Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

We've gone from being complicit in a genocide in Yemen by giving arms and military support to Saudi Arabia, to now just deciding to do the genocide ourselves.
Disgusting
I consider teh US a full participant. It's the US's proxy war, it's US arms, it's US intel. We weren't just giving them stuff, we were re-fueling their planes with US aerial refueling tankers. They literally could not have done it without us.
Absolutely. It's just now we're directly doing it instead of having a proxy do it
We also provided targeting. There were a lot of double-tap strikes in that war! And we provided logistics like in-air refueling. Most importantly, the US was part of the genocidal starvation blockade. And when the Saudis realized they can no longer continue the war in late 2022, Biden was the one pressuring them to not end it. But China's diplomacy won out.
Correct
And its in order to help provide cover for another genocide in the region. Grim.
