Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[RescueRanger]

well regardless of casualties(not belittling the civilians injured or killed not agree with the attack) but it shows you Saudi Arabia has become fairly defenseless against attacks on its territory Americans aren’t rushing to protect them like they did with Israel but I honestly keep repeating this but what does 70 billion dollars buy nowadays

Saudi is massive country, lets be realistic providing a 100% cover to all their vital infrastruce with interceptors ain't gonna happen. Besides this airport is designated as a civilian airport and operating at peak Umrah season, there is ZERO military objective for targeting it.

The only reason the Saudis miscalculated that the Houthis would target it, is that they forget they are dealing with a militia and not a national entity that has to follow some rules of engagement.

It's not about belittling the deceased or the injured, the fact is regardless which side your bread is buttered human empathy is important, failure to articulate basic human empathy for such atrocious acts will only lead to hardening opinions.

Frankly this entire thing is a total mess and one I do not see any extraction from anytime soon. Anyone who thinks there is a simple "reset" button to this is being deluded.

Oh bhai, I don't know how to tell you this, but Iran has long won this.

Iran running da show, big time no?

What do we do now?

oh bhai, calm down, and wait.
WAR isn't over yet, so we can't really say who won and lost
It is currently a STALEMATE.

Be patient for now, youre a little too quick to give out winners announcements

I’m not rooting for one side or the other I’d rather this go back to a month ago I’d rather all of these guys get it in their head that there is one true enemy and this country and their leader is laughing his ass of to be fair I do think MBS is slime my opinion of him went downhill after the whole journalist being killed in turkey(how he isn’t sanctioned for that crime is why the western world feeds on hypocrisy)

If you look at history, you'll notice that Muslims are their own worst enemies. To this day I can't get my head around as to why we love killing each other?!?! Middle East has never truly experienced long term peace - deep down we all know why but most are probably too afraid to say it out loud.

Oh absolutely brother, we all know about western double standards. Pakistan has had its fair share of this, one day we are the HQ of terrorism and the next day we are the bastion of Anti-Terrorism. Its the same old churan (digestive remedy) we have been sold time and time again. I empathies 100% with you on this.

People are talking about Yemen but what about Sudan and who are main players there off topic but shows you Muslims(or those who pretend to be Muslims at least) our own worst enemies

Oh paee, what on earth can trump ka ulla do to undo this massive Irani victory now?

Send Munira Whiskey to da rescue? or that do rupay ka turdogan?

Aik haftay da putt-role nahi hae ga jangain larrnay waastay?

Are you kidding?

1 Pakistani fatality and 6 other Pakistanis injured in today's attack on Riyadh airport, total 11 civilians injured.

What are the spoils of war then

You don't got one week wortha fuel to wage war no?

What spoils?

Do you not understand how vulnerable we are? and how carefully we have to navigate this minefield?

Likely a dual national. Its Umrah season a lot of people visiting for Umrah, whilst airports near the holy cities are not targeted what most people don't understand is that Riyadh is a transit hub for people who visit KSA for Umrah as you can see in these CCTV grabs:
