That's how often a child dies in Yemen because of the civil war there, a conflict in which the United States is supplying Saudi Arabia (and possibly Jared Kushner's BFF MBS) with the weapons that bring about this chilling statistic.
In late September, Rep. Ro Khanna (D - CA) co-sponsored a bill which would (finally) involve Congress, in its Constitutionally-mandated role - that of declaring war. One of the resolution's Republican co-sponsors, Rep. Thomas Massie (R - KY) said It’s long past time Congress held a debate and vote as to whether U.S. soldiers and personnel should be involved in this war.
U. S. soldiers and personnel are not on the ground in Yemen. But our military supports the Saudi-led coalition fighting rebels backed by Iran. The aid we give the Saudis includes arms sales and aerial refueling
of jets, which then carry out airstrikes in Yemen, that in turn kill a child every 10 minutes.
