Feel sorry for Saudi, they are feeling helpless.
USA and other partners - only statement level support, they are getting.

Now - looking all around to get the support including from Israel

Telling lack of available forces as Riyadh consults on political appetite for military backing

Is Saudi Arabia turning to Israel for help against Houthi attacks despite its new defence pact?

Recent reporting says yes — at least on the intelligence front. Diplomatic sources cited separately by Israel Hayom, Walla, and The Jerusalem Post say Riyadh has sought intelligence assistance from…

I know what you indians are doing.

you are wishing that Turkey and Pakistan join the Saudis campain on Yemen.

your trolling is not so subtle on social media platforms, acting as Pakistanis cursing Iran and offering blood and soul to Saudis .. as well as acting as Saudis cursing and indulting Pakistanis for taking money and not serving.

Saudis have the power to end this conflict with yemen once they stop bombing its cities.
the Yemeni fighters of all clans will stop their retaliation against Saudis as well.

I guess it’s time for me to get perm banned,
The fact you compared Yemenis to Afghans is a wild take. Yemen history goes back to 3k years known history. They aren’t some low iq people like the Afghans are.

Thankless nation? As I recall Yemenis aren’t in the millions in Saudi Arabia earning and using the system and then cursing SA like afghans have done in Pakistan.
Neither have I observed a suicide bomber in SA vs hundreds of afghans have done in Pakistan. You and some other really pushing these narratives due to your own sectarian and political reasons - I could only attribute to these reasons to make sense of what you and others have written about Yemen.

Pakistan hasn’t staved or conducted an air campaign killing 300k-500k Afghans like the Saudis have done in Yemen. Pakistan hasn’t taken over Afghan territory like the Saudis (Qatar and UAE included) stolen strategic islands in Red Sea from Yemen. Pakistan hasn’t brought in Arab and South American mercenaries to wage war in Afghanistan like what the Sauds and UAE have done so in Yemen.

As for a ground war, get ready to lose Pakistan by actively taking a side in this conflict especially when the whole world sees who’s on whose side. The forces will release will end with Pakistan being dismantled - this I can 100% assure you and every other Pro-Saud commenter here

Well, I am not sectarian. I respect both Iran and Saudi Arabia. I don’t consider myself as Sunni or Shia.

There is a difference between Yemenis and Houthis and I have a lot of respect for the people of Yemen, not Houthis

Houthis govern area with 20m people within. Their ranks have swollen from 5000 fighters in early 2000s to over 300k fighters now.

There is not a military solution to this conflict, unless large ground troops of 500k+ are committed with heavy weapons, tanks, choppers etc. In the latter scenario we will see carnage like in Ukraine/Russia.

Both sides need to be pushed to diplomacy killing one another wont end this conflict.

The Saudis (and the Gulf states) are the weakest link here. Besides money, they can offer little else. The Saudis have been fighting the Houthis since 2014. Aside from a ceasefire, they have very little to show for it.

I doubt the Houthis can seriously hurt the Saudis, but they will test them and this new pact. They may not respond today, but what about later?

Exactly. Is there even a single battle hardened Saudi unit that has learned how to beat Houthis in Yemen? Are they capable of passing on knowledge onto Pakistani or Turkish units?

Do Saudis even understand the concept of training and tactics or do they think exercises are for photoshoots only.

I think it's something the army understands well though. That's why they e always resisted requests to go fight in Yemen
