February 8, 2017: On January 29th, US “Special Operations” forces staged an air and land assault in Yemen that Donald Trump had personally signed off on. According to a report on Business Insider, “This raid marked the first time the United States has put boots on the ground in combat in the Yemeni civil war”. Dozens of people were killed, including, according to the Independent newspaper “up to 30 civilians, including 10 women and children”. One of them was an 8-year-old girl named Nawar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen whose father and teen age brother had already been killed by U.S. forces. Sean Spicer, Trump’s spokesman, declared the raid to be “highly successful”. Invasion, night time bombing raids on sleeping children, massacred civilians – crimes against humanity like these are what the fascist Trump regime considers “success”. A massive struggle is needed to oust this regime at the earliest possible moment.
