The Mecca Pact’s First Test Has Exposed Its Central Weakness

[Goenitz]

Yeah because we have crazies in our country that will start attacking Pakistani's for Iranians or Houthis who don't give a F about them. But I think people expecting MDA to get into action just within 2 months of signing it is really stupid, shows the low IQ these people have. Like i said these PACT's takes time to develop, and KSA has to officially ask for military help from Pakistan/Turkiye in order for them to send, its not like Pakistan become Maula Jutt and start throwing Gandasay and Axe at Houthis, Pakistan can only provide air cover and do some Air strikes which KSA is very well capable of doing by themselves, they have the air power, bombs and they just have to keep dropping from the same distance, real test of MDA is to bring an end to this escalation via peaceful means.

lols.
If we hire some professionals, then they are expected to do the job right away.
Houthis only have the terrain advantage, which can be mitigated by resources available at SA's disposal.
Also, defence, like health, is a critical issue. One cannot postpone it for better timing. One has to act at that very instant with whatever resources are available.

Saudi Arabia itself is not doing any ground invasion against Yemen. So what can allied nations do?

Saudi Arabia has shown a lot of patience against both Iran and the Houthis. There is a thin line between being patient and coward so I think Saudi Arabia should act now to suppress these Houthi terrorists

when houthis were advancing, we lost time, we should have bombed then..

would have resulted in better negotiating position with 1. KSA 2. Houthis 3. USA

we lost the negotiating advantage and are now left behind to bargain anything!

price will be paid by the general public!

I was thinking it was as designed, as PLC didn't fight at all and gave away critical and better equipment.
The motive I considered was that if this strait gets closed, then the whole world (not SA alone) would act and find a sustainable solution. In doing so, perhaps Hormuz can also be negotiated, as the oil price has crossed the 100 mark.

i dont understand, what you have written here!

but, I will answer, what my POV is:

we are always behind, where (list below)

1. in building petroleum reserves
2. pricing natural gas well enough to recover price
3. allocation/rationing of petrol even in the times like these
4. in finding alternates as against concentration of service providers or sellers
5. in determining, if one routes goes offline, what should we do then?
6. negotiating resources timely


and, if SOH was blocked, what about alternate suppliers, which were used by EU and other countries, there are so many alternate oil providers..atleast 10!


why are we so pathetic, reactive, impulsive and incompetent!
