In an effort to fight terror groups operating in the region, the US government has given over $500 million in weapons and equipment to Yemen's government, which recently collapsed. US officials have subsequently lost track of the weapons and fear that they have fallen into the hands of al-Qaeda or Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.

So get in there and steal them back. We taxpayers didn't pay $500 million in order to arm the other bad guys too. :mad:

This is not the solution I was hoping for :(

As a result, the Defense Department has halted shipments to Yemen of about $125 million in military hardware that were scheduled for delivery this year, including unarmed ScanEagle drones, other types of aircraft and Jeeps. That equipment will be donated instead to other countries in the Middle East and Africa, the defense official said.

I strongly feel that our glorious Minister of Truth needs a big raise. How can he even keep up anymore?

Russia is just waiting for the next big shipment of weapons and technology to be delivered to them for free via Ukraine because of the simplistic tards in DC who still think charlies war was a net positive.
