Saudi plane refueling our help not needed
So the other day the news came out that Trump has halted our aerial refueling of Saudi planes. The media said it was due to pressure being put on him from congress, and he was finally starting to give. Then at the bottom of the article it said something that struck me. It said the Saudis were the ones who halted our assistance, not Trump that halted it. The article said they found other means, and didn’t need our help anymore.

I knew something was up with those articles. It got me wondering, what happened then? Did we do a military contract with them, and sell them all of their own new tankers to refuel on their own? So we researched it, what we found out was even more shocking.
We found out that they never needed us to be assisting them, in refueling in the first place, The Saudis already own 23 aerial refueling tankers. The UAE has 3. We also found that they also don’t need our signal intelligence in order to drop bombs. We found out that Saudi already has 2 Super King airs, that they purchased from us. These are signals intelligence planes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Saudi_Air_Force The UAE has 11 UAV drones that do real time tactical surveillance and reconnaissance, they also have an unknown number of predator drones currently on order, the deal is for 197 million dollars, that order is to be filled by the united states.
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/ar...dators-382497/ The UAE also has 24 S2R Archangel reconnaissance planes, currently on order from the united states. They also have 1 bomber global express on order from Canada.

But as we speak they already have enough signals intelligent to be conducting their own targeting. You may hear the argument, well we are needed to make sure they do careful targeting to avoid civilian casualties. But although the United states is assisting them, and telling them where to drop their bombs, we are still targeting civilians, and farms, and school buses, and grain silos, and water treatment and sanitation facilities. We are conducting a genocide on a civilian population, a modern day holocaust.
You have to wonder why? Why would we do something so heinous? Is it all for job creation? Is it all for defense contracts? I don’t quite know the answer to that. But I do know that in March of 2018 general joseph Votel, urged Trump not to end our aerial refueling to the Saudis. He said it was good for relationship building with the Saudis.
https://www.military.com/daily-news/...men-fight.html I am not sure what kind of relationship we are talking about here. Only a friend ship amongst mass murderers or serial killers could understand the reasoning behind that.
Now that we are armed with this new information, there is no excuse for the United States to be assisting in this genocide against the innocent civilians of Yemen. Let’s use this information to put pressure on our government, and to help congress bring the pressure, to end all of our support to the Saudis for this genocidal war. We should end intelligence support. We should end our arms deals with them. We have given them the arsenal to mass murder innocent civilians, and up to this day we were helping them to do it. These are crimes against humanity and it must end.
I can’t help but wonder, if we are assisting them so that they can get away with this genocide. If we were not assisting them. The world would step in, and demand that they stop this atrocity immediately. But because we are assisting them, it keeps going on unhindered. As we speak thousands are being killed. Millions are starving, and afraid, and in pure misery, and it is all because of what our nation is helping do to them.
The people of Yemen may be fooled into thinking they are headlong into a suni, shia war. But make no mistakes about it, this is a war for profit and power. The lives of the innocent are being used as a commodity, for arms deals, and defense contracts. Their lives are also being traded for back door deals, and alliances by the powerful. The poor people of Yemen have no idea. This is not a religious war. If it is a religious war, then does that mean the United States is fighting a religious war, alongside Saudi, and the UAE, because we are the ones telling them where to drop these bombs, and refueling their planes, before they go drop them?
Could this be a simple case of corporate greed, where we want to assist them so we can prosper, that may be part of it? But I think that is only a sliver of the truth. I think powerful alliances are being formed, and that bigger plans are in the works. I do not believe that it is something that a respectable advanced nation such as ours should be involved in.
The reputation of the United States is being irreparably tarnished as we speak. We are becoming the corporate lords of death, with no discrimination. We need to end this indiscriminate merciless killing, of the innocent of the world. I do not think that it represents the will of the people. I do not want my nation, to murder the innocent in my name, with my tax dollars. Murder of the innocent is not what the United states stands for.
Our lives are not more valuable, or worth more than the other people of the world. We are all the same. We are all human beings, trying to live our lives, on this beautiful earth spinning in the vastness of space. Life is precious for all beings. When us, or our loved ones, become ill, we pray, and cry out to the heavens to have mercy on us, and let us live for one more day, and to be free of suffering. We hope with all of our heart, that our cries are heard.
But our nation is indiscriminately, and mercilessly, dropping bombs on civilians, and starving, and torturing them to death. They said, they have cried to the heavens, but god can’t save them from our wrath. They watch their small beautiful children starve to death, too weak to even cry anymore.
We have the power to save them, we have the power to stop killing these people. We have the power to answer their prayers. We wield the power, but instead of mercy, we kill indiscriminately. We as humans have all known of a time where we were vulnerable, and have cried out to the heavens, and all of us had hoped our cries and prayers would be answered. We should never forget what it feels like to be on the brink of losing your life, or losing the life of someone you love. Remember, we are the ones who wield the power in this particular situation. We are the lords of death, but we could also be the ones who hear the cries of the innocent and decide to save them, instead of kill them.
We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We all feel, and hold onto life equally, and most all beings are afraid to die, and they hold on to life, with all they have. And the loss of a loved one is the hardest most painful thing that can happen to anyone. It is the largest sorrow that we can face. Then why is our nation purposefully causing millions of innocent people to die, and suffer? We need to ask ourselves, do we really want to be a part of this?
Let us step up, and not allow this to happen in our names anymore. Let’s end this ruthless genocide, not just in Yemen, but all ruthless genocide everywhere. Let’s hold our leaders accountable. Demand a civilian death toll be reported from the middle east. No more mass murders in our name. Remember the people of Syria were also tortured, and starved to death. We also mass murdered them, and we still are. We have rained death upon the Middle East. It is time we evolve from these barbaric ruthless practices, and grow as a people.
Our morals, and ideals, should be advancing alongside our technology. If it does not then we will continue to advance, and make more powerful weapons, but have no moral check, on how we use them. If we use them for money, and power, it is a crime against all that is good in the world. We should use our advancements, and technology, for the advancement and betterment, of all mankind. What we are doing now is the opposite of that. It is like we are de-evolving. We are going backwards, instead of forwards. It is time we go forward. Let’s not allow corporate greed to hold back the advancement for all of mankind.
Let us stop allowing crimes like this to be done in our name. Let us use the true power of our democracy to make our voices be heard, and the will of the people be done. Let our representatives take their rightful places, as our representatives. They have proven to us that they do not know better than us. They have proven to be murderous criminals, and they are out of control. It is time to use our voices, and our democracy to remind them, they are our representatives. This is a nation by the people, for the people, let’s see to it that it goes back to it’s proper place. Not with violence, but just simply using the democracy that is already in place. Our democracy is powerful. It is time to stop allowing them to just do whatever they want. We need to make sure they do the will of the people. Let’s not complain and stop participating because we are so tired of their crimes, rather let’s get involved and use our power to make the changes that we seek. Let’s end the corruption and make things right!
Let us end our participation in these monstrous acts throughout the world. Our leaders do not have the right to bring about mass murder, and genocide in our name. They do not have the right to destroy everything that all beings hold dear. They do not have the right to rape, and plunder, our earth, and air, and water, and destroy all that is precious. We simply need to step back in and start doing our part, participate in our democracy. We have the power to change our nation. I hope we do it, and do it with peace, and firm determination.
