Yemen

[Omegstrat6]

Events in Yemen making headlines again to remind everyone that this now 8 year long war is still killing many innocent people and destroying the country. It's more complicated than what is going on in Ukraine with both Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran supporting different sides but the devastating effects on the civilian population is the same. Both sides are guilty of targeting civilians and of war crimes but I'm sure that a combined latent fear of an IS resurgence and increased need for oil won't see BJ being too critical of the Saudis on his visit.

Sadly the USA or U.K. can’t police the world and it should be up to the neighbouring countries to sort this out. Ukraine though is part of Europe and Putin is another Hitler and this country needs to be isolated and Oligarchs thrown out of the country.

All human life should be precious, but actually life is cheap in some people eyes.
War is war by definition but Yemen is a proxy war with local religious issues and unlikely to spread, especially after 8 years.
Ukraine has the potential to send us all to hell in a cart.
This is very serious make no mistake but thankfully our leaders in the west are cool headed unlike some in the past and so it’s all up to the thoughts of one man.
