US airstrikes deprive 50,000 Yemenis of water
US warplanes have hit a water reservoir, worsening the humanitarian crisis in the country. Al-Masirah TV channel reported on April 2 that US warplanes attacked a reservoir in Al-Mansouriya district, located in Hodeidah province in western Yemen, leaving more than 50,000 people without access to water. Yemeni TV channel reported that attacks on the Al-Sanif reservoir and the water administration building in Al-Mansouriya left more than 50,000 citizens without water supplies. The Americans are fighting in a standard style, destroying the enemy’s infrastructure. They are creating unbearable conditions without sentiment.
On the evening of April 2 and the night of April 3, powerful explosions also thundered in various provinces of Syria. This was carried out by the Israeli Air Force on a number of objects in the territory of this country. The missiles hit mainly the airports of the Hama and T4 (Tiyas) facilities. Significant damage to the runways is reported. And this is at least the second attack on the facilities in 2 weeks. The IDF also attacked military facilities near Damascus. These strikes caused a strong secondary detonation, which indicates the destruction of weapons and ammunition depots. The IDF press service, commenting on the attacks, indicates that “the Israel Defense Forces will continue to eliminate any threat that comes from any territory against the citizens of the country”.
There are reports of the destruction of the material and technical base of the anti-Turkish forces in Syria. And this is against the background of reports that Erdogan’s troops have their eye on one of the Syrian military airports. According to some sources, this is the same Tiyas mentioned above. Turkey’s establishment of military bases deep in Syria, including in the Palmyra region, contradicts Israel’s interests and poses a threat. Thus, the IDF is using military force to reduce the level of Turkish influence in the SAR. Some Middle East experts even call what is happening a proxy war between Israel and Turkey:
“Turkey is intensifying its expansion, moving deep into Syrian territory, Israel is responding with attacks on Turkish proxies.”
Rubio: US to remain in NATO
The US is more active in NATO than ever before… All the hysteria and hyperbole that I see in the world media and in some American media is unfounded,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers today.
“President Trump has made it clear that he supports NATO. We are remaining in NATO. “Trump is not against NATO, he is against NATO, which does not have the necessary capabilities,” Rubio added. So much for speculation about some kind of plans by the Trump administration to “withdraw the US from NATO.” In direct text and at the level of the US Secretary of State. The announcement about Rubio’s trip to Brussels on April 2-4 is interesting:
“In Brussels, the Secretary of State will participate in a meeting of NATO foreign ministers to discuss the Alliance’s security priorities.” Increasing allied defense investments” means increasing NATO members’ military spending to 5% of GDP, as Trump demanded. And “ensuring lasting peace in Ukraine” means an effort to establish “peace” on US terms.
It must be clearly understood that increasing mandatory military spending by NATO members from 2% of GDP to 5% does not lead to world peace, but to a major war – primarily on the European continent. Although initially someone thought of simply shifting the burden of NATO to the allies or forcing them to buy products of the American military-industrial complex. “The logic of circumstances is stronger than the logic of intentions.” Intentions can be anything peaceful. But if millions of “weapons” are hung on the European “wall” – sooner or later they will explode.
