Resistance Triumphs as Trump Stirs Up Dust Behind Him
Yemen adheres to a practical principle in all its convictions, consistently linking words with action. The nation’s firm belief is that the Arab world’s descent into weakness and humiliation is due to a persistent disconnect between rhetoric and action, a trait deeply ingrained in Arab political systems. Political discourse has long been characterized by excessive reliance on words, often becoming the subject of satire as Arab politicians flood election seasons with hollow promises.
With the methodology that faith demands, Yemen has, in a short period, established a distinctive and sincere national character—one that champions the oppressed and opposes injustice and tyranny. Last Thursday, the world listened attentively to Sayyid al-Houthi’s speech, recognizing his credibility. It is now clear beyond doubt that he is a man of both word and deed; when he speaks, he acts, and he only speaks when he is certain of his capabilities. His stern warning to the United States was not made in vain—it was rooted in absolute confidence in his ability to follow through.
Yemen: Determination and Capability
Both Americans and Zionists analyzed the speech with great scrutiny, fully aware of two undeniable truths: the seriousness of Sayyid al-Houthi and his capabilities. This awareness has been reinforced over 15 months of Yemen’s steadfast support for Gaza. Since entering the battle, Yemen has continued its military operations without pause, shattering the long-standing stereotype of the passive Arab leader—one who merely talks but does not act, who retreats in times of crisis, or even sides with the enemy.
On the operational level, Yemen’s approach has been revolutionary, upending all efforts to weaken Arab military capabilities. If Arab nations were once thought incapable of defensive action, Yemen has demonstrated its ability to carry out offensive operations. This transformation is evident in its ability to strike deep inside the Zionist entity, disrupt its economy, and force Zionist settlers into shelters. At the same time, Yemen has confronted and humiliated the United States, compelling it to reconsider its presence in the Red Sea under Yemen’s terms. From experience, Washington has learned that underestimating Yemen’s warnings or attempting to bypass them has only led to repeated humiliations and strategic retreats.
Adding to its remarkable presence, Yemen has showcased exceptional technological and tactical prowess, enhancing its ballistic missiles and drones. It has successfully breached all layers of “Israeli”-American air defense systems and struck designated targets with precision. Given this track record, when Sayyid al-Houthi spoke last Thursday, both the U.S. and Zionist entity understood that disregarding his warnings could lead to dire consequences.
A Challenge Beyond America’s Capabilities
The global consensus—including the United Nations and hundreds of human rights organizations in Europe and the U.S.—acknowledges that humanity is teetering on the brink of chaos. The breakdown of systems and laws, along with the collapse of global interests, is a direct result of the reckless ambitions of the U.S., the Zionist entity, and their allies.
U.S. President Trump has consistently relied on threats and intimidation, crafting a reckless approach to international relations. He has imposed a new set of American-centric doctrines, expecting the world to conform and adjust accordingly. However, his erratic behavior has only widened the rift between the U.S. and the international community, pushing America toward becoming a pariah state.
From the first day of his second term, Trump has issued inflammatory statements lacking any diplomatic finesse, targeting all corners of the world. Yet, his most aggressive and provocative stance remains his rhetoric on Gaza. His statements on the issue have been marked by sheer arrogance, recklessness, and an utter disregard for global reactions. His threats have not only inflamed tensions but also revealed a dangerous level of political ineptitude.
Trump’s reckless policies have placed both himself and the U.S. in positions beyond their ability to manage. His blatant disregard for diplomatic norms and his belligerent rhetoric on ending the ceasefire in Gaza highlights his chaotic and authoritarian tendencies. His approach has only fueled international outrage, exposing his reliance on lies and hypocrisy—particularly evident in his ultimatum demanding the release of Zionist captives by force.
Trump’s Miscalculated Gamble
Trump believes that he can impose his will through brute force, wealth, and the world’s past submissiveness to American dominance. His strategy is built on a long history of global inaction against U.S. violations of moral and legal principles. If the world had not remained passive for so long, Trump would not have dared to act with such recklessness, trampling on the rights and sovereignty of nations.
For decades, the U.S. has defied international law, executing its plans without sparing anyone except the Zionist entity. Since the Bush era, Washington has pursued global domination under the guise of “counterterrorism,” using military invasions, occupation, and resource exploitation. Nations were subjugated, their leaders imprisoned or eliminated, and their people terrorized into submission. During that period, the world sank into a state of fear and paralysis, bending to the will of the White House.
Today, Trump, a product of the same Republican Party, seeks to etch his name into history through a new brand of Bush-era bullying. His strategy, however, differs in detail—one could call it “low-cost terrorism” or “terrorism on a budget.” By leveraging the precedent set by his predecessors, he aims to continue America’s legacy of humiliating the world, particularly Arabs and Muslims.
Yet, Trump has exposed his ignorance from the start. His slogan, “America First,” is rooted in outdated assumptions, failing to account for the shifting tides of history. His arrogance has resulted in the U.S. earning an unparalleled level of global resentment, solidifying its status as a failing power that neither understands the requirements of a stable state nor respects the conditions for peace.
Though the world remains largely passive, unwilling to directly challenge American dominance, it is now more capable than ever of maneuvering and influencing the geopolitical landscape. The only thing lacking is a firm belief in itself and the justice of its cause against U.S. hegemony. However, the emergence of Yemen as a key player is altering this dynamic, potentially inspiring nations to rethink their responses to American arrogance.
Yemen Speaks Its Truth
Yemen has openly rejected U.S. aggression without resorting to ambiguous diplomatic rhetoric. The nation views America as an unworthy partner, undeserving of respect, and Trump as an unfiltered representation of America’s true character—a country driven by chaos and global terrorism. Washington thrives on disorder, using it as a means of maintaining dominance. Yemen’s resistance is firmly grounded in religious and moral principles, making it inevitable that it would confront Trump’s crude and reckless policies head-on.
Trump’s statements not only belittle the Palestinians but also insult the intelligence of the global community. His actions reflect an unrestrained attempt to dictate a new reality—one in which Zionist desires are fulfilled at the expense of Palestinian sovereignty. His indifference to Arab nations’ right to self-determination, resources, and governance is a glaring example of his administration’s deep-seated hostility.
Sayyid al-Houthi’s warnings were not limited to countering American military intervention. He made it unequivocally clear: If the U.S. and the Zionist entity attempt to implement their plans by force or collaborate with Arab regimes to do so, Yemen will intervene militarily.
Another Defeat for Trump
Yesterday, the moment of truth arrived. The sun rose high, and the prisoner exchange proceeded as planned, under the conditions set by the resistance—without a word from Trump. The American president was forced into yet another humiliating retreat, attempting to console himself by claiming that Hamas had contradicted its earlier statements about not releasing captives.
In an act of sheer bravado, Trump added: “Israel must decide what it will do at 12 noon,” the deadline for releasing all captives, reaffirming that “the United States will support whatever decision Israel makes.” Yet, as the dust settles, it is clear: once again, Trump has been outmaneuvered.
