Imperialist invasion
The imperialist United States is supporting their Saudi Arabian vassal state in stirring up a bloody proxy war in Yemen that has killed at least 10,000 civilians and left millions homeless.[2][3] In 2011, Obama had assassinated a U.S. citizen living in Yemen along with his son and nephew and several other civilians.[4] The United States also killed a 13-year-old boy in 2015 with a drone strike and 30 people, including an 8-year-old girl, in 2017 with a SEAL attack. In 2018, a US-backed Saudi plane bombed a school bus, killing 40 innocent children and injuring 80 more people.
In June 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that he had deployed troops in Yemen to back the Saudi forces.[5]
