"Seven years ago, Saudi Arabia launched a military intervention against the Houthis in Yemen. The Saudi-led coalition’s intervention was supposed to be a quick victory against an upstart Iranian-backed group and a feather in the cap of the newly named Saudi defense minister, Mohammed bin Salman, the heir-apparent to the aging King. That victory remains elusive. Instead, Saudi Arabia is now in a worse strategic situation than when it entered the Yemen conflict in March 2015."

Since March 2015, over 23,000 airstrikes have been launched by the coalition in Yemen, killing or injuring over 18,000 civilians. Living in a country subjected to an average of 10 airstrikes per day has left millions feeling far from safe,” the UN Group of Eminent International and Regional Experts on Yemen stated in its report.

While there have been thousands slaughtered with US-backed airstrikes, the blockades imposed by the US and its allied states are wrecking far more havoc. As Antiwar.com reports, humanitarian groups agreed that the air war conducted by the KSA and UAE caused the most civilian damage and casualties. Along with the de facto blockade imposed by the royal states and their hireling “coalition” partners, the result has been horrific. Nearly 400,000 civilians, an astonishing 70 percent of them children, have died, most from disease or malnutrition. Millions have been displaced.

“We’re also stepping up our diplomacy to end the war in Yemen – a war which has created humanitarian and strategic catastrophe. … This war has to end. And to underscore our commitment, we are ending all American support for offensive operations in the war in Yemen, including relevant arms sales,” Biden said a year ago.

But, like all politicians do, he lied and last week, just like Obama and Trump before him, Biden swore his allegiance to the terrorist Saudi regime, noting, “The President underscored the U.S. commitment to support Saudi Arabia in the defense of its people and territory from these attacks and full support for UN-led efforts to end the war in Yemen.”

The war in Yemen could be over tomorrow if we just stopped supporting Saudi Arabia. But as we are entangled in a web of oil and death with the Saudi King, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, that likely won’t happen without mass protests in the United States. Sadly, that is just as unlikely as the US withdrawing support for Saudi Arabia.

Hundreds of thousands of children are dying in a state-sponsored genocide.

All Yemen has to do is stop attacking SA and it would be over…

But hey I’m with you guys with your new rules where if they hit you with conventional then you get to nuke those people…

All we have to do is make it retroactive to 9/11/2001 and we can get rid of a lot of human vermin…
