If the Left Wants a Reason to Impeach Trump, Why Not Yemen?

5/29/2019

For all this blather about the wildly over-hyped "muh Russia collusion" impeachment talk, there's a much better (and by better, I mean actually real) reason to impeach Trump: Yemen.

From The Independent,
A report published by the U.S.-based University Network for Human Rights (UNHR) and Yemeni monitoring group Mwatana identified 27 air strikes launched by the Gulf alliance—led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—between April 2015 and April 2018, which they said were unlawful.
​
The organizations said U.S.-made weapons were likely used in 25 of the attacks. In total, the 27 unlawful strikes killed at least 203 people and wounded close to 750. More than 120 children and at least 56 women were among the casualties, the report said.

Among them was the April 2018 bombing of a wedding party, which killed 21 people and injured 97. The attack used an American-made GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bomb, according to the report.

Not included in the scope of the report was the bombing of a school bus in August 2018, which killed as many as 51 people—40 of them children. According to CNN, the weapon used was a 500-pound laser-guided MK 82 bomb produced by U.S. company Lockheed Martin.

The Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Yemen since March 2015 in support of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, who was deposed by Iranian-linked Houthi rebels. Four years later, there was little sign of an end to the fighting, which left more than 60,000 people dead and 14 million at risk of starvation.
This "war" if you can call it that has helped bring on the largest cholera outbreak in modern history with over 1.2 million cases. I've even heard reports the Saudi's are going so far as to bomb cattle in an attempt to starve the Yemenese into submission. 

And yet, last month Trump vetoed bipartisan legislation to end US support for the Saudi-led bloodbath. That right there is something to impeach over. But the Democrats won't touch that since it goes against the permanent establishment's wishes and, of course, because Barack Obama had the same policy. So we focus instead on nonsense regarding muh Russia.
