Considering the source, I’m calling bullshit.
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.
The account has a blue checkmark. Musk be real.
The https://x.com/yemenarmyeng musk be a fake account. They dont have blue checkmark
You must be right!
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

The check mark is provided by Twitter.
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.
I’m choosing to believe it’s real on the ground 5 that it would be very funny
And even if if it was true. 30 Million is nothing for the US Military
20 x 30M is a number than gets some attention
Congress can sneeze and spend $600 million. It’s still a rounding error.
I mean, you’re both right here
Haven’t confirmed anything, but saw this too.
I also like how their profile picture is one guy. Like this one man is the entire military.
That’s John Yemen.
I wouldn’t call it “wholesome”, but it’s funny for sure.
Do I hear 22?
When they get up to 22 they better let the kid out of the hangar.
