Written by Daniel Mercado

A Houthi weapon Depot in Yemen has been the target of multiple American airstrikes. According to a CNN article, 5 underground Houthi arsenals have been bombed by US Airforce and US Navy B-2 stealth bombers. [1] These strikes were approved by President Joe Biden as a way to diminish war making capacities of the Houthis.

Secretary of Defense Llyod Austin stated that, “U.S. forces targeted several of the Houthis' underground facilities housing various weapons components of types that the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region.” [2]

The US has previously conducted an airstrike against the Houthis back on the fourth of this month, destroying “weapons systems, bases and other equipment” according to an AP article. [3]

Why I’m a Hoxhist - and why you should be too.

The Marxist-leninists have it wrong. Their so-called “soviet councils” and “centralized economies” are highly vulnerable to outside assaults - pragmatism can’t save you from opportunism - only the five foot thick wall of concrete that is ideological purity can. When you open your mind to new ideals, it becomes dangerously weak. The more you spread your ideology thin through the integration of disparate thought processes, the more it becomes nearly impossible to achieve your vision. You can’t praxis if you’re trying to praxis a thousand different little things. But if your mind was set on one, beautiful, Albanian man…
