Yemen in the time of cholera, Part 4

The Red Cross calls it "a hideous milestone in the 21st century" and rightly so, the one millionth case of cholera in Yemen. Not a natural disaster, the epidemic is man made, courtesy of Saudi Arabia, its Gulf State allies and its principle weapons supplier, Uncle Sam. In addition to all that WCD (Weapons of Civilian Destruction), we're giving logistic support in the form of intelligence and mid air refueling of Saudi bombers aiding their destruction of Yemen infrastructure which no longer supplies potable water. The US supports the inhuman Saudi blockade of food and medicine causing millions of Yemenis to face starvation as well as their version of the Big C. The US war party, whether presided over by Obama or Trump, justifies this grotesque use of American might to counter imagined enemy Iran, who the Saudis whine are trying to become chief hegemon in the Middle East, in part through interference in the Yemen civil war. No US support and the Saudi scorched earth war of Yemen annihilation would collapse. State sponsor of terrorism? Look in the mirror Uncle Sam.
