Manage episode 337180799 series 3379809
President Joe Biden is ending the United States’ support for Saudi Arabia in the Yemen civil war. Yemen has been in a civil war since 2014, it is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Earlier this month, President Biden called off U.S. support for the war, and instead focused on ending the war.
The United Nations describes Yemen as the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis, with 80% of its people in need and millions on the verge of a large-scale famine. According to UNICEF, with the pandemic spreading, Yemen is facing an “emergency within an emergency.”
Do you see the Biden administration’s act for diplomacy valid and optimistic, maybe even realistically successful?
Should we maintain a military presence for the sake of national security?
Should we get ourselves involved in humanitarian issues or stay out of them?
