The Beautiful & Damned: Washington’s Hypocrisy Exposed as Children Die from Sanctions and MissilesEvery time a Trump administration official pontificates about this or that, a TV split-screen should simultaneously show the heart-rending burial scenes of Yemeni children killed earlier this month by US-supplied Saudi warplanes.
Not just Yemen. How about children starving in North Korea from US economic sanctions? Or Syrian infants living in refugee camps, forced from their homes by US-backed militants? Or Iranian babies facing the toll of vindictive American policies?
Not just the Trump administration. Every American administration has shown the callous ability to allow the killing of children en masse, either through war or economic siege.
Think of Cuba, blockaded continuously by Washington for over five decades, for no other reason than its having a socialist government.
Think of former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who callously said the sanctioning-to-death of Iraqi children was“worth it”
In Yemen, thousands of children have been killed over the past three years from air strikes in the US-backed war on that impoverished country. For every one of those deaths, Washington bears responsibility for supplying missiles, bombs, warplanes, mid-air fueling and targeting logistics to the Saudi military.
But it was the massacre earlier this month in Yemen’s northern Saada province that stands out as a particular horror.

“NOT COMMERCIALLY VIABLE” – BRITISH AIRWAYS, AIR FRANCE, KLM AXE FLIGHTS TO IRANA British Airways (BA) spokesperson announced the move, which comes after the latest round US sanctions went into effect against Iran this month: “We are suspending our London to Tehran service as the operation is currently not commercially viable.”
Earlier this month the US warned Britain that it must back the Trump White House’s tough stance on Iran or “face serious trade consequences”.
