Yemen:

  
The Hill، US newspaper, published a report, written by Bonnie Kristian, in which she said that the current US President, Trump, followed Obama by continuing US involvement in the war on Yemen.

 

She explained that Trump campaigned against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, but he often seemed to govern against former President Barack Obama, touting differences between the two administrations long after Obama’s departure and blaming Obama’s past record for present problems (including some it is chronologically impossible for Obama to have caused). She continues by saying that Trump has not only refrained from dismantling Obama’s legacy but actually entrenched it further when it comes to U.S. involvement in Yemen’s "civil war," as she describes the six years US-Saudi aggression.

"In Yemen, Trump picked up where Obama left off, and he has overwhelmingly maintained that status quo throughout his tenure. He even fought Congress to maintain it, issuing half of his eight vetoes to keep backing the Saudi-UAE-led coalition over bipartisan congressional objection. As Trump’s term comes to a close, he leaves Yemen largely as Obama left it — in a policy sense, that is. In a humanitarian sense, Yemen is far worse now than four years ago, having suffered through another four years of epidemic illness (now including COVID-19), starvation, blockade and violence."

 

Bonnie concluded the report by highlighting the failure of the US-Saudi war and mainly the US policy toward Yemen. “Trump has failed in Yemen exactly as Obama did, by unjustifiably and illegally supporting an intervention that does innocent Yemenis deep harm and does the United States no good," she said. 

 

The real question, however, we should be asking Bonnie is whether the decision to kill the Yemeni People for six years is based on who is in the White House or based on the general approach of the US toward Yemen. Bonnie should consider other factors than just the personality of the US President and it's administration style and look further to the US policy and desire to conquer the region including Yemen. Bonnie has a lot of homework to do before she concludes the problem based on Trump's or Obama's failure.
