In the Trump admin's defense, they've killed more people than that right here in the USA.  

So, what's it to you if we sell arms to the Saudis for their proxy war and maybe -- just maybe, I'm spitballing here -- the Trump family gets a shitload of favorable business dealings/loan bailouts etc. from the House of Saud?  Isn't a sweetheart deal like that worth a mere 233,000 dead brown people?  This guy thinks it's a fucking BARGAIN....

I predict that this ages nicely post Jan 2021.

The Houthis are controlled by Iran and have continually tried to sink neutral shipping in the Red sea and have bombed cities full of civilians in their own country as well as Saudi Arabia. But throw one picture up of a starving child and we're the bad guys. Real great logic there. *News Flash* war sucks guys. Under who's administration do you think the Saudis started their intervention?

Yes, pray tell.

 

And if you don't like pictures of starving kids, maybe you prefer the pictures of US made cluster munition shrapnel at sites where a school bus full of kids was obliterated.

Obama's. Which administration has done it's best to not expand America's military footprint across globe. *Not that I agree with that* (for the children who can't grasp it)

 

Is the picture of American munitions supposed to dissuade me? Do you realize the Houthis have withheld food aid to their own people and have extorted aid groups to make sure they control it's distribution? Not that that would matter to someone of your logic.

Wrong question to begin with, respectfully.

Why did we start selling weapons to the House of Saud is the initial question to be agreed upon.

They are allies and held to a higher standard. The prosecution of this war by our ally was grotesque in the world's opinion - regardless of the foe. Saudis have been powerful for a long time.

Are you asking like you don't already know the answer? Just be happy that moving forward we won't have much of reason to be involved in the ME... except for maybe giving money and cover to the worst terrorist regime of the past half century (Iran for the childish morons).

My logic is pretty clear. Maybe let's not facilitate war and death and famine across the globe. Real rocket science shit, I know. 

 

You have the logic of a child. Name one country, now or in human history, that hasn't involved themselves in others affairs to advance their interests. The real world is tough son.

There are countless examples of our interventions creating blowback. I know that there are some status quo bozos that like to cuddle up under the delusion that our interventionist approaches in places like Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan and Korea and Vietnam and Central/South America has created the greatest period of peace and prosperity and democracy the world has ever seen.  What I see is jingoism creating far more long lasting problems than it solves. But yes, let's talk more about Iran.

Well it’s like you said, they’re fucking bozos. They do believe those things. Why? Because they were told to by entities with skins in the game. It’s very perplexing because when it comes to these right wingers, they’re always 

This is like that spot in Caddyshack where Judge Smails (the government) tells Danny (the population) to ignore his repeated very illegal improvements to his ball lie...except in this analogy, Danny literally believes the justification that Smails was interfered with.

You have a child's mentality. Interventions create Blowback? You don't say. So America is not supposed to look out for it's interests because it makes bleeding hearts cry? We should look the other way when Iran, China, and Russia make the world burn because it offends it's less aware and childish citizens? How is that realistic? It's not.

This guy is a boring skipping record. 

Of course America should look out for its interests.  Overthrowing democratic outcomes is not in America's interests. Propping up barbarism is not in America's interests. Dumping arms into a fire keg is not in our interests. Pointing the finger at Iran and China and Russia and blabbering about making the world burn while having absolutely zero self awareness is not in our interest.  But tell us more about the worldview of children.

I remember when posters on this sub forum were fretting about the impact that Trump's election would have on LMT and BA and RTN. LOL.

What democratic outcomes are being overthrown in Yemen? There has never been a democracy there. Do you know anything other than "wAr bAd"!

What about when both sides are barbaric? You act like the Houthis are blameless in that shitshow.

And the arms the Chinese, Iranians, and Russians are dumping in Yemen? Should we let them threaten the free world's gas station because it offends people's sensibilities?

Explain specifically how that is true.

I don't need to when you keep spamming war porn because it makes you feel righteous.

 

 

Again, y'all won't have to be in your feels for much longer as there will be an American pullback from most everywhere but the Pacific. But we shouldn't be involved there either, right?

And you should put allies in quotes. "Allies". 

 

You know they just aren't threatening the Saudis, right? The Iraqis, Israelis, Jordanians, Lebanese just for starters. They have set off bombs and killed innocents in India, Bulgaria, Argentina, Thailand, and on and on. They've killed Americans in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria (just for starters). Wake up. There is no place in this world for those who turn the other cheek to evil like them.

You're missing the important part of this. It's all about scoring partisan points. Dead kids are way second to that. Starving kids? Who really cares? 

I'll borrow from Brisket: Cruelty is our brand.

Negged twice for presuming to have a more realistic world view than those whom you address. Also for poorly veiling a partisan agenda. 

Maybe Obama failed. A lot of people have sucked up to Saudi. Fuck the Saudis. They flew the planes into the Pentagon and the World Trade Towers. They bought our current administration and bragged about it.

Again, fuck them. And fuck your self-congratulatory tone as you explain the world to all of us softies.

I don't need to presume, this entire thread and forum, prove it over and over. And just because you can't see it, or agree with it, does not automatically mean it's partisan. You people are defending the worst producer of state sponsored terrorism in the past half century.

He did fail, his foreign policy made Jimmy Carter look like Genghis Khan. And fuck the Saudis. The fact you think I'm stanning for them only makes my point that you can't see the forest from the trees.

If you think we should let the Iranians tear up the Middle East and threaten the free worlds energy supply, then you are soft. I'm just happy we won't be there in person much longer.

You’ve mentioned gas, petroleum, and now energy as reasons America should be involved. Yet nothing about human suffering and the loss of life.

You’re telling on yourself.
