Visiting the city of Jeddah, Secretary of State John Kerry announced a deal with Saudi Arabia on a
new "peace initiative" related to the ongoing Saudi invasion of Yemen. As with all previous such initiatives,
Kerry's statement laying out the plan demanded that the Shi'ite Houthis, who the Saudis are fighting,
must immediately surrender all territory and unilaterally disarm before being allowed to participate in any talks.The Saudis attacked Yemen in March of 2015, demanding the Houthis surrender all territory to former President Abd-Rabbu Mansour
Hadi, who lost the capital city to them in a failed military offensive against the Shi'ite north, and subsequently resigned in January.The US backed the Saudi war, and has been conducting
refueling operations for the Saudi warplanes bombing Yemen, which have killed thousands of civilians over the last year and a half, and which are fueling increasing international condemnation.
Though US officials occasionally issue statements urging "all sides" to stop killing civilians, they continue to
support the Saudis more or less unconditionally. In the course of Kerry's comments, he quickly shifted focus away from Yemen and angrily
condemning Iran as a "
threat to the United States," comments which always play well to a Saudi audience.
Comment: Kerry's grand act of diplomacy is more-less staged to stroke and placate the House of Saud, as in condemning Iran, whose arming of the Houthis "poses a threat to the US." (No, wink wink, it just means the longer the war goes on, more arms sales for the US to SA, ka-ching.)
Kerry's deal includes the "withdrawal of forces from Sanaa and other key areas", and the "transfer of all heavy weapons including ballistic missiles and launchers from the Houthis and forces allied with them to a third party." Any ideas who that might be? It is unlikely the Houthis are this stupid. However, there are the Saudis...
to be this entity called John Kerry... once a promising puppet of the elite, now just a pathetic tool of their propaganda dept with only these PR jobs to do like the royal family in Britain... sad, very, very sad, but then he made this choice, right? Life imitates art, right? I wonder if the Kerry doesn't think of Brando at times like this? Surely he can hear those words? his political career could have bloomed, I can almost he Kerry think to himself: "You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you"... yes, it was always you Charley, and they always take the bait, don't they?
