Saudi Arabia denies targeting civilians and defended the incident as a "legitimate military operation" and a retaliatory response to a Houthi ballistic missile from the day before.

...former US President Barack Obama banned the sale of precision-guided military technology to Saudi Arabia over "human rights concerns."
The ban was overturned by the Trump administration's then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in March 2017.

I know our monetary/military relationship runs deep with SA (we give them goodies, they let us operate in the region), but just maaaaaaybe undoing the ban on precision guided munitions wasn't the best idea. It's almost like Obama was smart or something.

I doubt the US will have a Tony Stark/Iron Man moment where we decide it's no longer a good idea to sell certain people weapons, though.

Seriously, our support for the war in Yemen should have ended long ago.

Didn't KSA do this before, like isn't that why Obama blocked the sale of precision munitions in the first place? But of course, anything Obama did "must be undone" by Kremlin Agent Orange. I bet he and Rex are really proud of themselves.
