There's a civil war in Yemen. One side has the support of Saudi Arabia the other side has the support of Iran. I don't get why all the talk is about what Saudi Arabia is doing in this war, especially by lulu. And especially since if it weren't for Iran's decades long support of the Houthi rebels in Yemen it's possible there would be no civil war.

Frankly I hate Saudi Arabia, Iran, and even Yemen. They are all extreme fundamentalist Muslim states that oppress their people, especially the women, and have no protections for civil liberties, freedom of the press, or religion. I don't support any of the factions in this conflict. Not even a tiny bit.

I wonder though what you expect to happen given your attacks on just one side of this conflict. Why do you never address Iran's role in this conflict? Should Saudi Arabia withdraw and cede Yemen to Iran? Should Saudi Arabia fight a more humanitarian war? Or are you like the beauty pageant queen whose answer is always, "I just want peace on earth?"

I've no doubt that one could

I've no doubt that one could find classified documents that claim that Russian and Iranian weapons are essential to Iran's war in Yemen. Is that an issue too? Again I ask, why is Saudi Arabia's role in Yemen's civil war the only thing you seem to care about?

I disagree somewhat. Surprise, surprise. The French story is just a semi-official verification of what should have been dead obvious for a long time to anyone who looked even casually at the issue. If the issue is now dropped with the implied message that "we tried but Trump is to blame" for the continuing horrific situation as it continues with necessary U.S. enablement, then my personal conclusion is that a political "gotcha' is more important to most who voted for withdrawal of support than is stopping that particular holocaust.

well, in this case, there's only a few people who can be blamed for continued U.S. government involvement: Trump and the few senators who won't switch their vote to override his veto
