The U.S. air support of Saudi air strikes in Yemen and the Iraqi army at Tikrit- 2015
03/28/2015
The U.S. finds itself on both sides of the conflict involving Iran after years of inaction under the Obama administration- using airstrikes for supporting the Saudis against Iranian backed Houthi rebels in Yemen who advanced into the southern port city of Aden in March 2015, and using airstrikes supporting the Iraqi army at Tikrit. Policy determined by an evolving situation in the Middle East reacting to facts on the ground at each step, and not able to formulate a coherent policy, after leaving the region to the influence of regional powers and sectarian conflicts under the Obama administration.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
