken in support of Gaza, and condemnation of Israel’s military operation, but it remains somewhat surprising that the man who leads the second largest military within the NATO alliance would say things that are actually supportive of the Houthi side. Watch:
BREAKING — Erdogan says US and UK strikes in Yemen targeting the Houthis are disproportionate uses of force.
“They are eager to turn the Red Sea into a bloodbath. We see that the Houthis are making very successful defenses against the strikes”

He also praised South Africa for taking Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), underscoring that Turkey is assisting with this as well: “All the documents we have given are seriously working in The Hague and we will continue to provide these documents… I believe Israel will be found guilty,” he said. “Netanyahu no longer has a hole to run to, no means to defend.”
More predictably, Russia too condemned the strikes on Yemen, with foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova saying Friday, “We strongly condemn these irresponsible actions by the United States and its allies.” She further told reporters that Moscow has called for an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
“A large-scale military escalation in the Red Sea region could strike out the positive trends that have emerged recently in the Yemeni settlement process, as well as provoke a destabilization of the situation throughout the Middle East,” she warned.
Notably, Russia and China had on Wednesday abstained from a UNSC resolution demanding that the Houthis immediately halt all attacks on international shipping.
Below is a round-up of the Middle East regional reaction to the major Thursday night strikes on Yemen, as cited in various sources including Al Jazeera,, Daily Mail, and Reuters…
Iran’s Foreign Ministry:
“These attacks are a clear violation of Yemen’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a breach of international laws. These attacks will only contribute to insecurity and instability in the region.”
Lebanese Hezbollah:
“The American aggression confirms once again that the U.S. is a full partner in the tragedies and massacres committed by the Zionist enemy in Gaza and the region.”
“Hezbollah strongly condemns the blatant American-British aggression against brotherly Yemen, its security and sovereignty, and its free and honorable people, which stood with all strength, courage and responsibility alongside the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance, and did their utmost to break the siege on it by all available means and capabilities.”
Iraq’s Shia militias:
“Today’s aggression against Yemen has doubled the solidarity of the peoples with the Axis of Resistance and the right of its sacred cause to stand against tyranny.”
Saudi Arabia
“The Kingdom is following with great concern the military operations in the Red Sea region and the raids on sites in Yemen. We stress the importance of maintaining the security and stability of the Red Sea region and call for restraint and avoiding escalation.”

And China is urging calm, with foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning saying, “China is concerned about the escalation of tensions in the Red Sea.” She added: “We urge the relevant parties to keep calm and exercise restraint, to prevent the conflict from expanding.”

“Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a deadly U.S. strike on Yemen’s Houthis on Thursday night from his hospital room, the Pentagon revealed Friday.”
Sure he did.

Seems every county against military action is engaged in military action – or by proxy – against various and sundry opponents. It’s confusing and ironic at the same time.
The big question is __Will the air strikes accomplish what is needed? Will ground troops be needed ? Maybe we should mind our own business.
Houthis are the Honey Badger of the ME
wah wah wah….words words words. who is doing the talking? who is doing the bombing?
From the tldm.org website:
Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies… https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/ These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
THE APOCALYPSE
Veronica-I’m looking up, and the sky’s becoming very lighted. And I am seeing thousands and thousands of people marching. But they look like Chinese, or Mongolian. No, they’re-I believe they’re Chinese; they’re Asiatic. They’re marching across the land, and they’re boarding some kind of transport. They’re going onto the water. Oh, it’s a great War. Oh! Oh!
Now Michael is coming over to the left side of the flagpole, and he’s looking down.
St. Michael-“My child, we have asked you to send the word to mankind that they will read in the Book of life, the Bible, the words given to them that will fulfill the prophecy of the latter days, Apocalypse. You are living the days of the Revelations. Read them and be knowledgeable, and you will not be caught without the light.” – St. Michael, June 8, 1974
RUSSIA PLANS ATTACK
“My child and My children, I wish that you all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout the world, your country, the United States, and Canada. I warn you again that Russia plans an attack upon the United States.
“You must remember, My children, when you accept the talkings and the words of an atheist: there is no honor in the atheist. There is no truth in the atheist. They will cajole you, and buy you, until you no longer are what is called a ‘free nation,’ but you will be enslaved-if they do not kill the multitudes before, My child. I say ‘if,’ because it is their plan to destroy your nation and rebuild it by themselves. The cost of life means nothing to them, as you can recognize in all of the countries around your world that have been invaded by Russia, or Russia is the secret agent giving over the firearms and the destructive missiles to destroy the United States and Canada.” – Our Lady, September 14, 1985
RUSE
Shortly after Veronica finished reading the articles in the daily newspaper pertaining to the “demise” of communism in the Soviet Union, and the subsequent birth of the new Commonwealth of Independent States, Our Lady appeared in what Veronica perceived as a message expressed in desperation:
“Do not be deceived. Their father is the father of all liars: satan. Their master plan is in motion. Pray for the light. Minds are clouded. I repeat: it is a ruse. Wake up America or you will suffer much.” – Our Lady, December 18, 1991
“FOR IT IS THEIR PLAN TO SUBDUE YOU, ONCE THEY GET THE BILLIONS THAT THEY NEED IN AID”
“As I counseled you all in the past, I said to you as quote: ‘This is a ruse,’ I repeat again. This is the visit to your country, the once great and Illustrious United States of the world, the nation, the United States of America, the illustrious country that now is leading into a path of darkness. This has been allowed because of the dire straits of your nation. The morality has now been cast aside. Darkness has fallen upon mankind….
“I tell you now, and I will not tell you again. This is the last time you will receive this counsel.
“As in the past Lenin, as in the past Stalin, and Khrushchev; and many others had tried to deceive the United States. They all felt that by trying to ensnare you with delusions of casting aside their communistic aspirations, that they had become as you, a free nation for all.
“I assure you, My children, there is no freedom in Russia. It is all a delusion.
“They seek the monies of the world from the nations of the world. And why do you not learn a lesson? It happened in the time of Lenin; it happened in the time of Stalin. And there you are all on the same road, ready to give billions of monies that should be given to those of your nation and the free nations of the world.
“Do not be deceived, My children, Russia is not free. It is a cosmetic act to delude you. Lenin and Stalin used the same tactics, My children. Why do you not learn from your errors?”
Veronica – Our Lady now, Our Lady is crying. Now She is looking up and She says:
Our Lady – “My tears fall on you, My children. And I must give you also the conclusion to what I have spoken to you of. Lenin and Stalin are not with Us. They were cast off to meet with their god, the prince of darkness, satan.
“It behooves Me to say, and it tears My heart in anguish, that they did not seek to be saved. For those who approach them, as they will approach you in your nation and try to convince you that their way of life without the Eternal Father was a way that should be adopted by all – no, My children!
“I repeat again, because this will be my last discourse to the world on this subject: This man, these two men are of the same creed, color, spirituality – or should I say, My children, lack of spirituality. They have a father who is the father of all liars, so what does it make them, My children – Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Yeltsin, Gorbachev?
“That is the same old plan, My children, and those leaders of your nation are as blind as they were in the past. I tell you for your own good, My children of the United States of America, that once was a nation under God and indivisible, that you will fall! If you do not come out of your slumber now, you will fall!
“For it is their plan to subdue you, once they get the billions that they need in aid, to bring up the economy and buy more armaments. They have not disposed of their armaments, My child and My children. They store them in other nations. They have the same goals as their forefathers.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1992
The Jews totally control South Africa and have used genocide against the whites there forever. So the nation of Israel will be taken down because they know that, or more accurately Lucifer knows that by sacrificing Israel to its death, with Israel the entire western powers and especially the US will go down also and permanently.
How can It best be achieved? The total take down if the free western powers can be achieved if the war against Israel is fought by Russia and China aligned with BRICS-11 and Iran, against Israel and they side with Israel and they will because the west stands with israel like the idiots they are, no matter what.
It will cost them everything, they are like an old lady giving her entire fortune slowly to some Nigerian con man she only knows online as a romantic partner she never met but who just wants her money, all of it, then he will just vanish just like Israel will and move into their new home the ethnically cleansed Ukraine, the new big Israel with all the money they stole from the West.
It is a new con game.
But the real total destruction will be economic.
Israel is just an anchor around the neck of the western powers that will take it down. Like a drowning person taking down the one trying to
Save them. But it is all preplanned. Like the lady with the chef of Obama, who pretended she was drowning and instead drowned the chef when he tried to save her.
It is all a set up.
The Jews are consummate con artists in all they do.
They blackmail all the people who join their satanic groups, they even blackmail all in attendance at the bohemian grove, after getting them to participate in evil acts against children there and sacrificial victims including children and babies.
Whatever the people who take the Jews money do will be something they can be blackmailed for so the Jews can then take back that money and even more in favors that are criminal when they want more money, so they can also blackmail them even further forever like Biden and Son as an example.
Israel will burn in ww3. So will the west.
Russia and china-will attack the west and blame them for siding with Israel and come out smelling like saviors of the world when they destroy the entire western civilization. Winner take all.
Israel has been set up from the beginning to be a noose around the neck of the west that slowly tightens until we are all dead.
They have all our leaders blackmailed.
The Jews are international globalists they have no homeland.
They are nation destroyers they move on after they have destroyed a nation.
They used Israel like honey pot to take down the west.
They are laughing at us.
WW3 will be the death of the pro Israel western powers, and we all know it is coming. We are like the family of the lady being fleeced by a Nigerian scammer. Watching her give all her money away in a con game with a delusion of helping her faux future husband, until she sells her house and has nothing left.
It is tragic what us coming. We can’t stop our stupid leaders from destroying this once great and beautiful nation we love so much.
Our leaders are morons. Biden is a moron.
These Jews are Nigerian scammers and our leaders are just really stupid people.
It’s beyond Tragic it’s is a nightmare that never ends and only gets worse.
The Jews want Russia and china to level Israel, so they can move up to big Israel and down to Africa where this war will spread.
They will take all of Africa. They will genocide all the blacks in Africa next slowly just like they did Palestine.
God help us all.
I am sure North Korea will be tricked into taking part in this ww3 Jewish con to take down America and the free western civilization and make any survivors into slaves in gulags in Siberia or worse china.
When goods stop crossing borders, missiles begin. This was inevitable. Fucking with global commerce is the ONE red line that NO ONE crosses with impunity. I knew the retribution would be swift and devastating.
