1/ For many years the US sold arms to Saudi Arabia, under Repub as well as Dems presidents. All of them argued "It's okay because they'll never use them." Well they're using them now. For a $360B arms sale, the US gives aerial support to Saudi's genocidal war in Yemen.

2/ Over 100,000 people have been killed in Yemen, including children. I always feel I have to repeat that again for some reason: GENOCIDE. And it couldn't be happening without us! Congress tried to stop it, actually. But Trump vetoed and they didn't have enough votes to override.

Yemen is a victim of the internal conflicts. Rebels are supported by Iran to topple the government

unfortunately this also means that children are hired as part of the war.

We need to act now to end the genocide in Yemen and more than 30.000 children have been killed and even we have to blame Saudi Arabia to have attacked Yemen for over the last five years

It is really messed up that a President can veto a majority of Congress when it comes to war powers.
