The 'arc of instability' - the Western strategy of creating chaos all along Russia's borders in order to contain Russia and maintain their hegemony.
It was only last year that President Obama was
praising the way Yemen was 'progressing', meaning of course that the government in Yemen was aligned with the interests of the US without them having to send in the troops to bully the nation into submission.
The US president said: "You look at a country like Yemen - a very impoverished country and one that has its own sectarian or ethnic divisions - there, we do have a committed partner in President Hadi and his government. And we have been able to help to develop their capacities without putting large numbers of US troops on the ground at the same time as we've got enough CT, or counterterrorism capabilities that we're able to go after folks that might try to hit our embassy or might be trying to export terrorism into Europe or the United States."
This 'successful' Yemeni model as Obama called it was supposed to serve as a model for 'peace' in Syria and Iraq, meaning that the US was contemplating a 'peaceful' transition of power in Syria and replacing it with a puppet regime that would fuel the US-led war on terror, that is, help them 'fight' the terror menace that they and their partners propped up in the first place.
Obama described the existing partnership between Washington and Yemen in the fight against terrorism as "ideal" and said "we are looking at establishing a similar model to be part of the solution in Syria and Iraq, but if we want to do this, we need actual governments on the ground that we can partner with and that we've got some confidence are going to pursue the political policies of inclusiveness."
As with all statements made by Obama, this makes no sense since the Syrian government has been fighting foreign-backed terrorist proxies, or folks that might try to hit US embassies, as Obama calls them, for years, while the US along with their committed 'partners' in the region are the
responsible parties that have been arming, funding and sending these folks to fight their wars, and at the same time serving as an excuse to justify their illegal invasions of Syria and Iraq or any other nation that gets in their way.
The narrative that is being served on a plate for the consumption of the Western audience by the media concerning the conflict in Yemen is that the head choppers ruling Saudi Arabia are bombing Yemen in an attempt to restore a democratically elected president back to power, all of which is fully endorsed and supported by the US. It only shows that the script writers for the media mouthpieces think that we are all both stupid and gullible at the same time.
