Yemen's 'Separatists' Undeterred by Saudi Strikes (Paid for by You)
When Yemen's separatists declare Saudi strikes 'will not deter them,' as reported by The New Arab, it's framed as their resolve. What's often omitted is the decade-long, US-backed Saudi coalition bombing campaign that has fueled this conflict and humanitarian catastrophe. Remember when President Biden, on February 4, 2021, announced an end to US support for 'offensive operations' in Yemen? That
promise evaporated. In 2023 alone, the US approved billions in arms sales to Saudi Arabia, ensuring those 'deterrent' strikes keep flying. (Source: Defense Security Cooperation Agency records). This isn't just about Yemen's tenacity; it's about the relentless flow of US arms and logistical support that makes Saudi Arabia's air war sustainable. How many times can a global superpower claim to back
peace while simultaneously fueling the violence? It appears 'ending support' means rebranding it and continuing business as usual, with American taxpayers footing the bill for the bombs that fail to deter.
