- Iran used Uzair Baluch for Spying
- Iran's is one of the border which is somewhat secure compared to India/Afghanistan
- Iran has give its strategically located chahbar Port to India, from where they have funded and supported BLA, Kulbhushan Yadev is still sitting in our jails rotting.
- Iran also recruited/funded and brain washed Pakistani' Shia's to be part of Liwa Zainabyun group which if i remember correct Pakistan govt is not very fond off and a declared Terrorist group.

Saudi also did the same with ttp, al qaeda etc

Saudis did a lot more than that. They exported their entire OBL/Alqaeda problem to Pakistan/Afghanistan and let them bear the brunt of 9/11.

Problem is the Houthis are a bit like the Afghans

Thick as shit tribal numbskulls at heart

So beyond that thick as shit tribal thinking they don't see anything or have a real plan beyond bravado

And now they are yapping at Pakistan, Turkey and others..when the idiots should focus on Israel and not antagonize Saudi

It is a fair analogy, though Iranian friends may feel offended at these harsh truths.

The Houthis appatently have a "non-aggression" pact with USA, (as per Trump, so maybe take it with a pinch of salt).

If true, herein lies the problem as I see it.

They signal "localised conflict only" (N.B. remember what Talibs used to tell us - "saar we only are concerned about Afghanistan and Afghan interests...but yes, we harbour Al Qaeda and TTP who are guests saar"). To an extent, it can be argued that they do indeed stay locally concerned in Yemen.

But they reference the usual global ummah project (Palestine) when condemning a smorgasbord assortment of "enemies" or "rivals", and even firing against more widely placed enemies.

The obvious contradiction in their reasoning arises when they fire missiles at Riyadh, citing the defence of Palestinian interests as their justification, but in reality they (a) achieve nothing for the Palestinians whatsoever, and (b) seem quick to forgive the very Americans upon whom their economic pressure at Bab el Mandab could theoretically make some conceivable difference to those Palestinians.

And then we get told that Houthis are warriors for all muslims and are not helping Israel meet their objectives.

To be clear, I'm not implying a deliberate alliance with Israel, but through sheer naivety, the Houthis are sinking deeper into the trap that has been laid for them.

They're currently working with Al-Qaeda in Marib and the south. Giant brigades has Al-Qaeda elements within them.

Saudi military must not to be blamed here and they can't . Any army good enough to do the job, will also be good enough to regime change Saudis as well. So... Saudi deliberately under trained its rank and file so not to threaten their rule. Except for few excellent Saudi brigades to protect Saudi Royal rule:.

 

[shapurzolaktaf]

This is still actual, from Turkish media:

Saudi support for Al-Qaeda terrorists to fight AnsarAllah:

Saudi military must not to be blamed here and they can't . Any army good enough to do the job, will also be good enough to regime change Saudis as well. So... heres a reason why Houthis fighters look competent and capable. Compared to Saudi military.

Everyone has the right to throw in few bongian once in a while... make it the last one for the day.

Arabs don't have an army, even when they do it's for policing its citizens. You’re seeing the results now.

Yet another one ...
Bro , other than air force Saudis haven't used their army yet... you are jumping to the conclusion as if you have seen everything in your crystal ball.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

Let me know when the Houthis are marching on Riyadh.

 

[Hussain]

Still relevant:

kettle calling pot black, how ingenious, although not surprising

It does take effort to be this bad at soldiering when you have such abundance of resources, got to give it to the Saudis Royal insiders they’ve made their military a joke not me .
It's been covered before that a lot of armies have to make a trade off, because an army that is too effective also increases the likelihood of a military coup.
