US President Donald Trump decided Sunday not to join Saudi Arabia in strikes against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis for now, after previously directing the Pentagon to prepare for airstrikes, the New York Times reported, citing administration officials. The Times reported Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had urged Trump to intervene against the Houthis, prompting the president to reverse an earlier reluctance and order preparations for strikes. By midday Sunday, however, Trump had changed course again and held off on the operation, according to the report. Commanders had approved target lists and troops were loading bombs onto US warplanes when the planned attack was halted, the Times reported, citing people briefed on the operation. The report said much of Trump’s inner circle was skeptical or opposed to opening another front while the US military was already strained by the war with Iran.

US supply chains for electronics suck so much AMD found a business opportunity in dumping US military chips for 1/4 of the cost in China. US list price is $36k for this chip, with $4-5k to US companies at volume, but it's getting quoted $1k in China to crowdfunding campaigns AMD needs to be investigated for treason. it's not just export violations, but it's literally selling military end use components to an adversary for less than your home country.... Pharma companies are also similarly treasonous
