Biden defends his planned meeting with Saudi Arabia’s murdering Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (known as MBS), saying it is meant not only to bolster U.S. interests but also to bring peace to the region. A trip to a Yemeni refugee camp is not on the itinary.
Regards the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Biden insists no country has a right to invade another land and attempt to bomb its people into submission and that there can be no blockades hindering the transport of food.
The war has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, creating an unprecedented level of hunger in Yemen, where millions of people face severe hardship.
Some 17.4 million Yemenis are food insecure; by December 2022, the projected number of hungry people will likely rise to nineteen million. The rate of child malnutrition is one of the highest in the world, and nutrition continues to deteriorate.
2003 and the invasion of Iraq brought the slogan "No War for Oil"
To ensure Saudi Arabia's cooperation in the global oil supply the price Biden is paying to support Saudi Arabian military aggression, the slogan is now "No Peace for Oil"
