In times of war the law falls silent.

Pretty good considering they've been getting hit by them for at least two years now.

The previous unnamed administration have a 60b deal...

I don't see the stretch ...if we let them go Winchester, then what?

Seems rather odd to have a US Prez, being advertised in a city that undergoes occasional bombing.

The previous administration also offered $115B in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia in 8 years.

This deal is, in part, a deal that was frozen by Obama over air strikes in Yemen, along with some other weapons packages. It could potentially include Littoral Combat Ships, aircraft, and M1A2S tanks, and go as high as $350B over 10 years.

Obama visited in 2015 and 2016. This isn't the first time.

Unconfirmed report Yemen shot down a Saudi F-15.

Thanks for your answers Zap.
But wanted to emphasize the oddness in another way.
Meaning:

Would the CIA and Secret Service really and truly allow an acting US Prez to make such a loud entrance into a "true" war-zone?
In other words: maybe there is no "clear and present" danger there for the Prez?
Maybe the missile attacks are all just smoke and mirrors?

I don't think starting a war counts as an impeachable offence. Not legally.

Neither does eating too much ice cream but they'll jump on anything at this point

Not the first time this was claimed. The last time they showed pictures of an external fuel tank that was jettisoned and claimed an entire aircraft was shot down.

The Patriot has been doing fairly well against the missiles fired at them. And the sheer odds of one being fired at them on the days that he is there, and hitting where he is are looked at as well.

Ok. Thanks.
Am probably imagining conspiracy, where there is none.

Perhaps he'll be visiting Damascus and Beirut, before he flies home over eastern Ukrainian airspace? (Just kidding.)

Oh yeah and those SUPER HIGH TECH FROGFOOTS WILL DEFY THEIR LIMITS TO SHOOT HIM DOWN RIGHT?(caps for extreme sarcasm)

Is it really the Iranians that are stirring up chaos in Yemen, or is it the usual suspects?
