    They hadn't be invaded and did just fine against Saddam's boys, even beating off a border incursion without the help of the rest of the allies.

    And who are you going to trade with? That's really a little America attitude.

    1. This is The Guardian
    2. It's the comment section

    This quote is meaningless.

    And the anti-Houthi forces only want victory, any claims of genocide are just propaganda

    Because that was the right thing to do, defeat the Houthis and stop Iran spreading it's malign influence.

    Perhaps you do not realise that without the Red Sea the Suez Canal is unusable? Get your atlas out.

    Obama is not a war criminal, he simply backed the anti-Houthi forces and this was the right thing to do.

    Was a terrible thing to do - as the forces he was backing are worse than the Houthi's.
    The Houthi's were not an invading nation - they did a coup - was a civil revolt - popular uprising .. at least for one side.
    on the other side you have the Islamists .. Strict Sharia Theocrats who you love so much -- the one's you claim who bring "Freedom and Democracy"

    This invading nation committed mass atrocity - war crimes - crimes against humanity - Brother El Saud and its proxy warriors Al Qaeda and ISIS is likely there now -fighting along side El Saud - and the two spawn of El Saud united.. what a lovely thing to support .. a Holy Trinity of sorts. ... gets me almost a bit weepy for the end times how Ironic and Orwellian this is.

    Down the dark path you have gone tricked into supporting Al Qaeda and ISIS - "Your values are twisted - let me help you unwind .. "

    I don't need to, since I already know Suez Canal is between Sinai Peninsula mainland Egypt and Red Sea is between Saudi Arabia and mainland Africa. Iran could have closed the Straits Of Hormuz (different place) for hundreds of years, so why are they suddenly going to do it now that US stops supporting a pointless war?

    Kuwait was invaded and it’s a vassal state just like the UAE are.

    Only kids in that one. But then again, you’re American, so kids need to be protected only for the first 9month of their life...

    Maybe the maligned influence spreader is the USA (since 1945 at least).

    I think this could be the only action by Biden to which I approve so far. Nothing negative for our country here.

    The US government is doing God's work, always has. That's what Pompeo and other priests preach.

    Perhaps the ultimate goal for Biden is a war with Iran. He is a neocon just like Dubya.

    “This war has to end,” Biden told diplomats in his first visit to the State Department as president, saying the conflict had created a “humanitarian and strategic catastrophe.”
    I believe he means it. It's no surprise that people in those parts like to fight. They have been doing it for years.

    That's why the dems nominated him. Aside from they are a bunch of racists and sexists.

    Obama supported Saudi too and sold them weapons just like Trump.

    I don't support Saudi Arabia and think the Democrats and Republicans made a mistake doing so.
