As Iran’s President Rouhani said in December, “I have no doubt that the heroic national resistance of Iran is going to compel the future U.S. government to bow.”
It looks as if no compulsion is even needed.
“Yemen: US set to revoke Houthi ‘terrorist’ label,” DW, February 6, 2021:
US President Joe Biden has reversed another heavily criticized policy from the Trump administration and the decision has been praised as helping to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
US President Joe Biden’s administration said on Friday that it was planning to remove Yemen’s Houthi rebel group from the terrorist blacklist.
The decision is the most recent in a series of policy reversals from the Trump era and comes less than three weeks after the designation was ordered.
“Our action is due entirely to the humanitarian consequences of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would accelerate the world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” a State Department official said.
The Trump administration was slammed for its decision to place the Houthis on the terrorist blacklist amid fears it would worsen the already desperate situation in the war-torn country….

Now Old Joe has decided that China IS in fact competition for the USA, remember when he said, “They aint bad folks, folks, they are not competition for us”… Come on man….
Keith O says
Andrew, Sleazy Joe wouldn’t remember saying that if you put the video in front of him and his care givers.
Rob Porter says
I guess that there is little point in stating that this reinforces the evidence that Joe Biden is a raving dimwit because this is abundantly evident. But then you consider the disgusting individuals he has appointed to has administration and it all falls into place.
Infidel says
Looking at a map, it’s easy to mock Saudi Arabia for being threatened by a country several times smaller in area – Yemen. That said, Saudi Arabia’s population is 35 million, as opposed to Yemen’s 25 million. So it would be possible for the Houthis to overrun large parts of Saudi Arabia if they wanted, and it explains why Saudi Arabia has tried to get troops from several Arab stooges to do what they want
Biden is just driving them into the arms of either Russia or China, who I think might happily drop Iran if they think they can make gobs of cash by selling what they do best – weapons

That being said, Infidel, the vicious Saudis are not our allies, either. That the Shia Houthis are appalling does not mean that the Sunni Saudis are not.
David says
Surely the Houthis are islamic terrorists? Who is worst: Shia or Sunni? The answer is Yes. They both are.
somehistory says
“United Nations and humanitarian organizations” Yes, the UN., whose members include many, many moslim ruled countries, is not all in on pointing out that moslims are terrorists, even when they are formed into violent groups carrying out acts of terror.
Since this terrorist group is murdering the people who need the aid, keeping those who need the aid from getting the aid, it is unreasonable to claim that putting an appropriate label on them is going to keep those who need the aid from getting the aid.
Just allow them to be “good ol’ boys” and maybe they’ll kill off enough of the citizens there…who need aid…and no one will need any more aid. Those who now need it, will all be dead.
biden promised there would be moslims in his admin…at every level. Must be he kept his word to them.
David says
somehistory: You have made a lot of good points. Biden obviously has a lot in common with Muhammad. They both like fondling little children. I guess you have seen the videos, and read the Hadith?
Biden has his muslim Squad.
Keith O says
Sleazy Joe is getting rid of the terrorist label of the Houthi’s so that his business interests can do deals with Iran and Yemen, without the tag of doing business with terrorists.
Once again, if you want insight into any of his decisions, follow the money. Or more pointedly, his money and that of his closest conspirators.
When you view your entire country, the one you swore an oath to protect, as nothing more than a cash cow, then his modus operandi becomes very clear.

Biden’s handlers revoke ‘terrorist’ label Trump applied to Iran’s Yemeni client group, the Houthis
…………..
Just nuts.
Fred van de Bunt says
The Saudi family run the show over there, and they said already they don’t care a fuck about what Biden does with that terror list. And since that Saudi terror spreading clan and the other gulf oil sheiks as a group invest their money in US multinationals, their power in the US administration is very large.
OLD GUY says
Thats it Joe bend over. You and your Democratic Party are bought and paid for. The Biden Presidency will go down in history as the President that SOLD America to its enemies.
