The Biden admin will try everything to stop ansar Allah other than stopping the genocide. They have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that for them, killing Palestinians is simply non-negotiable.

It's how their economy works, gotta keep oppressing people and taking their shit. If Hitler was born American, he would have been content for conquest, etc. he had to overcompennsate because he was born German, a latecomer to the colonization game.

Edit: or born as a Spanish conquistador. Their economy has worked this way since at least Columbus.

Wasn't there a news story just a couple days ago with Saudis decrying that assassination of Hamas leader as "violation of Iranian sovereignty"?

How about this then? Is buying weapons to wage war in a different country against yet another one a "violation of sovereignty"?

Won't help them. Didn't help before when the KSA was a toddler holding the steering wheel as their dad the USA was the one actually driving, won't help now. They don't even have their driver's permit.

At least the one in my city closed. The majority are on the other coast, so I should be good.

I hope the peace deal with Iran and negotiations with Yemen, mean that this is just another weapons contract -tributes- to buy US Congresspersons and nothing more.
