Breaking News: Yemen's Houthis strike Saudi Arabia's Abha airport with missiles and drones in a sharp escalation

[Vortex]

Will the Makkah agreement be activated ?

 

[F.O.X]

The Houthis may have just made their last mistake. These attacks have handed KSA exactly the justification it needed for a much larger military response, and this time Pakistan & turkey could also be pulled into the equation. The gloves are about to come off, and the Houthis may soon realise what they have triggered.

What is more interesting is the apparent lack of any serious Saudi interception attempt. Whether it was a failure or deliberate remains to be seen, but it certainly looks like Riyadh was waiting for a reason to escalate. The Houthis just handed it to them on a silver platter.

Do we have a dedicated thread for Saudi-Houthi conflict?

I think the action of Houthis is beyond any justification and Saudis should invade Yemen to finally get rid of these Houthi terrorists

the houthis are being supported by UAE+Iran nexus.
They get great thrills when they manage to damage Saudi Arabia and its infrastructure. Their dream is to gain control of the 2 holy cities/mosques too.

Careful, you don't want to upset your Iranian members. Houthis are Iran's strategic assets, and part of their "axis of resistance".

Pakistanis have also been cheering them on all these months for attacking shipping in the red sea.

On the contrary,
This is a provocation, as there have been before to dislodge Saudi Arabia from it's position, and to upset its trajectory.

We know who is behind it, and we know who is acting on whose behalf.

Response will come, and it will be strategic.

This seems to be the strongest statement from Pak against Houthis, basically backing Saudi retaliation, which may well mean Pak may be involved in that

UAE has no choice but to side with Saudi Arabia on this issue... UAE sponsored Giants Brigade is going to play a crucial role in the ground offensive.

You seem to have very strong intelligence sources and even stronger think-tank group... can you give us the details.

Houthis are well dug in , you will need sizable ground forces to dislodge them ... Egypt and Pakistan , both are hesitant and no one else has the ground forces to spare.

Any Egyptian soldier goes to Yemen to fight Houthis is considered a terrorist and Houthis have the right to kill him.

we aren't part of Makkah pact and Sudias have the soldiers , they can send their ground troops to fight their own wars.

 

[Desert]

Good luck to houthis.

Will the Makkah agreement be activated ?

It depends completely on KSA, if they need help they can activate the PACT, but to avoid the regional war, and further spread of violence, i think they will hit Houthies back eye for an eye.

 

[Thinking]

Good luck to houthis.

Indeed. They are anti US and Israel force.

Egypt has swindled tons of money from Saudis .... it's payback time , show some fidelity.

Correction : Sisi has swindled tons of money from saudis ...

You you can just f**k off to an Egyptian Defence Forum rather then insulting people.

Oh wait, there is no such thing....
