Yep, recent reports reveal that as the US continues to supply Saudi Arabia with armaments and other military assistance for its genocide in Yemen, we
are also funding al Quaeda linked militias there.
How many Americans understand that our government has been cooperating for years with al Quaeda networks in both Yemen and Syria (here and here)? Not many.
Welcome to the completely immoral, conscience-free world of warfare American style.
Sadly, Senator Chris Murphy’s proposed amendment to the new Pentagon 
appropriations bill (itself a moral travesty we will discuss another day), which would have ended US support for Saudi atrocities, went down to defeat. Take a moment to watch the Senator’s defense of the amendment, complete with details about our involvement in Saudi war crimes.
Let’s all continue to pray for an end to this war and for a peaceful settlement determined by the Yemeni people, not by the US, Saudi Arabia or Iran.
In fact, while we are praying for peace, let’s not forget that American troops continue to fight, die and kill others in many other countries world-wide.
The latest official war report from the White House, called the “Report on the Legal and Policy Frameworks Guiding the United States’ Military Force and Related National Security Operations,” admits to active military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Niger — 7 countries!
And those are only the unclassified wars. Who knows how many other places there may be around the globe where US troops are fighting, dying and killing innocent civilians.
According to DefenseOne, America’s global war on terrorism now involves 39% of the world’s countries! Check out the map of global US military activity here.
Is it any wonder that most people around the world see the United States as THE greatest threat to world peace?
Under president Trump, the number of US troops deployed in war zones around the world has only increased.
And do I need to repeat the often noted insanity displayed by declaring war against a tactic, i.e. terrorism?!
By such ridiculousness is the American public manipulated. For this absurd mantra — the war against terror — has never been anything more, or less,
than a big, fat, blank check for the arrogance and cruelty of American empire. Let’s not be so naive as to believe the official propaganda insisting that America only fights to bring other people freedom. Such blind patriotism demonstrates a profound ignorance of history.
Every right-thinking Christian is bound to abhor and to condemn all these features of US foreign policy.
My goodness, there is a LOT for all of us to add to our prayer lists.
