This round robin of condemnations isn't going to achieve anything. There is leadership problem here that needs to be addressed. Arab world needs democracy to select natural and capable leaders. Trust fund kids don't cut it.

Did see that one but I believe the ones based in Israel and Jordan are remaining there for time being and there is larger capacity there. May be wrong, however.

What prevents you from supporting your al-qaeda head chopping allies in Yemen?

Stop using deception and lies to cover up terrorism of Irani mullahs and their terrorist proxies.

The son of Osama bin Laden lived in Iran for many years under the protection of Iranian mullahs.

Do Saudis really want MBS to be their state leader for rest of their lives ? I'm sure there are many other qualified candidates especially from influential Saudi tribes. I'm not sure what Al-Saud offers to Saudi people besides security (due to US defense agreement ) and subsidies for Saudi citizens.

These Houthi attacks could be blessing in disguise in long term if it leads to Saudis to selecting better leadership. Personally see Saudis with more potential with different leadership but I could be wrong. I know there are historical influential tribes but have no idea how educated they are politically experienced/integrated with the West they are.

In the end it's a decision of Saudi people. Iranians shouldn't involve as their leadership is no better.

Now it looks like Houthi's are pushing on the gas to humiliate MBS. And he is just hiding nowhere to be found. Houthi's have the momentum and US doesn't seem to care for now due to Saudis not signing on Abraham accords + forming Mecca Defense Pact and/or Trump just not seeing anything in it for him at the moment.

No wonder this is coming from you Falcon29.. You guys are eternal gamblers and I mean you and Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iranian revolutionary guards etc etc.. You are off the same feather..

No calculaitons, tactics and absolutely nothing but just launch a rocket and jump up celebrate without any conventional planning, assessing your enemies before actully attacking and most important not knowing ´´Chose your battles at the time you have advantage´´
Sun Tzu said every battle is won before it starts meaning every battle is won in the preparation, technology gathering phase etc etc but not in the actual war itself.

It is just like that phrase every dog has a day except you guys never know when it is your day but you will miscalculate because you are not more then eternal miscalculators/gamblers and you think This other miscalculators came to your aid in Gaza with rocket firings but no they didn´t it is the once you suspect to be your enemy that managed to stop the conflict and try to help you understand but you just don´t see it because these mullahs are deluding you and they are brainless themselves.

No brain cells but eternal miscalculators just look now the houthis could have had a tiny fiefdom in the north but they ruined that for themselves and could lose it all

I have not read any article where KSA asked for batteries to be redeployed from Israel to KSA.

As for "leadership" that is a matter for the people of KSA to decide.

I am not Hamas, Hezbollah or Houthi's. I'm an ordinary Arab American following ME current events since Arab Spring. Democracy is also not really Hamas, Hezbollah or Houthi's thing. I'm in favor of some semblance of democracy in Arab world to give capable people a chance. But this is a whole different discussion so don't want to derail it.

The pool of defense batteries based in the region includes Israel which US could have selected from rather than moving resources out of Europe. Israel seems to have unlimited supply of interceptors compared to other US allies in the region while US allies in region have been on receiving hand of majority of Iranian attacks. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are facing shortages for interceptors and especially Kuwait. I think we can include US forces as well. The resource management by Trump administration seems strange considering how the war has played out.

Again, I am not really concerned about Donald Trump as that would derail this thread and make it about the US and Iran war, there is already a thread for that.

I am not sure where you are getting this source where KSA reached out to reposition batteries from Israel to KSA. This never happened, the batteries currently deployed in Qatar and KSA are part of CENTCOMs existing commitment:



We know that France, Greece the UK and some other nations have already deployed AAD in Saudi Arabia. You keep saying KSA is facing a shortage of interceptors... NO SHIT... KSA is greater in size than all of Western Europe and has multiple vital installations spread over a large area that need to be prioritized and protected.

Ballistic missile defense systems are not like a game of space invaders. I think there is some disingenuousness when it comes to discussing layered air-defense systems, their limitations and the threat of drone swarms and multiple missile systems.

Don't twist my words. I didn't say Saudi Arabia requested anything from Israel. I said that the US government itself refuses to allocate the necessary resources to those on receiving end of attacks for a war that Israel started. There is a disproportionate amount of Patriots/Thaads in Israel and US Navy interceptors which would have been better served intercepting Iranian missiles fired at Arabian Peninsula region were instead wasted on Iranian missiles heading towards Israel despite Israel having it's own Arrow System developed and produced by/with the US.

This is your own post. You stated US "refused" request to move patriot batteries from Israel to KSA.

That is a very keen observation. You can come to my Urs each year and say this till someone replaces you. Also you will be responsible to keep a lamp always illuminated during alternate Thursday nights.

The Egyptians and the Saudis have a common opponent. The Saudis have equipment/logistics/ proximity and the Egyptians have troops. It's a win/ win/win. I’m surprised the Egyptians have not already got involved Red Sea trade effects them more in loss revenue than the rest.

 

[KingQamaR]

It’s that Yemeni moon landscape terrain simply favours Houthis like Afghanistan for conventional armies impossible to take and secure ground. I would think Saudis to continuously send Jets& drones to monitor and harass Houthris 24/7. Helping Yemeni troops on the ground. To push Houthis back.
