U.S. helping Saudis kill 400,000 kids under 5 this year

Not making that up. It’s the assessment of 4 UN agencies last month on the six yearlong Saudi war against the Houthi rebels who overthrew the Saudi supported Yemen government in September, 2014.

The Saudis want the former government restored, fearing the Houthis are aligned with their bête noire Iran. That’s all Uncle Sam needed to jump in with bombs, refueling jets and logistical intelligence to set off the worst humanitarian crisis extant.

So far a quarter million are dead and three million on the move. Worse, 16 million are at risk of starvation, including 2 million little kids. Until the Saudi, U.S. blockade and bombing campaign ends, one of those kids dies every 75 seconds, hence the 400,000 annual figure.

President Joe is concerned, but not enough to pull the plug on one of the most heinous American military involvements ever. His war loving Secretary of State Tony Blinken is blaming the Houthis for the deadlock in negotiations for a ceasefire.

Saudi Arabia’s grotesque war against Yemen would collapse without U.S. support. In the 6 years with U.S collaboration, they’ve never come close to winning.

The U.S., Saudi made catastrophe in Yemen barely makes the news. Not sexy enough to draw viewers. Stop looking away folks. That Yemeni kid that just starved to death thanks to your tax dollars, but for the grace of chance, could have been yours.
