Saudi-led Coalition Warns Yemen Separatists, Again
The Saudi-led coalition, funded heavily by U.S. taxpayers ($9.5B in arms sales to Saudi Arabia authorized by the Biden admin, as per Defense Security Cooperation Agency records), is once more playing geopolitical whack-a-mole in Yemen. They warn separatists to withdraw "peacefully," just as Saudi jets reportedly bomb separatist positions. This cycle of 'warn, bomb, repeat' has defined the
U.S.-backed Saudi intervention since 2015, a conflict the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis, yet somehow remains a journalistic footnote for most mainstream outlets. One might wonder how many times a "warning" can be issued before it's simply a pretext for continued intervention, especially when the same 'international community' that calls for 'restraint' simultaneously greenlights
more weapons for the aggressors. It appears "restraint" is a relative term, particularly when there's an endless supply of bombs to sell.
