The US has sided again with its allies in Saudi Arabia over continuing the war with Yemen. The Journal says it was "over the objections of staff in the State Department". That seems about right what with all the resistance going on with other elements of the Federal Government. They are getting more and more brazen every day. We should note that the Intelligence Committee was brazen enough to countermand the order of the President of the United States when he ordered the declassification of a FISA warrant used to start the investigation currently run by Director Mueller. It would almost seem natural for the Clinton State Department to have many embedded supporters in the weeds of all those bureaucrats. There are too many of them in State and Justice. This is where politics should end.
The Saudis are fighting Iran in this proxy war and doing better than they had been. If we actually thought it was in US interests to back off of that fight, then we would be favoring Iran in this mess. That would be a mistake. Iran is worse than most of our other enemies in sponsoring terrorism and undermining the development of the Middle East. In spite of visits from John Kerry who seems to be on some other planet, Iran is not very trustworthy and certainly not a friend of ours. They don't need any help undermining the Middle East, and the Saudis have decided to stop that at the source. The Yemen rebels fired a number of medium range missiles into Saudi territory. Do we want that to start all over again?
This is resistance gone mad, becoming a second government trying to rule without being elected. That isn't resistance as we usually think about it. That is mutiny.
