Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[Falcon29]

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.

I know that. This isn't an existential threat to Saudi Arabia. My initial post was regarding a long term take on Saudi leadership.

But even management of this current flare up is strange. Why aren't safety mechanisms in place, if a drone or missile is fired at Riyadh, I would hope there are immediately safety protocols taken to move people to shelter or undergo safety protocols instead operate as usual. That casualty count from the airport tragedy is very high and would be lower if safety mechanisms were put into place.

In any case my condolences to those innocent people that lost their lives.

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

Should have worded it differently that's my mistake. It's more observation on resource management of US defense systems/military assets deployed in region since beginning of Gaza war in 2023. It's disproportionately in favor of Israel. The US did not prepare it's Gulf allies well for this war but it did prepare Israel. Note that I don't believe Iran is winning anything and that damage/casualties are part of war.

Where is Trump ? He started war that was largely coordinated with Israel and left US allies exposed. Iran is attacking oil tankers every day now in SOH and Houthi's are on an airport targeting Blitz in Saudi Arabia.

They've just targeted Damamm airport again. Trump is making midterms excuses as if Republicans have a chance. It is no more than an excuse.

Trump has put US Arab allies in a worse position than before the war because he refuses to escalate and win the war or refuses to come to an settlement of any kind for now.

I am not excusing Houthi's or Iran btw. In Iran threads I get attacked by Iranians as well and here I got attacked for saying things people don't wanna hear. People need to understand saying something you may not agree with does not make someone part of any camp or suggest they have a dog in the fight.

Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation:

An attack targeting King Fahd Airport in Dammam, and work is underway to assess the damages.

According to an official statement

 

[battalion25]

The Yemeni Armed Forces, affiliated with the Third Military Region, announced the destruction of vehicles belonging to Houthi militias and the targeting of their barracks south of Marib, as part of "Yemen Dawn" operations.

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

We support our Saudi alllies, supporting head choppers are you area expertise.

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.

It is rather difficult to find reliable reporting on X for this conflict as discussion around it is mostly bot driven. Trying to find some reliable sources to get a better picture.

He didn't consult them but managed to successfully transfer it to the region... Duke it out... there isn't much he can do except keeping the thumb on the scale.

Americans will only blame him and put ones responsible for this on trial if it all comes crashing down at home... and home alone!

US is not party to any ICJ or international enforcement mechanism or treatise... in fact, they're sanctioned in the US.

He and Israel are terrible actors. My question to Iranian axis why target Saudi Arabia or make Saudi Arabia the main target of retailation instead of Israel or the US Navy? I'd like an honest answer for once.

Is it because simply lacking the ability to hurt Israel in this fashion? Or is there some religious messaniac - like motivation at play?

He is a turk, his country has never engaged in a war against the jews yet they call themselves the enemies of israel and protectors of muslims ROFL

1-) Because we are not stupid like you, to wage war and get our asses kicked.
2-) Iran would surely back-stab when we wage war against Israel.

In August 2011, al-Sharaa was tasked by al-Qaeda emir Ayman al-Zawahiri to establish al-Qaeda's mission in Syria. Alongside senior al-Qaeda operatives, he formed Jabhat an-Nuṣrah li-Ahl ash-Shām (lit. 'Front of the Supporters of the People of the Levant') which was envisioned as a broad coalition of Islamist militant groups in Syria, led by al-Sharaa with direct allegiance to al-Qaeda's central command.

A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. Lets see where that gets us very soon.

I agree doesn’t mean it’s right would have lived the rewind a month ago but no one is willing to step back I said this before and I will say it again Arabs and Muslims in general are really good at killing each other
