Well, of course the Saudis are part of the imperial club. Their coalition's latest move in Yemen is to take the port which serves as the sole conduit of food supplies for the 18 million Yemenis in Houthi territory, 10 million of whom are already on the brink of starvation. Having failed on the battlefield despite their great wealth, superiority in weapons, and air support from the US and UK, they are reduced to trying to starve 18 million people into submission.Quote:
