It’s hard to justify Saudi Arabia’s conduct of the war.

Well, we need a conflict to stick our noses into over there.

Might as well be that one. Blood, treasure and refugees ahoy...

The new King of Saudi Arabia Salman was more conservative than the old guard. His interests were not as Islamic based as his predecessors. He sided with Trump. More Western friendly. The Yemenis had a civil war (between North and South ) that basically returned them to Sharia law dominated country. It's a base from which the Iranians can exert more geopolitical control to fuck with and overthrow the Saudis and go more to Sharia law in the region. Iran and SA have a serious animosity with each other trying to wrestle control over of the ME. SA wants the status quo basically. Iran is spreading an Islamic revolution.

Biden is selling out an ally against Iran. The civil war in Yemen is about spreading Iranian control of the region. Sell Out Joe knows Iranian control of Yemen will also give them control of access to the Suez canal.

So, you were for Obama's drone strikes?

Also, there are significant differences between the two programs. If you dont understand that, then you should probably not compare the two.

It speaks volumes that Joe doesn't have his own gang of pals; he just borrowed Obama's & Hillary's longtime associates.

I have a theory about why there doesn't seem to be any Biden/Epstein connection despite it being such a shoe in, and I think it's because Biden is the political version of the slow kid who gets picked last for kickball teams.  He ran some rather crude, brazen grifts and used the money to buy his way onto the main stage...but still wasn't invited to the after party.
