minus-squarerivermonsterlink37•11 months agoNOBODY wants Yemen. Don’t sweat it. Their only natural resource is civil war. Mostly, we just are looking to destroy Iran’s proxy forces. Also, we’ve had operations there periodically through multiple previous administations. The Saudis own our government officials and presidents. Not to mention, all the weapons and missiles, and planes the Saudis use are just provided by the US politicians they own.
