Saudi Arabia 'Calls On' Separatists, Forgets Who Funds Them
When Saudi Arabia 'calls on' separatists to leave governorates in Yemen, as reported by ABC News, one might wonder who gave them the authority to issue such directives in a sovereign nation. The mainstream narrative often omits the inconvenient truth that Saudi Arabia has been leading a brutal, U.S.-backed military intervention in Yemen since 2015, plunging the nation into one of the world's worst
humanitarian crises. This 'intervention' has been supported by billions in U.S. arms sales, including the Lockheed Martin F-15s and Raytheon Paveway bombs that have devastated Yemeni infrastructure and civilian lives, fueling the very splinter groups Riyadh now purports to rein in. (One might call that 'enabling'). The media frames this as a diplomatic request, rather than a former aggressor
attempting to dictate terms while its fingerprints are still all over the crime scene. It's a classic case of 'now look what you made us do,' where the consequences of a U.S.-supported military campaign are rebranded as internal Yemeni squabbles requiring external 'guidance.' How many times will an aggressor claim to be a peacemaker without having to clean up their own mess?
