    Don't know what to tell you except they have been doing it this way for six years.
    Kinda makes you wonder if their goal is to win doesn't it?

    If this is true, then I'm glad to see it, but unfortunately, this probably means we're going to enter a different country or arm a different aggressor.

    The military industrial complex must have gotten all that they wanted out of the Yemen war.

    To make a settlement you must have military victory.

    Who is supporting genocide? And the Iranians are big believers in genocide, ask them their opinion on Israel.

    Yes I can, Iran would have the ability to cut the Straits of Hormuz and Suez Canal and hold the world to ransom. If you don't care about that stick your head back in the sand.

    Lol... They were forced into participating since Kuwait had been invaded. They didn’t volunteered to help, they begged to be rescued. They’ve an history of cowardice when **** hit the fan.

    Having the ability maybe, getting it done probably not. That move would negatively effect every nuclear armed nation, they would receive a ransom payment in the destruction of their military abilities that would take about as long as it did for Saddam.

    I haven't seen the US government show interest in winning a war since WWII.

    the truth

    "The heart of the US-Saudi relationship lies in the Kushner-prince friendship"

    https://www.theguardian.com/comment...audi-arabia-trump-kushner-mohammed-bin-salman

    "Kushner’s role is particularly troubling because, as the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, he has cultivated and shored up the relationship between Trump and the ruthless Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The Kushner-Prince Mohammed friendship is at the heart of the US-Saudi relationship today, and it’s one reason that Trump has tried to shield the crown prince from blame for the murder of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump and Kushner, both used to shady real estate deals, adapted quickly to Saudi Arabia’s system of patronage and clientelism: unwavering support from the Trump administration for the promise of weapons sales and other business deals."

    There is a world of difference between a victory and a genocide.

    I'm pretty sure they'd prefer perpetual wars.

    Did he show great wisdom when he and Obama first got us involved in it?

    Care to explain the wisdom in it?

    They have had the ability to cut Straits of Hormuz forever.

    Perhaps you do not know where Suez Canal is since you think its in Yemen.

    The US and Brother El Saud - working with their proxy warriors - Al Qaeda in Yemen .. the US complicit in war crimes - crimes against humanity.

    "The State Department warned for years that the U.S. was complicit in war crimes in Yemen. No one put a stop to it"
    https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/09/21/us-war-crimes-yemen-stop-looking-other-way

    Your beloved Obama wouldn't listen .. spent much of the last decade arming and supporting Al Qaeda and the Islamic State - not fighting it.

    War criminal is what the History books will record .. dirty deeds.

    How did you arrive to the conclusion that stopping supporting one war, somehow means we will enter another one?

    Yemen has been a haven and training ground for terrorists for a very long time. Terrorists trained in Yemen committed terror attacks in western countries. That's a damn good reason to get involved in whatever is happening there, me thinks. Seems that Obama thought so too, since he ordered the targeted assassination of an American citizen - Anwar al-Awlaqi, the al Qaeda preacher and recruiter - on Yemeni soil.
