U.S. Is Quietly Aiding a Deadly War in Yemen

Sarah Whitson, LA Times
It's relatively well known that the U.S. and Britain are contributing to the war effort as the lead providers of the Saudi coalition's arsenal. Saudi Arabia has been on a global arms shopping spree and is now the world's largest purchaser of weapons. It contracted for at least billion in weapons from the U.S. and almost .3 billion in weapons from Britain in 2015. The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia's main partner in the Yemen war, is not far behind, as the world's fourth-largest purchaser of weapons, acquiring .07 billion from the US and .5 million from Britain last year.
