Agreeing with Trump
It always feels weird to, but sometimes he’s just plain right:
Too bad 2019 Trump doesn’t agree with 2014 Trump.

It just shows it's not him that's really pulling the strings. His ginormous ego is just a cover for such things.
Up the workers!
But USA sell billions of $ of weapons to Saudi. don't they know how to use them?

As long as the Saudis sell their oil in USDs and then spend enough of those USDs on weapons etc, everyone is happy.

the short answer is no
there have been many many expats over many many years making squillions that they would otherwise not make in their own countries working weapon systems
the biggest problem with them is that they rely on inshallah over all else in attempting to deliver mission capable weapon platforms

The Saudis should leave Yemen. The reason why they have to worry about Houthi drones blowing up their oil fields is because they are at war with Yemen and are enforcing a total blockade on the country. The Saudis are trying to starve the Houthis so the Houthis are perfectly justified in using drones to wreak havoc in Saudi Arabia.

Perhaps all the belligerents should leave Yemen, but that isn't going to happen. I'm no fan of the Saudis but I can understand them not wanting a hostile government on their southern border.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Belligerents like the US and the UK, who are helping to enforce a blockade and who are maliciously starving Houthi women and children to death, also need to leave. As do the Emiratis, Egyptians, Jordanians, Sudanese, Kuwaitis and their best friends in Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Harold is right. It is quite sickening what the Uk armaments firms are doing.

In what order ought they leave? Or perhaps they could agree to all leave straight after tea on Sunday and each trust that the others won't renege.Harold wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 9:45 pmBelligerents like the US and the UK, who are helping to enforce a blockade and who are maliciously starving Houthi women and children to death, also need to leave.

And who is supplying the Houthi rebels with arms? Maybe if that arms trade stopped there wouldn't be women and children starving in Yemen now. Why are the Houthis the victims and not the aggressors in that civil war, in your eyes? Because they despise the US and Israel?springrain wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 9:53 pmHarold is right.

So you're implying he's wrong for assuming the Yemenis are the victims, but you're right for assuming the same thing about the other side? Interesting logic.McPhisto wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 1:54 amAnd who is supplying the Houthi rebels with arms?

Let's take a look at the US track record, for starters...how many wars have they started? (The list is too long to copy and paste, what does that tell you?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_w ... ted_States
Secondly, let's look ta Israel's human rights record....another very long list of abuses
And then, let's look at the UK's record for selling arms to anybody with money, including Saudi Arabia, the world's worst abuser of human rights, shitbags who murder people in embassies and dismember them a la Alamo style.
So..we've got three notorious abusers of human rights, venal corporations making money out of selling death and bombing 'legitimate targets' such as school buses...
Let's assume, however that the Yemenis are also being supplied by some unknown nasty people, which is undoubtedly true.
Given the above track record of the western alliance dirtbags, what do you think the probability is that they are the instigators? Are you good at calculating odds?
Hint: they invaded Iraq after 911, when NOT ONE of the attackers was from there.
