The Starvation of Yemen

Saudi Arabia has banned imports from Lebanon and ordered the Lebanese ambassador out of the country within 48 hours, after footage emerged with the Lebanese Minister George Kordahi criticising the coalition's war against Yemen.
Kordahi called the war “futile”, called for it to end and said that the Houthis are “defending themselves … against an external aggression”.

Saudi Arabia also recalled its ambassador and banned Saudis from travelling to Lebanon.
After the Saudis, the Kingdom of Bahrain likewise summoned the Lebanese ambassador to leave the country: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2...a-bans-imports-from-lebanon-expels-ambassador
 
Some "alternative media" argue that it's contradictory that the Yemen genocide, that has resulted in the worst man-made famine of the 21st century, is so blatantly ignored, but we now get a media hysteria over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Since March 2015, the UAE/Saudi-led coalition warplanes have executed over 266,000 airstrikes on poor Yemen.
This has resulted in more than a half of million dead Yemenis, most of them dying not as the direct result of the bombs but as a result of the starvation caused by the blockade and the bombing of food and energy.

And obviously the Houthis, because they fight against the psychopaths that rule the oil-rich UAE and Saudi Arabia, are nothing more than "terrorists", so the UN Security Council, this month chaired by the UAE, condemned the Houthis' "cross-border attacks" and extended the arms embargo and travel ban on Yemen, which will make the humanitarian crisis even worse: https://thefreethoughtproject.com/t...r-saudis-the-wests-grotesque-double-standard/



Like the UN, the Biden administration (that like Trump and Obama support the UAE/Saudi's brutal war) have started new sanctions against "Houthi financiers", which will hamper civilian imports, with more starvation as the result.

In the meantime, the Saudi and Russian relationship has blossomed since the UAE installed Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia. Bin Salman first formally met Vladimir Putin in 2015 (when he was just one of the princes of the kingdom): https://archive.ph/1R9hW
 
One of the very few good things Biden did as president, was stopping the support for the brutal genocide of Yemen.
One of the very few good things Modi puppet Tulsi did before she became a Trump cheerleader, was criticising war.

Tulsi Gabbard makes a 180 on the brutal genocide of Yemen, now that she’s part of the Trump II administration.
