A follow up to my blog post of 2016 "A Coalition Of The Killing".

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

Since I wrote this original post over 3 years ago in January of 2016, the situation has only gotten much worse.

23 Million Yemeni are now officially on the brink of starvation as a result of the illegal seige warfare the United States is waging against the poorest nation in the region, not allowing any Iranian or other aid in to many regions with its port blockade among other things.

Its gotten so bad that funerals are now happening as mass events rather than single, intimate ones.

Meanwhile as the worlds two richest nations continue their genocide against one of the worlds poorest, one has to wonder: How the hell did they manage to hide a haulocaust in the Middle East so well, starting in 2003 with the Million Iraqis killed and continuing today in Yemen?
