    You beat me to it.

    If we could trust the headlines, this would be a good thing.

    But this is MSM, so if you just bother to read the text underneath the headline turns out to be a lie.

    Biden's gonna screw the poor people of Yemen just as hard or harder than Trump did; but he won't be admitting it. He'll do as much (or likely more) to support the KSA, but he'll insist it's general help and that they're great guys, even though they're involved in a war so dirty even Biden doesn't want to admit to supporting it.

    And way too many sleepwalkers with just nod their head and buy it, without actually comprehending anything beyond the headline.
