Signal Chat Logs Expose Worse Than Security Lapse: Deep State Corruption and War Crimes Allegations
Vice President Vance initially opposed a U.S. strike on Houthi militants in Yemen, citing potential public misunderstanding and negative economic consequences, particularly oil price spikes. Defense Secretary Hegseth and National Security Advisor Waltz advocated for the strikes, framing them as vital for restoring freedom of navigation and deterring Iran, regardless of direct U.S. economic interests. Despite Vance’s reservations, the strikes proceeded, resulting in civilian casualties and raising questions about the efficacy of the strategy. The incident reveals a disregard for a narrow focus on American interests and a continuation of a broader, interventionist foreign policy.
