That's fine, I'm all for ending proxy forces and integrating them into state government and army. But keep in mind in case of Palestine Hamas is our elected government and national military. It's not a proxy force for Iran or non-state actor. And keep in mind before calling us proxy of Iran that we are the most Sunni city of the world. Gaza Strip is literally 99% Sunni there is no place more Sunni than Gaza.

Ansarallah are far more capable than people give them credit for. Ultimately, the control lines look a lot like the pre 1990 borders. That’s not a coincidence.

Saudi Arabia is not Israel. Pakistan and Turkey will send troops to held defend KSA but probably not to invade Yemen.

I don't think so. People are aware of Ansarallah's realistic capabilities. Saudi Arabia isn't Israel but it cannot be overcome by Ansarallah. That doesn't mean it can enforce a status quo in Yemen. That's a difficult standard to achieve.

This is an incomplete statement. The Houthis are not a primitive militia. They are a Zaydi-led insurgency that has seized control of all key state institutions, including the Ministries of Interior and Defense, and the Republican Guard. The Ministry of Defense alone has 400,000 personnel across 52 brigades, not to mention the Republican Guard, which numbers over 100,000, most of whom are American-trained and possess a modern arsenal of ballistic missiles and armored vehicles, including the T-80, in addition to ballistic missiles smuggled from Iran.

Therefore, downplaying the Houthis simply to diminish the effectiveness of the weapons used against their attacks is unprofessional and demonstrates a weak argument.

Patriot in the hands of Saudi air defense is an impregnable dam and combat-proven is unparalleled in history..

Ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles intercepted in every terrorist attack by Houthi militias

So your saying Saudis are more capable than Americans and Israel are in comparison with the rate of interceptions massive amount of American bases were laid to waste a lot of material damage, israel and Arab states as well we can’t pretend it’s sustainable expending hundred or even 50 interceptors on daily or even weekly basis is actually sustainable I think we all stopped believing for the most part the whole 99 percent interception rate the Israelis kept repeating.

Didn’t we see quite a few Saudi military hangers destroyed with pinpoint accuracy I saw a missile strike on a group of vehicles dead on I said cheaper than an interceptor not that they weren’t effective against targets that they hit we have to assume if they are firing off dozens of interceptors against several or even a dozen like they did in Jordan and Israel they are doing the same in Saudi Arabia if not more because if these missiles are heading to vital oil areas they would be more than likely to try to stop direct hits at all costs

Obviously not missiles that hit..rather drones..small drones at that

I was talking before the US-Iran war..
But that does not take anything from the Saudi Air defense forces..they have proved it again during this war..there was some depletion throughout the region..but Saudi Arabia Have big reserves of the Patriot missiles and the License to manufacture it locally..

Agreed, hamas is not a proxy force.... accepting your claim it's elected government and national army makes it incumbent on you to accept the fact that it started the war and lost... you have no right to complain....victor writes the history.

You wanted to see America crushing Iran without incurring any losses to herself ? Why do you think hitting American bases is such a big deal ?

I didn’t think what you said was true so I looked it up just to be on the safe side
No, Saudi Arabia does not locally manufacture Patriot interceptor missiles; instead, the kingdom imports them from the United States and has localized only system maintenance and select subcomponents.

Localization Status

• • Maintenance & Repair: Raytheon Saudi Arabia handles local servicing and upkeep.
  • Subcontracts: Some non-missile components (like canister parts) are built locally via Lockheed Martinpartnerships.
  • Missile Production: Complete Patriot interceptors are entirely imported from U.S. manufacturing lines.
  • Stockpile Reliance: Riyadh continues to rely on foreign military sales for replenishment.

    Aside from the United States, Japan and Germany are the only other countries licensed to produce Patriotinterceptor missiles.

Kind of is a big deal can you remember any country in recent times that could do that to America I mean their own top commander said fudged up the the Bahrain base royally many aircraft were destroyed on the ground and etc etc than on to Arab states damages and than Israel and etc etc I mean come on they have been putting up a hell of a fight and yes you are right Iran has suffered a lot more damage but after all that no white flag waving from Iran more of a middle finger to everyone
