Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

Support as in how?

- material support?
- boots on the ground?

The Saudis are well equipped and have been well trained not just by the US but by PAF as well. They are more than capable IMO in dealing with the Houthis.

Ya no. Their air pilots are decent, airforce not too bad.

Army is trash, and thats by design. It's purposely kept incoherent, disjointed at a systemic and architectural level so they remain less cohesive and not pose any real threat to the ruling family. Not to mention nepotism within the higher ranks.

There also seemed to be a serious lack of motivation and will to fight for the average groud soldier previously. They're a paper tiger, everyone knows it. They can't do much, can't even train and advice their allies in Yemen properly, that requires actual experience, merit in your craft, intelligence and competence.

To remind people of how poorly Saudi has done to manage the fighting capability of it's own forces, they put MBS at the head of the Ministry of Defense, who has very large latitude in all security matters and developments, as at the age of 28, when he had zero military experience or training or background. That's the level of incompetence we are looking at here. Unfortunate. Trillions wasted on toys they barely know how to effectively use and make the most of. They should've been a mini-superpower by now with all they spent and purchased over the decades.

It seems Houthi terrorists are now taking orders from Israel as well as Iran:

16/09/2016: US officials met Iran-backed Houthis in Oman over the weekend, sources say: Reuters

Disgusting.

That is an absurd claim. They attacked isreal for the sake of Palestine while gulf governments slept. Now they claim this. What Ansarullah can do now is telling openly the areas they wont ever attack in Arabia like near our Holy Sites to block further manipulation. They are only targeting positions that are directly connected to Saudi war effort. Waiting doesnt work when enemy takes action as nothing would happen from outside magically. Taking action and logic works.

It's like Jamal Khashoggi assassination. They claimed it wasn't them then later CCTV cameras and turkish government exposed them.

A sustained bombing run on Houthi hideouts should soften them up. Like all resistance forces, the Houthis have shown very little administration prowess and can be overwhelmed with sustained pressure.

You’re arguing in bad faith I feel like.

Never in history has air power won wars or soften targets. We saw this during WW2, Vietnam War, Iraq 2, Serbia, Iran, and in Yemen.

Only exception was 1990/1991 Iraq war where the Iraqi forces literally sat in open deserts allowing consistent bombings of their positions which didn’t dent their combat power.

Yemen received massive bombings from 2014 to today, and they are still there. Bombing a mountainous country isn’t going to degrade anything. You need combat troops on the ground willing to fight and die.

The Saudis and UAE also tried that and failed. Their forces kept suffering defeats hence why Houthis are waging a conventional warfare on multiple fronts.

Either you’re a silly and R3tarded troll, or you really don’t have a fkn clue and just a mouth breath sucking up the white man’s air.

any barbarism is condemnable
IR or saudi

but, here on PDF, events like these dont even exist in memories of the vast majority of the muslim members(which to me, has now started to look like a place for propagation of hate and sectarianism)

PDF, as far as, discussion of geo-politics go, is a place where one cannot make a choice to wear another lense!


its like vision too sanitized to see the reality of the perpetrator before it commits the crime, like a child who was fooled by a wolf n Red Riding Hood story!

Yep, makes perfect sense, and perfectly in line with Iran's regimes real focus and effort in the region and all they have done so far. All the PR about Israel was BS, it was just that, PR to fool the masses.

They are here to conquer and subjugate everyone in the region under their own terrorist version of Shia Islamist ideology with violence and brute oppression, no matter how much people in the region oppose it. That is their imperialist goal, and it will never stop. No one will be spared from their exported terrorist activities. Not even Pakistan.

Usa and israel dumping their puppets like a used condom

Israelis, Saudis, Emiratis and America have been working together in Yemen for a long time.

Israel shares Houthi intelligence with Saudi Arabia: Report

Israel has reportedly begun supplying Saudi Arabia with intelligence on Yemen's Houthis through U.S. intermediaries, signaling rare indirect security...

Guess what , he is coming to Egypt tomorrow : )))
he just wishes we could send some soldiers to Yemen but nah , he can send his own troops.

There is an article in the international press about it too. Al Sisi sure has leverage to extract some goodies from the Saudis as for the moment they are dependent on the Suez for exports.

Boots on ground and material support. Houthi thugs are a cancer. All Muslim states need to work together to get rid of them.
