BBC Discovers 'Treason' in Yemen, Forgets Airstrikes Started With 'Intervention'
The BBC's recent article highlights Yemeni separatist leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi being branded a 'traitor' for failing to report to Riyadh, while Saudi Arabia launches airstrikes. Funny how 'treason' only applies to those who don't follow Saudi directives, not the foreign powers bombing the country for years. This isn't a domestic dispute; it's a proxy war theater, generously equipped by Western
arms. Remember all those Lockheed Martin and Raytheon stocks soaring? The US alone approved over $28 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia from 2015-2022, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). OpenSecrets reveals how many politicians, whose constituents foot the bill for these arms, also receive contributions from defense contractors. Conveniently, the
'treason' narrative distracts from the humanitarian catastrophe caused by this externally fueled conflict. One might wonder who the real instigators of instability are, and why certain media outlets prefer to only show one act of the opera.
