    And what shall we thank McCain for? The arming of jihadists in Libya and Syria? Or the backing of the neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine and the championing of the lies that led to Iraq’s war? With McCain’s career of warmongering - this bill included - there’s just so much to choose from.
    President Trump signs the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act, but doesn't thank Sen. John McCain

    Instead of entirely halting weapons sales to Saudi Arabia after US-made bomb fragments were found at the school bus massacre site in Yemen where 40 children were killed, the Pentagon says “we may never know” who supplied it. Utterly shameful.

    Final toll of the Saudi/US/UK airstrike on Yemen last week: "Of the 51 people who died in the airstrike, 40 were children . . . . of the 79 people wounded, 56 were children."

    For years now, Yemeni civilians - many kids - have been slaughtered en masse using U.S. bombs, including illegal cluster bombs provided directly by the US to the Saudi regime for this purpose. Remember this (2010): & this (2016):

    Several Arab countries spent a total of $137 billion on jihadist armed groups to wreak havoc in Syria and terrorize the Syrian people. Imagine if this money was spent on fighting poverty across the Arab world instead.

    Something British Prime Minister Theresa May doesn’t want you to know: Since Saudi Arabia began bombing and starving the people of Yemen in March 2015, the UK government has increased arms sales to the dictatorship in Riyadh by almost 500%.

    What corporate media outlets won’t have in their headlines today: Fragments of a 500-pound MK-82 guided bomb from US weapons giant Lockheed Martin were found at the site where Saudi Arabia massacred dozens of children on a school bus in Yemen.

    I never knew Saudi Arabia had such a great sense of humour. Kinda like the Saudi Onion or something
    Not a joke: Propagandists in Saudi Arabia - the last country on the planet to let women drive and which continues to treat women as second-class citizens - say that Canada is the “world’s worst oppressor of women”.

    Because the important thing is that he "snubbed" McCain, not that the Congress once again passed by overwhelming bipartisan majorities a gargantuan spending bill that exceeded even Trump's initial budget request

    That awkward moment when the ex-CIA Director who staged coups, lied about jihadists being “moderate rebels” and headed a drone program that killed thousands of innocent people, including many children, wants to lecture us about truth, freedom and goodness.
    You’re absolutely right. If you were “presidential,” you would focus on healing the rifts within our Nation, being truthful about the challenges we face, & showing the world that America is still that shining beacon of freedom, liberty, prosperity, & goodness that welcomes all. …

    Your father, and mother during the Obama admin, sanctioned the use of Depleted Uranium in Iraq which killed and poisoned countless Iraqis, and contaminated their land indefinitely - you don't genuinely care about anyone's safety - otherwise you'd condemn your parents actions, too
    Asbestos was one of the first carcinogens regulated under the Clean Air Act in 1973 (Nixon was president) and then was largely banned in 1989 (George HW Bush was president). No amount of asbestos is safe. Yet, the Trump administration is or making asbestos great again: …

    Great news. ISIS is on the verge of collapse as the Syrian Army has liberated most of east Sweida—where one of the worst terrorist attacks in Syria ever perpetrated by ISIS jihadists took place, killing at least 256 civilians.

    Wondering why British Prime Minister Theresa May is dead silent on her ally Saudi Arabia bombing a school bus full of children in Yemen 48 hours ago? Because her government sells more arms to the barbaric Saudi regime than any other country in the world.

    So Facebook donates millions to the Atlantic Council, NATO's propaganda arm, which, in turn, gives Facebook its marching orders as to which accounts to terminate. There's no question: The time has come for a mass exodus from Facebook.

    Your government is facilitating your ally Saudi Arabia’s genocide in Yemen. Just like the Obama administration before it. How about a call to end all US support for the Saudi-led coalition instead of this lousy excuse for a statement?
    RT : "The images of the strike in Yemen that killed innocent civilians – including children – are appalling. The death of innocent civilians in war, under any circumstance, to include their use as human shields, is unacceptable.…

    If Putin or Assad had massacred dozens of schoolkids on a bus heading to summer camp in Yemen instead of US-UK-armed Saudi Arabia, the global outrage and mainstream media coverage would be endless.
    “Saudi Arabia murdered 40 or 50 small children in cold blood on a school bus just 48 hours ago. If you didn’t listen to this show last night you don’t possibly know that. Can you imagine 40 or 50 school children being murdered…

    Children in Yemen slaughtered by Saudi Arabia with US and UK weaponry very seldom garner any outrage in the press. But Syria’s children allegedly killed in unsubstantiated gas attacks are plastered across every “news” outlet there is. Corporate media journalism in a nutshell.
    These children were on the way to school from a picnic when they were killed by a Saudi-led bombing

    If John McCain isn’t calling for a country to be bombed or destabilized, he’s clamoring for a nation to be sanctioned. The guy spends as much time warmongering as he does breathing.
    Good to see moving forward with new sanctions on ’s for its chemical attack in . Congress must continue to exercise strong oversight to ensure these sanctions are swiftly & fully implemented.

    How many more children in Yemen does Saudi Arabia have to massacre before the US, UK, Canada, France and Germany stop selling billions worth of arms to this horrific regime which regularly uses these very same weapons to bomb schools, hospitals, weddings and now buses?
    A bus carrying children on a field trip in Yemen was hit by an airstrike the Saudi-led coalition describes as a "legitimate military operation." At least 29 of the children were killed.

    The very same powers who bombed Syria over false claims of sarin gas attacks because they “care about the children”, are assisting Saudi Arabia as it slaughters children in Yemen with sheer impunity—the latest being a bombing of a school bus full of kids today. Let that sink in.
