Isn't that the whole idea of keeping our noses out of other people's business? We supported the saudi attacks in Yemen militarily. And the Saudis indiscriminately killed thousands of civilians. Quote WASHINGTON — President Trump vetoed a bipartisan resolution on Tuesday that would have forced an end to American military involvement in Saudi Arabia’s civil war in Yemen, rejecting an appeal by lawmakers to his own deeply rooted instincts to withdraw the United States from bloody foreign conflicts. Quote That war has long since devolved into a humanitarian catastrophe. The United Nations stopped counting its civilian death toll two years ago, when it hit 10,000. An independent estimate by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, which tracks conflicts worldwide, found that nearly 50,000 people, including combatants, died between January 2016 and July 2018. The war has also left more than 22 million people—75 percent of the population of Yemen, already one of the poorest countries in the world—in need of humanitarian aid.

If we have intelligence of known terrorists with actual plans to harm American's I'm ok with killing them. I'm not in agreement with just a broad support of SA attacking Yemen. If they want to do it then its not our problem....we shouldn't support them doing it. Edited September 16, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't know what the extent of our involvement was. Again any in other than a LE capacity of an imminent threat was too much in my book.

Just because they're not trying to blow each other up doesn't mean they're at peace. These nations didn't acknowledge Israel had a right to exist.

Both of the country's refused to recognize Isreal as a state before. 1 of the 2 is a massive funding tool and huge influence over the entire region. Just Saudi saying they are on board with this is huge and to blow it off like it is not is just plan ignorant or blind bias you pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this is nothing more than window dressing that does not make the region any more 'safe' or 'peaceful' than it was last week. Arab states are more concerned with Iran now than with Israel's stance on Palestinians. In fact Arab nations could give a fuck about Palestine. All this is are 2 political leaders who need a public image boost using what was already happening around them to their advantage for nothing more than a photo opp and political posturing.
