BC, I wonder about whether America will continue helping Saudi Arabia out in its proxy war in Yemen.

This was a pet project by my congressman, Ro Khanna:

INTERVIEW: Ro Khanna says ending Yemen war should be a priority for Biden | Congressman Ro Khanna (house.gov)

Recently, when asked about Brandon bowing to the Saudis (or fist-bumping, whatever), Ro Khanna criticized the trip, "It makes no sense."

Democrat Khanna hits Biden energy policy, trip to Saudi Arabia: 'It makes no sense' (msn.com)
REP. KHANNA: First of all, look, the crown prince MBS hacked an American journalist to death - [Jamal] Khashoggi - and there was legitimate bipartisan outrage. The president ran saying he was going to make Saudi Arabia a pariah state, that he was not going to engage MBS. They're still engaged in a brutal war in Yemen. And I don't think that he should go meet with MBS until MBS takes some accountability for the murder of the American journalist and until they bring the war to Yemen to an end. But look at the irony. We're going in begging Saudi Arabia for oil while we're exporting our own oil around the world. I mean, it makes no sense. And the Saudis are going to play us. I don't I have no confidence that the Saudis are going to do something that's actually going to bring prices down in this country.
This is a Democrat who has a clue.

In other words, Germany is facing a total industrial collapse; meanwhile, the media continues to repeat the increasingly more laughable propaganda that Putin is losing the war.

Exactly..

Russia, if it so chooses, could shut off all exports of gas, oil and coal to Germany at any time. Doing so would collapse the German economy and throw the EU into chaos. And they're still yapping about building more windmills. Greenie suicide..

So who's sanctioning and threatening who with what? And who holds the winning cards in this poker game?
