      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

      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...

          Also, we enforce the blockade on Hodeida Port using starvation as a weapon, refuel Saudi jets and we have ground troops there working with Al Qaeda, the terrorists we're supposed to be fighting against. The USA intelligence helps with targets, too.

          Disgusting how people are more concerned with minimizing US involvement than with the conditions of the survivors.

          No, you're just using the children as fodder to further your own narrative that the US is all evil since not once in any of these tweets have you mentioned the name of the country who actually dropped the bomb and have devastated Yemen - Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

          You don't actually care about these kids. If your "US made" rant was genuine, by extension you can also mention the medical equipment used to treat the surviving kids is also "US made" as well as the medicine they will be treated with or that the aid going to Yemen is from the US

          My question is, why are we selling these bombs to anyone? Let them make their own. We don’t need to spend US funds and tech on this. It makes us complicit.

          Sounds like a joint operation. Who else was involved? Why are you putting the sole blame on America?
