The inept Saudis have made a spectacle of themselves. Attacking the poorest Arab country, trying to starve them out with land and sea blockades, with the help of the west and Israel…and still they can’t beat them. The Yemeni have had some very effective attacks on KSA proper… killing Israeli and western ‘advisers’, along with the head of the Saudi AF, at an attack near the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The US seal team didn’t fare too well in the ‘recon’ mission, either. The Saudis should quit while they’re losing.
i love it such a good way of putting it
