Congress moved to end support after widespread war crimes have been leveled against the Saudi military including (unlawful killing of civilians, use of child-soldiers)
Trump vetoed the bipartisan supported bill today claiming it would put U.S soldiers at risk.
Donald Trump has vetoed a bill passed by Congress to end US military assistance in Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.
The Senate had passed a bipartisan resolution on 13 March in a 54-to-46 vote, in a move that was largely seen as a rebuke of Trump’s alliance with the Saudi forces leading military action in Yemen. The House voted on the resolution in early April, passing it with 247 votes to 175.
“This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future,” Trump wrote in explaining his veto.
trump wanted to pull all troops from syria and afghanistan and there was a bipartisan freak out. Including the liberal small folk. Just more bitching, moaning and posturing.
This thread is about Suadi’s committing war crimes, and America helping them as they do it.
but ya score some screw democrat points, and people question why American politics is doomed.
You have to make helping a country committing war crimes a partisan issue.
If Trump agreed, libs would bitch. If Trump says no…libs will bitch. As a famous lib politician said, “what difference does it make…anyways”…libs will bitch.
