Trump's Yemen Strike Killed 61 Immigrants and No Combatants

Trump’s Yemen Strike Killed 61 Immigrants and No Combatants - The Intercept

The U.S. military attacked an immigrant detention center in Yemen earlier this year, killing and injuring dozens of Ethiopian civilians, according to a new report by Amnesty International shared with The Intercept. Conducted during the Trump administration’s campaign of air and naval strikes — codenamed Operation Rough Rider — against Yemen’s Houthi government, the strike constituted an indiscriminate attack under international humanitarian law and should be investigated as a war crime, according to Amnesty.

“This was a lethal failure by the U.S. to comply with one of its core obligations under international humanitarian law: to do everything feasible to verify whether the object attacked was a military objective,” said Kristine Beckerle, Amnesty International’s deputy regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, who called on the United States to investigate the attack as a war crime. “The harrowing testimonies from survivors paint a clear picture of a civilian building, packed with detainees, being bombed without distinction.”

immigrants seeking asylum and even legal paths to immigration, inner city civilians and US citizens branded as political opponents ( aka so-called "antifa) smaller countries without the means to pose a significant enough threat) and laugh about the notion of fishermen afraid to get into a boat..

i.e. the TYPICAL targets of A BULLY, but someone like Putin?? No.

Instead, Let's grovel before Putin, be a good wingman (as he was Epstein's) harangue America's allies, roll out a fkng red carpet at a strategic American military base, provide him with (many suspect) classified information, and accuse the leader of an invaded nation of trying to start WW3.

supporters are not just ok with this but it's what they like about Trump.

As long as the ones being hurt and killed are non white they are happy.
