What are UK special forces doing in Yemen?

Bristol East

The question came up in Parliament yesterday.

Apparently some were injured.

The MP who raised it acknowledged UK policy is not to comment on special forces, so he asked for a general statement on UK involvement.

“We neither confirm or deny the use of our special forces,” said the Minister.

What is the British military doing in Yemen where there is a proxy war between Sunni (Saudi) and Shia (Iran)?

Killing bad muslims for, or on behalf of the good muslims who give us cash for advanced weapons of war.

Hearts and minds...

Probably what they do best...

Identifying targets for air strikes, calling in those strikes when they can inflict the most damage and painting those targets for the strike aircraft.

And we wonder why they want to commit terrorist attacks against us... Well some of us do, whilst calling all Muslims the enemy and our soldiers are defined as heroes.

With the current calls to take our sovereignty back, maybe our governments need to start respecting the sovereignty of other nations every once in a while.

Hundreds of years of interfering in the middle east and people still want to blame the terrorist and their religion for the attacks in our country, you only have to look at our history to realise why they would want to seek revenge on our country and other western nations...

I think the special forces are carrying out the government policy of mass hypocracy. One week the government (rightly so) condemns the disgusting terror attack on innocent muslims in christchurch....then a week later they are killing dozens of innocent muslims in the middle east with their special forces, air strikes and missiles....makes ya think no?

Anti war . Com

Notice how we had 3 terror attacks in the few weeks prior to the 2017 GE, after Theresa got back from Saudi...

The sovereignty of the Yemen lies with the legitimate government, as recognised by the UN and supported by Saudi Arabia etc.

The problem lies with the Huthi rebels/terrorists supported by Iran. The shocking thing to me is that there isn't more support to kick these terrorists out and to restore the legitimate, recognised government to full control of the country. The fake news reporting just pisses me off.

Idk maybe it is the 18 billion in assets the UK has in Saudi Arabia. 30000 UK citizens there but it's just the US fault.

What ever we are doing there its probably going to result in innocent lives lost in the name of "The war on terror".

Which is going to result in the U.K and its citizens becoming moving targets for extreme terror attacks.

This ^

Just look at some of the responses after your post too.

‘It’s America’s fault’

‘It’ll cause more terrorism’

People are truly ignorant to how complex the region is and speak without knowing a thing about what it is they’re saying. Frustrating.

Stock answer “if only we didn’t bomb the shit out of their country”

Never that simple.

But then I guess these type of commenters never really left their hometown.

Ignorance works both ways

The threads on begum last week showed that.

America does play a huge part in the middle east and the intervention in places like iraq has led to the situation worsening.

There is little doubt about that, but as with history, its not black and white.

However when the west does get involved the root cause is self interest..or defence on their eyes.

If course if you wanted to bereally pitiful you could make notes of what other people have said to try and score some internet points on a swingers forum

But that would be plain embarassing for all concerned.

Was that aimed at me? If it was I’ll need you to be more specific because I have no idea what you’re talking about Lionel.

Of course intervention is self interest. That self interest goes towards maintaining OUR way of life. I think people need to be better educated about the part they play in the geo political manoeuvring that goes on.

But they are smart devices keeping collateral damage low. No more mass air raids like ww2. That is why they were invented.

And they will try and complete those missions without a shot being fired. It's bad news if bullets start flying.
