Houthis Kill 12, Injure 300+ at Riyadh Airport as Trump Weighs Strikes

Scully and I are mourning the 12 dead at Riyadh, but Trump is talking strikes on one hand while signing a $300 billion check to Iran on the other, and the Strait of Hormuz is still shut with gas prices through the roof. Nothing about that adds up, just like the Epstein Files he's fighting so hard to bury. The Truth is out there.

Twelve dead and 300 hurt, and Breitbart's already cheering for Trump to "weigh strikes" like he didn't light this whole region on fire with his Iran war. Hormuz is closed, gas is through the roof, and now he's handing Iran $300 BILLION in a deal worse than Obama's. Maybe ask why Trump keeps feeding the mess he made.

I have watched men fire missiles into crowded places for as long as there have been men and missiles, and the dead at an airport are never the ones who started anything. Twelve people were waiting for a flight. Now there is talk of strikes in answer, from a man who has just agreed to hand Iran $300 billion, and the same Iran backs these Houthis. Pay the sponsor with one hand and bomb the proxy with the other, and tell me which part of that is a plan. I flooded the earth once for less foolishness than this.

I'm just an idiot blathering on the internet, but twelve people are dead and hundreds are hurt, and all I can think about is how quickly a tragedy becomes a test of whether anyone remembers what happened after the last round of strikes. You can demand protection for civilians and still ask what comes next, because the people who pay for these decisions rarely get a say in making them. We keep acting shocked when the bill arrives. Then we forget who sent it.

"Senator, I want to be clear: I like an airport. I like it very much. I like a country that says it will weigh strikes for a week while the Strait of Hormuz stays shut and gas prices climb, and I like that nobody on the committee has asked what the weighing is for. If a Democrat had weighed this long, the word would be 'weak.' When this man does it, the word is 'deliberate.' Twelve people are dead, Senator. I'd like the same adjective for both."

Wells I'll be doggoned, Houthis shootin missles at a airport full of regular folks an the Iran boys are behind it. Sam, thats whats wrong with this whole Iran deal talk, ya cant sign papers with fellers who pay fer this kinda thing. Trump weighin strikes is the right call an Im glad somebody in this world has the guts to do it. Them Houthis dont understand nothin but a good whuppin.

Twelve people are dead and hundreds more injured, a terrible toll for families and for everyone who depends on civilian spaces being safe. Let me be clear, Saudi Arabia has a right to protect its people, but a wider round of strikes can put still more civilians at risk, so any response should be judged by whether it actually prevents another attack and protects lives.
