I realize it's probably too much to ask for a major party candidate to comment on US complicity in a Syria-level humanitarian catastrophe, but I just thought I'd check.

Could Trump even find Yemen on a map?

The obvious answer is "No" (and neither can 75% of his supporters).

The same could be said for Hillary's supporters to be sure.  I realize however that it's only politically correct to call poor white people dumb idiots.  Implying the same about the bulk of Hillary's support would be racist!!1

Is there something new going on in Yemen? I've hardly heard about it since the Arab Spring when its president was nearly killed.

A group of Shiite rebels captured the capital and the country descended into civil war; Saudi Arabia has been brutally bombing the country for about a year now, killing many civilians.

The US is supporting the Saudis in their 'anti-terror' war there.

Neither of them have said anything about Western Sahara either. Sad!

It's become a horribly complicated mess. The Saudi puppet government control the port of Aden, with lots of help from the UAE and mercanaries from Sudan and elsewhere. The old Yemeni president, along with Shiite tribesman from the north have stopped the invasion  elsewhere, launched incursions into Saudi Arabia, and sometimes fire ballistic missiles at invading forces and Saudi cities. Al Qaeda and ISIS have seized chucks of territory, apparently with Saudi Arabia's support, but everyone else involved, including the Saudi's allies, has been fights AQ and ISIS. We've been giving Saudi Arabia a ton of support, but recently cut it way back, maybe because the Saudis were bombing too many hospitals.

Maybe we could send TrumpMiller there on a fact-finding tour?

Honestly, I would be extremely surprised if more than 5% of the entire US population can pick out Yemen on a map. For Trump supporters it is probably below 1%.
