    You’ll have noted the picture shows US military MRAPs in column, arming one of the toady nations we’re using to wage a war by proxy in Yemen, one that’s creating another humanitarian crisis. In other words, the toadies couldn’t do it if we didn’t have our hand up their sock puppet arses.

    Bombing poor people isn’t a strategy, it’s immorality. For a nation that proposes or masquerades as being for the good, the world’s most impoverished places are not fields that demand the US be the world gardener, pretending to make things better by pulling out what we see as weeds, one strike at a time.
