And more Yemeni children will die! These arms sales to Saudi Arabia support a genocidal war in Yemen. Trump says it’s good because it creates a lot of jobs. But that’s not what’s “good for business;” it’s blood money, and the blood is on America’s hands. thedailybeast.com/trump-admi…

Good for jobs? Good for jobs??? What about the innocent Yemeni children? Greed...greed...and more greed. At the core... this is what is wrong with the American Government. “It is time to ameliorate all unnecessary suffering of all sentient beings.” MW

The war in Yemen has included "airstrikes, indiscriminate shelling, snipers, landmines, as well as arbitrary killings and detention, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and the impeding of access to humanitarian aid" according to UN OHCHR. ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pa…

This should not be allowed, not even thought of. The opposite of what is needed, a Dept of Peace must be in our 2021 future, a true focus on peace. 🕊🌏🕊 ☮️ 🙏🇺🇸🙏

True but name a year when such has not been the case.

We desperately need a leader with a vision to value all lives, stop these unwarranted support and killing of people overseas. But we have either Trump or Biden to choose from. Both with blood on their hands and both with a penchant and love of unnecessary wars. Devastating.

It broke my heart that the current occupant of The White House used his first ever veto to overturn a bipartisan agreement to end our involvement in the genocide in Yemen.
