War

Over 20 million lives are at risk from violence, starvation and lack of medical care in Yemen due to the ongoing US orchestrated holocaust currently being conducted in the country.  A UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) report downplayed the ongoing catastrophe by undercounting civilian casualties since conflict began last March 2015. SteveLendmanBlog reports: The world community remains largely indifferent, ignoring an entire population at risk. Millions may perish before conflict ends. Nothing is being done to prevent it. Fighting shows no signs of abating.

Libya, much like Syria, is a case study in why the West would be better off not intervening in the affairs of sovereign states on the way to bringing about regime change. “Toppling dictators” sounds good in principle, but at the end of the day, it’s nearly impossible to predict what will emerge from the power vacuums the US creates when Washington destabilizes governments.

A Russian Security Council (SCRF) report suggests that 2016 will be the year that the government of the United States completely collapses, following a civil war amongst its citizens.
