Saudi Arabia Strikes Yemeni Separatists; US Media Silent on 'Allies' Fighting Again?
According to The New Arab, Saudi Arabia conducted air strikes against the Southern Transitional Council (STC)'s Hadhrami Elite Forces in Yemen's Hadhramaut region. This would be newsworthy if it wasn't another chapter in the US-backed Saudi war, where 'allies' frequently find themselves on opposing sides, largely ignored by a press corps still pretending the primary issue is Houthi missiles. The
US has supplied billions in arms to Saudi Arabia, including a $650 million air-to-air missile deal approved by the Biden administration in 2021, and Lockheed Martin's F-15s, which are, you know, for 'defense.' How many times will Washington equip both sides of an intra-allied conflict before someone asks if this is good for 'Mideast stability' or just good for Raytheon stock?
