For too long, the United States has turned a blind eye to the atrocities being committed against civilians in Yemen by the Saudi-U.S. coalition. Just last month, the Saudi led coalition dropped a U.S. made bomb in a devastating attack on a school bus that killed 40 children, just the latest in a long string of horrors in this genocidal war that has killed tens of thousands of Yemeni civilians with bombs and mass starvation, creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Yet, today in Yemen, our military continues to wage this interventionist war alongside Saudi Arabia, unauthorised by Congress. The time for crocodile tears and baseless platitudes is over. Enough is enough. The U.S must end its support for Saudi Arabia and stop waging interventionist wars that increase destruction, death and suffering around the world…
Typically, one gets to hear this kind of rhetoric from the likes of Vladimir Putin or Bashar al-Assad. But this isn’t a quote from the Russian President or the Syrian President. It is a quote from a speech by an American Congress Woman who is running to be the President of the United States in 2020 – Tulsi Gabbard.
Such rhetoric, critical of the United States of America and its foreign policy interventions, is a useful tool for the Russians in their propaganda war against the United States. Russia’s 24 hour English news channel, RT, posted her video clip on their YouTube channel with the headline that reads ‘Speeches that still matter: Rep Gabbard on bringing an end to U.S. interventionism.’
