Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[LarsFrost]

This offensive seems a little too good to be true. It appears that the Saudi proxy forces were told to stand down. It has all the hallmarks of a standdown offensive. The same as the original isis offensive in Iraq in 2014 vs the Iraqi army and the fall of Damascus.

The Houthis get full credit for being ready and willing to take advantage. But maybe the CIA is trying to punish or overthrow MBS by putting him in this bind. Maybe they are trying to put pressure on the Mecca alliance to show that US forces are still needed in the region.

This is eerily similar to fall of saigon/kabul after the withdraw of american troops, these mercenary puppets dont even last 24 hours when the real battle starts.

All of this over a stupid bombing of an airfield in an attempt to bully Yemen and Iran

I cannot believe the stupidity of Saudi Arabia especially after they signed the Mecca Agreement

This is next level incompetence and stupidity

Imo there is probably more to this. Saudi never controlled the proxy forces in Yemen. The US did. Saudi probably doesn't even control their own airforce. The US does. MBS was not the guy that the CIA wanted for the job.

The CIA strongly preferred Prince Mohammed bin Nayef (MBN) MBN was widely considered the CIA’s closest and most trusted ally in the Middle East.

Not big on this Arab on Arab fighting but damnnnnn Houthis put a beating down on everyone UAE Saudis and Yemen opposition ran tail where’s members with their 10 page posts saying why this is Saudi Arabia real master plan to have the Houthis in one spot I’m not tagging the members who usually do that just saying we alllll know who he is

It’s all about troops who are driven by ideology and willing to die for a cause fighting troops who are paid and not willing to die… we’ve seen it before, will always wins.

Yes this is a possibility. Now Saudis can run into the arms of Israel for protection as some their devoted supporters have already claimed and conveniently blame those bad Eye-raneens and Hoothees for it. Rest of the GCC can join and Abraham Accords will become Abrahams Shield, as planned many years ago.

If the Houthis start selling this gun on Amazon , American gun-nuts will go crazy for it.

Yeah houthis make a lot of their own weapons from bits and pieces of other weapons like Frankenstein. Now that they kicked Yemen military asses they got their hands on some decent stuff.

To be fair they have a lot of up to date weaponry and like everything it’s if you have to will use it and how you use it otherwise it’s like putting a rifle in my hands it will be useless
