"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
3 Million Yemenis Displaced

The poor Pentagon. The U.S. "has been literally fueling Saudi warplanes for 18 months while selling weapons and providing intelligence support to" Saudi Arabia.
And you know what happened? People didn't like the U.S. government doing that. And since the U.S. military has a sordid record of, you know, mass murder in the Middle East, some people shot at them.
The U.S. got fired upon. In Yemen? 6,900 deaths, 35,000 wounded, 3 million displaced.
The U.S. and Israel play "poor me" better than anyone. If you open your eyes to see it.
