The United States is deploying military forces to the Middle East after Saturday's drone attacks on major oil sites in Saudi Arabia that the administration of President Donald Trump has blamed on Iran. "The president has approved the deployment of U.S. forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and missile defense," U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said at a news conference Friday. Esper did not say how many troops would be sent, but said they would be primarily focused on air and missile defenses.

That said we have many other military options available should they be necessary," he said. Saudi Arabia requested what the secretary described as "extra defensive support," he said, and it will "send a clear message that the United States supports our partners in the region." The move was also made with commerce in mind, as the attack included as a target the world's largest oil processing facility. The extra troops would help "ensure the support free flow or resources necessary to support the global economy," Esper said. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1057216 |

sarrki:I bet you know nothing about what's going on for you to say the bolded. Saudi Arabia has been committing so many crimes against humanity for years now, and no one is talking because they are rich and to some extent controls the energy market. Last week drone strike was a result of their on going war in Yemen, were they bomb women and children, heck, last year they bombed a school bus with kids on it, not to mention the numerous hospitals and schools they have smashed to the ground. If they want to fight Houthi, they should do so and let these innocent people be. It's just funny how hypocritical the world is, I fear for humanity! 6 Likes 2 Shares |
