In Kramnik’s boring reality, the case is limited to statements from the press release of the US 6th Fleet.
https://t.me/kramnikcat/6488 about the collision of an aircraft carrier with a civilian vessel. Of course, the Houthis’ statements of December 30, 2024 about the attack on this aircraft carrier do not fit into this boring reality of the US Navy press releases, because American gentlemen need to take their word for it (as well as about fighter jets that fell off the coast of Yemen and accidentally drowned Marines).
Meanwhile.
The Yemeni armed forces, controlled by the Houthis, conducted three military operations, one of them targeting an American aircraft carrier, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Sari said in a telegram channel.
The targets of the two strikes were the airport. Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv and a power plant south of Jerusalem, the report said. Another joint operation of the Yemeni Navy, missile forces and air force was directed against the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (“Harry Truman”).
Al Mayadeen TV channel, citing Yahya Sari, clarifies that the attack was carried out using missiles and drones.
The aircraft carrier was also attacked by missiles and drones on January 10, 2025. This is all down to statements about collisions with a merchant ship. All US Navy press releases claimed that the Houthis had failed to achieve hits. The Houthi command, on the contrary, reported that it had achieved a hit on the aircraft carrier. Of course, in the polite company of gentlemen reading out Pentagon press releases, there can be no faith in these bearded barbarians.
In practice, in the boring real world, the United States has been claiming since January of this year that the Houthis did not hit the aircraft carrier, but the hole was caused by a collision, and the Houthis claim both then and now that they hit, the hole has not yet been repaired and it is being hidden from Trump behind the flag, as reported by the American press. Sometimes the Yemen war needs to be followed a little further than the headlines.
