Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[El Sidd]

They should carpet bomb the territories held by the Houthis

 

[pashtunkoum]

A typical Afghan way of thinking, claiming that Afghanistan is the “graveyard of superpowers,” while ignoring the huge human and material costs of decades of conflict. Now, these few thousand Houthis are reportedly facing repeated attacks, yet you interpret that their any projectile reaches its target as a sign of victory. By that logic, it would be like Zelensky claiming that Ukraine has defeated Superpower Russia simply because its forces have managed to strike few targets in Russia, Iran fight USA in a more comendable effort, but it doesn't mean that Iran win and USA lost. Military success should be judged by the overall strategic outcome, not by such few incidents.

That’s not how military success is judged and seems you don’t even understand the basics of asymmetric warfare.

Each and every airport that hosts Saudi and western fighter jets and military forces is a legitimate target for Ansrallah.

By your logic USA lost in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran (despite killing thousands masses, destroying all infrastructure and plundering resources), and Israel in Palestine. (If you fight with a small kid and made him 100 slaps, he could also make punch 1 or 2, then it means he win) What is your definition for win or loss

 

[Master Chief]

If Pakistan launches an act of aggression against Yemen 2000-3000km away, that is not an act of aggression, but if Yemen responds, that is a regional war? Interesting logic.

Ansarallah already has these missiles with >2000km range which they used to strike Israel with several times. Perhaps others should learn from them rather than fantasising about attacking other Muslim countries.

Ansarallah are out of control (best case scenario).

I am assuming IRGC handlers are not "advising" them to deliberately target Arab civilians.

They need to be put out of their misery urgently. I'm shocked at the path they have chosen, then again, khat may explain a lot. This propaganda that they are "helping Palestinians" is a baseless extrapolation of mythology. Firing 10, even 100, missiles at Tel Aviv doesn't help the Palestinians. It quickens their annihilation. Hamas have tried this failed strategy. Hezbollah have tried this failed strategy. You don't stop Israel in this way. You stop them by building several powerful nations from the ground up and thwarting them on every front (military, economic, political, social).

I know. It's boring as fk and takes GENERATIONS to achieve, rather than this bollywood light show that some people want.

This is why Israel is stronger than Ansarallah and Iran and Hamas and Hezb. They do boring stuff exceptionally well and very very quietly.

Reminder of Al Saud regime crimes in Yemen:





Now there are consequences to Saudi crimes in Yemen:

 

[Persian Gulf]

Saudi state media invites Israeli journalist

 

[Persian Gulf]

Riyadh airport remains closed

It will remain dangerous while Saudi Arabia continues to commit crimes in Yemen

 

[muhammed45]

Pakistani forces shouldn't stand side by side of Somalian pirates and mercenaries.

Come back to your sense brothers. Sauds are protector of western and Zionist interests in Islamic world.

Turks don't send their soldiers to avoid humiliation, at least learn from Turkish snakes.

Pakistan is known by Kashmir not by being mercenary of a single feudal family in Arabian peninsula.

Very balanced assessment. The strategy of missile lobbing has failed repeatedly in multiple theatres. And I agree that Iran fared far better than any other nation in relying on this strategy, but still cannot claim anything close to a "victory" - Iran is now under a perma-siege.

Ansarallah need to be crushed as soon as possible. Their supply of missiles will be finite. They won't have massive underground cities and they won't be able to replenish stocks from across the Gulf.

Reminder of Al Saud regime crimes in Yemen

Iran and Saudi are fighting since decades and playing proxy wars. Its your matter of concern not ours. Saudi is our Natural Strategic Partner and Iran too, we will see our National Interest first. While Houthies are like Afghanis as Proxies rats "neither in three nor in thirteen"

Sadly, there is little alternative now. Ansarallah could have kept its business internal to Yemen but some within their organisation just made rather suicidal decisions.

Its a Zionist plan to control natural resources of Yemen. We know very well that this war doesn't benefit people of Arabian peninsula.

West knows that if Sauds put their hands on Yemeni oil fields, it will come under their own control.

Yemen was starving to death. You can't blame them for retaliation.

Now, as you mentioned, its gotten out of control. West won't let Saud family go, they are under pressure to fight in Yemen.

Their financial and military resources are serving western interests.

I have to say, I agree with all of that. It is all very disappointing. The entire region has been deceived. We are a long way now from redemption. Whatever lessons you or I learn today will probably again be unlearned by the time our grandchildren are having a similar conversation.

Saudi Arabia was sitting very pretty & would have gained a lot more in the near future, yet MBS decided to be an adventurous prick & put everything in jeopardy by bombing Sana’a airport. There was absolutely no need for it. The Americans were significantly weakened & he had the Mecca Alliance secured. There is no victory against piss poor people who have nothing to lose.

That's a partial view of the whole situation. Why Saudi bombed airport? Let's expand on that first. Iranians were threatening to block Bab AL Mandab through Houthis. An Iranian military plane with military advisors on it were trying to land on that airport despite Saudi repeated warnings that no Iranian planes were to land in yemen. All the lectures are only reserved for Saudis?
