This 11-year-old Yemeni boy survived an airstrike that killed 45 kids

Somehow Saudi Arabia protects US interest.
The payments for that protection appears to be to turn the other cheek...

I don't condone the ignorance that permeates there. I do understand how those hidden hands work together globally, somewhat...


It's either the US chastises the M.E S.A interest and risks losing protection globally associated with Saudi Arabia potentially triggering a attack on the US Homeland or internationally.
Or the hand greasing continues 😔🤔

RUSSIA has IRAN, US has SAUDI ARABIA.
If US cuts off S.A then what? Use your third eyes?

That doesn't mean the US cannot put more pressure on them hands however behind the scenes 🙄 That in response is returned in public as AN apology.

MAY THE LIGHT PROTECT AND GUIDE MR. KHASHOGGI & HIS FAMILY.

It seems the options are growing towards global barbarrianisim. And whoever is the most barbaric takes all.
Which country would the odds work in favor of that being😔🤔

Or the planet moves on beyond Old World ways into a New World and consciously pulls together for generations in the future.
It's really not that complicated, is it

That Vice episode is very unsettling in many ways. The air strike happened in early August and they recently went back to the scene with the boy who was in the bus, who survived. I think his dad was with him when they went back. If you look at the video, the dad picks up two body parts (3+ months after the bombing), a foot and possibly another foot or hand. Holds them with his bare hands like there is nothing wrong with this and then throws them back on the ground - all while flies land on their faces (father & son) - it seems extremely gross to have body parts rotting in an accessible street. I would think people would use something to touch the part, not bare hands and then continue on like there is no worry of disease. If that is how they treat hygiene, THAT is why we need to screen immigrants and choose the types of people who come in. Bringing that type of mentality to a civilized nation is a sure recipe for spreading horrific diseases simply b/c the immigrants lack the knowledge of what is "clean".

I'm sure there will be snowflakes yelling "not all are like that". Your right, but we dont' want the ones who are.

no idea what youre talking about

was the dad in your story bruce willis?
was bruce willis on vice?

Vice News is the website and thus the content is a Vice episode. The rest of his paragraph is..dunno.

Watch the episode and you'll understand.

Ain't got time to read all the posts here, but,,,we can elect those that will represent us, but when they get to DC, they are informed who we are with and who we are against. Sound familiar? They can vote against any action, but in the name of national defense
And military security, it is always ask for forgiveness and not permission. Always been like this. Even way before government

what an emotional post! 45 children bombed and killed. The bomb left nothing but twisted old looking metal of what once was a bus. But somehow....somehow...the backbacks and the papers inside are unharmed.

Come on ATSers! Put the heart wrenching emotion aside and see this for what it is. A fake video with poor actors. We have seen them before.

But the Saudi's have already said..oops, bad timing, our bad

a reply to: blueman12
Yes, it is horrible that these terrorists use children in a school bus as human shields.
Anyone using children as human shields needs to be dealt with extremely harshly.
And now, they are using children as human shields on the Mexican border!
Absolutely disgusting!

Everyone who thinks they have it rough here in the U.S. should go straight to the 2min24sec mark of the video you linked to, and watch just the next 60 seconds of it.

I wish our mainstream media would report news realistically like that.

Don't tell me who said what....explain the indestructible backpacks and paper!

a reply to: TiredofControlFreaks

Many of the seats survived the explosion, why not the backpack?, the kid survived. I get what you're saying though.

Real or not, it does not change my opinion on what the rulers in SA are about.

It is not the first time they’ve done it and I am afraid that it will not going to be the last time. It is really the Middle East issue and I am %500 sure that it is “not going to be solved” by the “western powers”.


It needs local efforts to stop these insane Wahhabis vermin.

a reply to: TiredofControlFreaks

It's possible, but I doubt VICE would work with Yemen rebels to fake the video. Previous actions by Saudi Arabia don't really paint a picture of careful ethical strikes.

If you're talking about the video with abbey Martin, then yes. She is great. She worked for RT, then does empire files now. She's a real journalist and trustworthy. She's changed my perception on Israel vs Palestine.

I wish there was more people like her too. She has interesting perspectives on Venezuela. When many mainstream American networks (both left and right) were saying the same thing, she went to Venezuela and talked to both pro-gov and non-pro gov. Also went through a detailed history of how events have unfolded and key players.

Very few real journalists that get funding in America anymore.

11 year olds on a school field trip..... American propaganda really got to you mate! Morals don't matter cause they ain't American!

No...my friend who i loved was killed by people like that so screw them. They brought it on themselves.

a reply to: Violater1

Shoot the hostage. They dead anyway if you dont.

a reply to: blueman12

I'm a fan of disproportionate response because, in absence of outside variables interfering, it works. This is not a "since Trump came along" position for me, either. Israel is the definition of an ally... a mutually beneficial partner in the region. The IT, medical, and intelligence gains the US has obtained from Israel over the years are gains we'd never have come close to getting from Palestine. Palestine is Israel's business to deal with as they deem appropriate, same as Saudi Arabia and Yemeni terrorists.

I'll roll it too you. Terrorists use children as human shields. They know that although they may slaughter1 1000's of people. The defending force will be condemned for killing children that they used as shields, as opposed to them killing 1000s of people. This plays off of the sympathy of the world. This sympathy or empathy, allows the terrorists to move about freely without consequences to their behavior. Invaders, the enemy, or criminals are now using this tactic straight out of the Terrorist's play book.
How your mind twisted my words is beyond me.
Bomb the caravan, sheesh.

a reply to: burdman30ott6

So forget about human rights because they are our allies? In that sense, America is no better than any other country sponsoring proxy wars, genocide, terrorism or other violent affairs.

How can we be a nation of freedom, by working directly with countries that are anti-freedom?

Yes, I understand it from a regional political perspective. Is that all we are though? A giant empire playing risk? Not caring who are partners are as long as the $$$ comes rolling in?

I'm sorry, I can't be on board with that. The world will never change if everybody thinks like that.

a reply to: Violater1

Except children (who thought they were on a field trip) don't deserve to die because of the actions of rebels.

That also creates even more hate. Hence why I referenced Israel/Palestine in this thread so much. Israel cracks down hard on protesters, and further pushes people out of their homes. Then in return, more Palestinians are swayed to go militant.

Are human shield tactics any worse than drone bombing from a distance, killing them all? I don't justify the rebels, but you seem to believe that big nations are exempt from cruel tactics because they aren't using human shields or suicide bombers.

a reply to: yuppa

Your friend was killed by 11-year old school children on a field trip?

Sorry your friend was killed. But not sure how you think this is justified.

O.. is it because they are brown people from sand countries?..
