America bringing freedom to 44 school children in Yemen

[Rod1]

Blaming one party for what another party did is not an example of hyperbole.

The US is accesory to mass murder.

If i give the gun to a criminal with the express knowledge that he will use it to murder, im an accomplice.

Wow, so because you deleted your message my quote of you gets deleted as well? When did this happen? And does that mean you’re not gonna turn Saudi Arabia into glass and does that mean you’re not gonna turn Saudi Arabia into glass??

I didn't delete anything. Mods going to mod.

CNN has established that the weapon that left dozens of children dead on August 9 was a 500-pound (227 kilogram) laser-guided MK 82 bomb made by Lockheed Martin, one of the top US defense contractors.

Is CNN the only source?

If the US/UK stop selling weapons to the Saudis, wouldn't that hurt the trade relationship (which includes oil) and they just get weapons elsewhere?

Bad assumption on my part.

 

[loyalyolayal]

Disgusting.

That and Tim Kennedy just came.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Right, so you and I would agree that the US should not be selling bombs to Saudi Arabia. It still does not mean the US bombed these school children.

No, but it did kill these Yemeni children (and women).

Its silly to pretend that the US isn't fully complicit with the war crimes being committed against Yemenis.

I'm not pretending anything. If the US is fully complicit with Saudi war crimes, nothing itt has yet come even close to the threshold of proving that. What we've established is that the US sells weapons to Saudi Arabia, something that is being condemned from all sides. That's a far cry short of being fully complicit.

We have troops in Yemen supporting the Saudis. We are giving intelligence support. Short of actually launching the bomb that killed these kids, I don't know how we could be more responsible.

Which of course we ourselves have done many times. We have blown up hospitals on multiple occasions in our past. Children, that's amatuer hour psycopath shit.

But it is. We know what the Saudis are doing and we knew during the Obama administration when we sold them more weapons and we knew during the Trump administration when we sold them weapons. There are war crimes being committed in Yemen and we are selling them weapons and giving them logistical support.

Yemen war: Senate rejects ending US support of Saudi-led campaign​

The US Senate has rejected an effort to end support for the Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians and driven the country to the brink of famine, after a rare attempt by Congress to claw back its war powers from the executive branch.

Have you followed the conversation or do you take a five word response all alone?

For fucks sake

Man all those American voters screaming to support the Saudi war effort sure is weird. I have never met one before, but they must exist...........

Unless.....hear me out here.......maybe Saudi Arabia is lobbying, and bribing our politicians to vote for Saudi interests. That sounds crazy though, because I'm pretty sure that is illegal, and surely the FBI is doing it's job, and of course the media would tell us if this was going on. (E-sarcasm)

Once someone buys something isn’t it their property and what they do with it their responsibility? Or should we start charging car companies for DUI offenses?

They have had their hand in the pockets for years, they gotta spend those trillions somehow

That's the same reason I sell heroin to high school kids.
