Trump letting the world know that the US is Saudi Arabia's bitch

    The mindless goons in military industrial complex are all exuberant that the US is now a major oil exporter, so they're trying to frame Iran and Venezuela (largest oil reserves in the world) in order to corner the market for their buddies in the oil companies and the big banks. They don't care a fig who they kill or the suffering they cause, as long as the $$$ and the power keep rolling in for themselves. The world should come together and hang every last one of these filthy traitors.

    they've been doing it for the last four years or so so I don't think the ethics question really bothers them

    Why not. What makes Yemen untouchable?

    it's not that Yemen is untouchable, it's mostly two things:

    1. Saudi Arabia has no business forcing Yemen to accept their puppet President and no matter how many times they repeat that he is/was 'internationally recognised' there's no getting around the fact that he was deposed by popular uprising, largely BECAUSE he was selling the country off to KSA.

    2. KSA's siege tactics amount to serious war crimes and 'crimes against humanity' which seriously undermine any claims to moral superiority that the US, UK, France etc. love to signal.

    My favourite example is what they did to Hodeida, Yemen's main port. Early on in the war KSA bombed the port cranes so that they couldn't load or unload cargo, and being the only major port this caused extreme food and medicine shortages, later leading to the famine and Cholera epidemics. They then blockaded the port so that the cranes couldn't be repaired, and actually petitioned the UN to give them administrative control of the port because the 'Yemeni authorities couldn't keep it running'.

    congress would have blocked arms sales to saudi already if it wasnt for trump's veto.

    1 - because yemen is a little boy and its inappropiate to touch him that a way.

    2 - see answer above.

    he's already sanctioned virtually anything of value; he even tried sanctioning the ayatollah, who doesn't have any assets outside of iran

    Hmmm, I wonder what he’s talking about then. Although I wonder what he’s talking about frequently. He needs to quit shooting off his mouth and be more calculating. He’s too stupid for that.

    he can still sanction their seats at the UN.

    give them plastic chairs instead of the premium ones.

    According to who? Not the assholes in Yemen. Rules only work if both sides follow them. If one side refuses then no holds barred is justified.
