Saudi Arabia is killing children women and men in Yemen with US supplied arms

[reddread]

will Hillary tell them to cut it out,
or will she tell them to cut a check?

[polly7]

1. Cluster bombs, blockades to prevent food and medicine, deliberate

targeting of hospitals and other vital infrastructure .... Yemen is being destroyed, purposefully and deliberately. SA is using those weapons gotten through her Foundation deal.

The world yawns.

[tularetom]

2. How could anything possibly go wrong?

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia donates bazillions of dollars to the Clinton foundation.

American arms manufacturers make donations to Clinton's foundation.

US State Department led by Hillary Clinton arranges for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to purchase weapons from the very manufacturers who contributed to the Clinton foundation.

Kingdom gets the weapons they want. Arms manufacturers get the money they want. Some Americans have jobs producing those weapons.

And the Clinton Foundation receives truckloads of money.

Where's the problem? Nobody's harmed. Nobody important anyway.

5. Because this is not a post about Sanders lying

You know when he is on TV interview and host says "He was invited by the Pope" and Sanders did not correct her over a tiny gaff that means not a day fucking thing. That type lying.

7. Emails Show Hillary Clinton Aides Celebrating F-15 Sales to Saudi Arabia: “Good News”

EXCERPT...

Bombs dropped by fighter jets are pulverizing Yemen’s architectural history, possibly in violation of international humanitarian law.

A few years earlier, as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton made weapons transfer to the Saudi government a “top priority,” according to her closest military aide.

And now, newly released emails show that her aides kept her well-informed of the approval process for a $29.4 billion sale in 2011 of up to 84 advanced F-15SA fighters, manufactured by Boeing, along with upgrades to the pre-existing Saudi fleet of 70 F-15 aircraft and munitions, spare parts, training, maintenance, and logistics.

The deal was finalized on Christmas Eve 2011. Afterward, Jake Sullivan, then Clinton’s deputy chief of staff and now a senior policy adviser on her presidential campaign, sent her a celebratory email string topped with the chipper message: “FYI — good news.”

The email string was part of a new batch of emails from Clinton’s private server, made public on Friday evening as the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

One American official, whose name is redacted in the emails, said he had just received confirmation that Prince Salman, now the king of Saudi Arabia but at the time the senior Saudi liaison approving the weapons deal, had “signed the F-15SA LOA today” and would send scanned documents the following day.

“Not a bad Christmas present,” he added.
