Nothing is sacred.
Clever Washington personalities and politicians deliberately distract Americans
with an endless pageantry of potshots and titillating talk of sex, race and
ancestry
Hard news is not only censored it is nonexistent

U.S. leadership

—in addition to its 17 years laying waste to Afghanistan and supporting
terrorists and poppy fields (as it continues years long layered wars against Iraq)—is
devastating Yemen: aiding and abetting, arming and soldiering the Saudi Kingdom’s
vicious war of aggression against the poor people (made poorer) of Yemen.
Yemen suffering U.S. aggression
One congressman speaking to the Hill press was picked up by a press organization
outside the echo-chambered Washington beltway.

As a world population, Congressman Yoho said, this is something “we need to look at … and see what each country can do to alleviate this kind of conflict”; “more importantly, bring it to a solution so these people aren’t displaced”; then “and start getting them back in their countries with functional governments.”Worldwide displacement, men, women and children forced to flee their homes and become refugees and seekers of asylum—usually from the very states that are engaging in endless aggression that is forcing their flight—is at record highs. Their numbers have exceeded “70 million,” more refugees “than during World War Two.”

U.S.-Saudi
aggression

has reportedly left “22.2
million Yemenis in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by
severe hunger” (UN statistics). Untold thousands of Yeminis have been wounded
and an estimated 15,000 left dead by the conflict.
The United States, Congressman Yoho suggested, has an obligation to address the compounding crises: Yemen’s humanitarian crisis (disease, famine, displacement, vast destruction) and the U.S. arming and participation and other involvement in the U.S.-Saudi war of aggression together with further regional aggression by the United States in Western Asia.
Much criticism has been lodged against the current administration in
Washington, and rightly so. But U.S. leadership in wars of aggression and in the selling of
arms to states in conflict, to warring and destabilizing states, just in recent
times, and with growing callousness and impunity, extends from the end of the Cold
War.
