The UN Security Council went through a tense Friday session unable to come to any agreement on Russia’s push for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in war-torn Yemen.
A Saudi-led war against Yemen, including a naval blockade, has created a massive humanitarian calamity, and even aid groups are saying they’ll have to withdraw from the nation in a few days because they don’t have the supplies to run their own operations, let alone to aid the besieged populace.
Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin marveled at the Western resistance to the resolution, saying he was shocked at the “amazing indecision” among officials who had already agreed that there was a humanitarian crisis there.
It shouldn’t be too surprising, however. The US has joined the Saudi war, and repeatedly publicly endorsed it. Though US diplomats say they support a humanitarian ceasefire in theory, they will only support one in practice that insists the Saudis are totally blameless for the humanitarian crisis, and that it is the Yemeni Shi’ite Houthis who are at fault.
Hopefully, when DC is rightly starved it will readily admit it's their own damn fault. I mean, otherwise it'd be one of those dish-it-out-but-can't-take-it kind of things…which would certainly be unworthy of this nation's leadership…however frequently it's expressed by them regardless.
Buncha damn p—–s.

Yet another fat one to lay at the door of the Peace President.
WTF is wrong with these "western diplomats?" They've all lost their moral compass. And where are press and pundits? If this had been Putin or Xi Jinping or Saddam the US would be shoving missiles and fighter jets up their bungholes…oh, wait…I remember hearing something about that 13 years ago, I think.
The press and pundits are all in that tiny country that just had a really bad earthquake. With all the dead earthquake victims, there's no tears or airtime for dead Yemenis. How convenient for Our Dear Leaders…
It seems the US at this moment considers it a priority to keep good relations with Saudi Arabia. It does not mean that the US think the Saudi Arabian actions are smart of that they are good for anyone.
Then they should prove it. As they say, "actions speak louder than words."
UN should be called UNW, for United Nations of the West. For the West created the UN and now fund most all of the UN and as the old saying goes,, Something for nothing always costs you more then it gives.
