[Asfandyar Bhittani]

Imagine tearing down the Yemeni flag in Yemeni capital while pretending to be the Yemeni govt and Yemeni army.

Interestingly enough, many would argue that all parties employ means that are morally questionable.

I know, I know...Houthis help Palestinians. But this "help" produced no benefit whatsoever for the intended recipients. And now, if we are to believe prevailing reports, USA has a non-aggression pact with Houthis.

It is high time that ALL of us who are concerned for the welfare of civilised and functional nation states in the region start realising there is no quick fix to the region's ills.

My friend, civilians of KSA are our redline. They won't be targeted in any case.
Secondly, attack on KSA is a reaction not an aggression against the kingdom. A consequence of imposing famine and blockade on a whole nation.

Moreover Palestine is an issue of humanity not only Muslims.

P.S. there is no non-aggression pact/agreement between Yemen and USA. Ansarullah has warned USA, if Americans take part in massacring of Yemenis, Ansarullah will close the strait.

These are the two main bases Saudi has been using to bomb Yemen.

Houthis and Iraqi PMF both have capabilities to keep shutting down oil pipelines and pumping stations. If war persists they can cut Saudi money tremendously as Saudi is completely reliant on oil/gas/tourism.

Houthis now even attacking Yanbu which is where the east west pipeline ends. Even though china has a lot of investments in yanbu, i say fk it some things are worth more than money.

Chinese investment in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, centers heavily on energy and industrial partnerships, anchored by the multi-billion-dollar Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company (YASREF) joint venture. [1, 2]

Major Chinese Investments in Yanbu

• • YASREF Refinery: A massive full-conversion refining joint venture between Saudi Aramco and China's Sinopec, covering 5.2 million square meters with investments upwards of $8 billion. It processes Arab heavy crude and has ongoing capacity expansions. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Capchem Lithium-Ion Facility: Middle East Capchem announced a $260 million investment to build a large-scale plant in the Yanbu Heavy Industrial Park for carbonate solvents and ethylene glycol production. [1]
  • Petrochemical and Industrial Agreements: The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) continues to secure broader agreements with Chinese firms—such as PAN-ASIA—for specialized chemical and manufacturing projects, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030 and China's Belt and Road Initiative. [1, 2]
