    Did we supply those countries with weapons to commit genocide?

    I personally think it’s stupid to not vote for Biden but your argument doesn’t really make sense.

      Yes, the USA literally sent weapons to the Saudis to bomb Yemen,

      Also if you don’t supply weapons to a country, they shouldn’t have sympathy??? You are the one who doesn’t make sense

        No, but if the USA doesn’t supply weapons there’s nothing the citizens of the US can do about it. This is an issue they can actually affect by pressuring the US President.

        Also, good point on Yemen. Hopefully this is helping people realize how many places around the world the US is causing pain and suffering for.
