Pretty sure that’s fake. Why would the yemeni military (who are in a civil war against the huthis) shoot down US drones (which are targeting the Huthis, not the yemeni military)?

Caitlin Johnston has had some insane takes over the years and constantly parrots Russian propaganda, even as Russia was invading Ukraine and up to now.

I don’t care if us drones are actually getting destroyed but given how naive a lot of Caitlin’s takes are I would want a second and third source confirmation before believing this.

I’m so glad that we live in a world where the only thing that can’t be photoshopped is a blue check mark /s

You could always shop the verified checkmark. Now you can just buy one that marks you as “verified” at the source. That’s the real problem.

Congress can sneeze and spend $600 million. It’s still a rounding error.
