They are also bombing Yemen with the support of the United States. [1] Hospitals are bombed, cluster bombs and "chemical" weapons are used, etc. Where is the international outrage and 24/7 news coverage?

Yep and they're bombing it just because SA doesn't have an army. They do have an Air Force though. Saudi Arabia's only option is just to keep bombing Yemen, they have no ability or will to actually invade it. They just use their fancy toys to bomb them to the stone age every day.

  They don’t really have an airborne either. Reality us that the SA Air Force is little more than a cover operation for the American empire. America is paying for it and without direct American support the SA Air Force would not be able to sustain itself mere weeks before consequences started emerging. The Yemen war is an American war, only with Saudi puppets.

Now you know why the US is holding off on talking too much about Russian War Crimes in Ukraine...And only did so when pressed by the Press and the US Vice President usual propensity to gaffes. "...The United States is not a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute),[1] which founded the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002 as a permanent international criminal court to "bring to justice the perpetrators of the worst crimes known to humankind – war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide", when national courts are unable or unwilling to do so.[2]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_Internat...

I sympathize with your consternation about there not being any “outrage” because you are clearly understanding the hypocrisy of the “outrage” that exists about other things. I must assume based on your short statement though that you are not aware that the “outrage” is wholly astroturfed and essentially a weapon system in order to activate another weapon system called public opinion. Until one understands who, how, and why those two loops are controlled, everything else regarding public opinion space is a dead end matter. Just take the current Ukraine topic that the public has been whipped into a hate-week type frenzy about that reminds me of post-9/11 (if most here are even old enough to have first hand memories of that, or know what the hate-week references); that conflict is now at least 8 years old, when the USA and “collective west” launched a despotic coup against the country to install a friendly government, while crying out “our democracy”, followed with 8 years of atrocities against people in the eastern part of the country that no longer wanted to be a part of that and chose to vote to peacefully separate. Most people so outraged about “Ukraine” have no clue what they are supporting or doing or even that they were totally ignorant of atrocities happening for the last 8 years. They don’t even know where Yemen is, or the 5 Ws, because the TV programming has not programmed them to in order to serve the interests of the programmers of humans.

  >>Most people so outraged about “Ukraine” have no clue what they are supporting or doing or even that they were totally ignorant of atrocities happening for the last 8 years. It must be nice living in US(I assume) and being able to be an armchair expert on this. Meanwhile my family is already housing several refugees in their homes and hastily getting their passports renewed in case Russia moves a little bit west. The war is real and affecting real people. But yes, please explain to us how not being familiar with the conflict in Yemen is making my outrage at conflict in Ukraine somehow ignorant. I'm listening.

    No need to be self-righteously snarky. The point you seem to have missed is that you seem to be totally unaware that the war has been "real and affecting real people" for 8 years now when the USA and it's western CIA lackeys completed their orchestrated "color revolution" to depose and install a puppet regime in the Ukraine that then started murdering people in the eastern provinces of ethnically Russian people who decided they don't want to be part of a western vassal state that hates them, abuses them, and discriminates against them. The point being is that people are hypocritical, usually out of ignorance of what is really going on in the world outside of what the programming on the tele-screen has conditioned them to hate during hate week. (In case you did not catch it; those odd terms were references to themes of the shockingly prophetic seeming Orwell novel 1984.)
