    Did you know that on this past Thursday a bomb from the United States was dropped on this bus of young schoolboys in Yemen? It killed 40 boys. It blew them to unrecognizable bits. Deadlier than any single attack on children in American history. Absolutely devastating.pic.twitter.com/JmCIiQ9hZ8

        Another photo of a school boy hit by a US bomb that was dropped on a school bus in Yemen. One of the few survivors. Trying to determine if the bomb was made by @LockheedMartin or @Raytheon but the fragments have unmistakably clear US markings.pic.twitter.com/jBWTO1xT1S

        Can you further explain the “bomb from the United States”? Your used words to make it sound like the US themselves dropped the bomb, and I think that those who have such a large follower base should clarify for all of us to truly understand.

        US companies made the bomb. US companies sold the bomb. The US government helped negotiate the sale of the bomb. And US intelligence helped the operation. Hope that clarifies.

        But ultimately it was Saudi Arabia that dropped the bomb... not mentioning them absolves them of the crime.

        I appreciate your response. It clarifies my original question. And though others have explained the original post, I think clarifying those involved is better for many reasons.

        So the answer is yes, the Americans and Saudis are responsible. Americans figured out logistics and Saudis pushed the button. Imagine this is a bus in New York...

        Bush, Obama, and Trump have been dropping bombs on innocent people. It's nothing new

        True. And @shaunking has been consistently calling out such atrocities - no matter who was the president at the time. He may prefer one candidate over another, but he is non-partisan and race-agnostic when it comes to violence against innocent people.

        Saudi Arabia is responsible for their deaths, not the United States. Your effort to claim the USA is responsible is lying and disinformation.

        both are responsible for their deaths. Saudia arabia dropped the bomb, the US built it and sold it to saudia arabia and supports the air strikes.

        The US also provides target coordinates and refuels the Saudi bombers in mid-air.
