Saudi Arabia Bombs Yemen: US Weapons, US Approval, US Silence
France 24 reports Saudi Arabia's bombing of Mukalla, Yemen, targeting a UAE weapons shipment to separatists. What they omit? This isn't just Saudi Arabia deciding to bomb. It's US-supplied F-15s, F-16s, and F-35s — weapons systems transferred with Congressional approval, often after a quick chat with powerful lobbyists. Since 2015, the US has sold Saudi Arabia and the UAE over $100 billion in
arms, fueling a war in Yemen that's killed hundreds of thousands, creating what the UN called the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Yet, magically, when 'our allies' drop bombs, it's just 'regional dynamics,' not 'aggression' or 'war crimes,' unlike, say, anyone else. One might wonder, how many civilian casualties does it take to lose 'ally' status?
