President Joe Biden will announce an end Thursday to U.S. support for a grinding five-year Saudi-led military offensive in Yemen that has deepened human suffering in the Arabian peninsula’s poorest country, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.

It is impressive how his overt support for Team 9/11 didn't phase a single Republican!

Pandering to Israel and Saudi has been solid bipartisan politics for as long as I have been around.

You were downvoted, but you're right. This might be the first time in a long while that something was done by a US president that actually opposes Saudi Arabia.

Has nothing to do with being right or not. I was downvoted, because I implied that Trump did anything good.

So you're implying that Trump ran the country for 5 years? Your beloved savior Obama graciously gave up power a year early?

Would you care to elaborate further on this? I'm not following you. Yes, this is a serious question.

DeathMonkey's quote: "President Joe Biden will announce an end Thursday to U.S. support for a grinding five-year Saudi-led military offensive in Yemen"
We're one month into 2021. Subtract 5 years, and that puts us 1 month into 2016. That was about when the primary elections for the 2016 election were starting. Trump and Hillary hadn't even collected enough primary votes to secure the nominations. Obama was still president.
DeathMonkey consistently, without fail, paints the republicans as 100% pure evil. He is almost as reliable painting the democrats as pure good, but sometimes he wishes for more communism than they deliver.
Here the implication is that Orange Man Bad because of... probably racism or stealing oil or something. (to use democrat terms, DeathMonkey used a dogwhistle) DeathMonkey failed to do the math. His beloved Obama was president when the war started.

And, where is he wrong in that? Only 11 Republicans in the house voted to condemn the pure evil bat-shit insane QAnon Marjorie Crazy Greene today. Pure evil, without let or hindrance. DeathMonkey is right. What is your problem, Mr. Evil McEvilface?

I wish I was a bot. A lot easier to match wits with you. A Markov chain would be a little bit more intelligent in comparison to you, but it is a fairer fight than trying to bring me all the way down to your level.

Your litmus test is poorly chosen, to the point of absurdity. You act as if no one could possibly have any reason not to vote in agreement with you. Anytime ANYONE does that, even people I think highly of and generally agree with, I become very suspicious and with very good reason. The entire premise of Democracy is we can disagree and negotiate, not that we can purge minorities for wrong-think until we get agreement.

Just because you are paranoid, that does not mean you cannot be stupid at the same time!
But, we should be able to disregard the crazy, who are a minority, and they do not have "wrong-thing": they are wrong, and they can't think, because of all the voices in their heads, and the radio-tranmissions leaking through their tin-foil hat, and the jonesing from coming off of adrenochrome. We will not get agreement from the insane, we have to give them proper medical care, like an "I-love-me" jacket and a room decorated with matresses on all the walls. Certainly keep them away from guns and Capitol buildings.
