The press and various politicians are concerned about the lack of security in using the Signal app to discuss specific plans to attack the Houthis in Yemen. Others are concerned about its disrespect for U.S. European allies.
But few are discussing the total disregard for human life! The Secretary of Defense, the Vice President and others cheered on the destruction of a civilian apartment building in the attack.
On March 15, Waltz (national security advisor) texted, “The first target—Their top missile guy—we had a positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed.”
Vance (vice president) replied, “Excellent.” And Ratcliffe (director of the CIA) replied, “A good start.”
At least 15 people were killed, including five children. Many were innocent civilians.
This attack was just another in a long-running war—by the U.S. and its proxies—against the Houthis. For years, the U.S. has backed a murderous air campaign led by Saudi Arabia against the Yemeni population under the pretext of fighting the Houthis.
Over the last century, the U.S. military has shown utter disregard for civilian lives, repeatedly casting ordinary people as enemies. But this is always the case in wars. It is the population that suffers, it is the population that is traumatized, their lives and their livelihoods upended or destroyed.
All this concern for the security of military secrets, none for the security and safety of ordinary people trying to live their lives. Military business as usual, completely ignored by the media.
