Larry Johnson & Col. Lawrence Wilkerson discuss the incident with Danny Haiphong The shocking status of U.S. military power has been exposed by Yemen forcing an F-18 to sink off the USS Harry Truman to the bottom of the Red Sea. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson and former Chief of Staff Col. Lawrence Wilkerson call this the crisis facing America’s waning empire – and here are their comments – recorded on April 30.
Only four days later their discussion another incident confirmed their analysis: The NY Times reported on May 4 that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen struck near the main terminal of Israel’s international Ben Gurion Airport close to Tel Aviv, after the military failed to intercept the projectile.
These strikes on shipping and occasional hits inside Israel come in response to the most recent daily bombings of Yemen by the U.S., Israel and Britain that began on March 15, 2025.
