I am disappointed that Trump is not standing up to Saudi Arabia and telling them to go back to the 7th century.
He actually thinks democrats will save this…they're all part of the same bird…
Money talks. War is money for the faceless shareholders of Military Industrial Complex. The hundreds of thousands of deaths of Yemeni children are worth it for these monsters…ask Madeleine Albright…
Last stages of unrestrained capitalism — starving children across the globe.
Iran should count itself lucky. Your arch rival only gives you the opportunity to give them a quagmire once every half century or so. Truly amazing by what they’ve been able to do without doing much at all. It’s reminds me of Operation Cyclone
Murderers
You know what, American government will pay a big price by naturing their own mini Saddam again. The American government has low IQ and never learns its lesson from the past.
Can’t wait to see son MBS shows its claws to Daddy Trump, Pimpeo, thunder bolt , ghost kushner …
Psychopaths
What's the so-called "UNICEF" (the United Nations International Emergency Fund for Children) doing?
Agree
Oh the humanity! Horrible people in Washington DC.
No more war crimes in our name. The American people have had enough!
Thank you for providing this valuable reporting. I just called my senators!
Off the cuff lies of these Mass murdering bastards comes natural. And collective powers has to get a hold of these despots.skull drag the out of there positions to which they can starve infants. Bomb wedding ceremonys basically genacide.!for a moment all people should watch this and put yourself and family in there shoes if there not to busy that is!
Well of course the Military-Industrial-Complex controlled U.S. opposes the end of the (any) war. Dead babies are good for business.
Wilkerson for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 2020. He could bring his party back to party of Lincoln
And the most sad and funny thing is the United States always thanking about human rights , and western values , and women rights and children rights and animals rights
They always lecture others on how to deal with their own people and impose sanctions on others for not following the UN charter on human rights but yet every war in the world for the last 200 years you will see us involved one way or the other
Funny cos this British resolution wasn't even reported here. Too busy talking about brexit bullshit. Go figure
The Trump administration is criminal
This is sick ! The American imperium criminal syndicate continues like a snow plow
Pompeo, Bolton and Mattis belong in front of a military tribunal for war crimes. Convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
damn it
TRUMP AND MSB SHOULD HAVE KIDS TOGETHER!
The United States Constitution sounds like it ISN'T WORTH THE P A PAPER IT WAS WRITTEN ON?
The LAST THING ON MY MIND IF I WERE @ WAR WOULD BE SEX!
There is a reason that most countries polled in December 2013 by Gallup called the United States the greatest threat to peace in the world, and why Pew found that viewpoint increased in 2017. Since World War II, the United States military has killed or helped kill some 20 million people, overthrown at least 36 governments, interfered in at least 84 foreign elections, attempted to assassinate over 50 foreign leaders, and dropped bombs on people in over 30 countries.
We keep Saudi Arabia alive. We destroyed Iran's democracy in 1953. Wonder why they don't like our gov?
Presenter should allow expansion of facial ecosystem migration corridors.
POMPEO IS A PUMPED UP ITALIAN FASCIST IMMIGRANT AND FASCISTS DO NOT POSSES HUMAN FEELINGS.
US is proving itself to be the great satan.
Count the profits in dollars and the costs in lives.
Where is Trump who boasts for his love of the "beautiful babies" in Syria that he used to justify airstrikes? Where is Ivanka Trump who supposedly begged her father to do something for the "beautiful babies" in Syria?
Why is Trump and Ivanka not sharing the same concern for the babies in Yemen like the babies in Syria?
Mike Pompeo might ask the many millions of innocent men, women and children of Yemen NOW facing (what wise observers are accurately describing as) a humanitarian disaster of "Biblical proportions" if ending the war is "poorly-timed". Somebody might ask Mike Pompeo – an unapologetic, self-described, devoted Christian – what advice Jesus Christ might offer. How would Mike Pompeo respond?
Peace.
Against all odds, the poorest country in the region is going to defeat a brutal dictatorship backed by the most powerful countries in the world. Very inspiring.
Twenty eight million people in Yemen. They can't kill them all. They have destroyed the country. How can the people be organized into a peaceful nation? Ten thousand new cases of cholera a week. A child dies every ten minutes. We all have blood on our hands. Yemen is the most popular target for our drones.
Thanks, TRNN. Good stuff.
Pompeo is a psycho. He loves war and death so much he gets hard talking about it. There's good people serving long sentences for a bag of weed,while this monster kills innocent people around the world.
Forget Muhammad ..
Need Jesus..mercy & compassion..
Not expect from USA ..
European union must stand for humanity ..
Please please please ..
USA just cares arm industry .. not you be so ..
The big question is will they allow the village idiot and his paid off cronies to continue to get away with bombing civilians just so they can sell more bombs and missiles? How much longer will the world allow the TERRORISTS in the US government to murder people in the name of the dollar.
Yes , the US is on the cusp of creating another genocide with over a million dead from starvation and disease caused by the bombing of civilians.
there needs to be a recall of all American forces abroad.
Dance as the palaces burn
I note that Congress – meaning Democrats – did not put forward such legislation when Obama illegally took America INTO Yemen without consulting the Legislative Branch. Suddenly, they're terribly, terribly concerned about TRUMP'S "unlimited war powers." Not that I don't wish to see the U.S. out of Yemen, but the lizard-brained hatred of Trump blinds too many people in this country to everything else. If you had the power, and you did and said nothing while Obama took us from two wars to seven, you'll pardon me if I smirk at your efforts now.
Pompigo – "we are on the cusp of killing everyone in Yemen, then hey presto the problem has gone" – great thinking fast boy
War mongers are war mongers! They get money to massacre innocents, and they call it business!!! Insane.
The horrors of Third Reich (Nazis) pale in comparison to the war crimes of the United Snakes of Jewmerica. The war in Yemen is officially classified as "a war of aggression" and has been outlawed by International Convention at the UN. If the UN cannot perform its duties under its Charter, then the UN must be dismantled and replaced with a representative, all inclusive vote from all members rather than just the Security Council.
2 mins 28. Pompeo: "We are on the cusp of getting the US envoy Martin Griffiths …"? He probably is the US envoy, not the UN envoy.
