File under: Houthis

#1 The Saudis have more sense than to waste time watching the UN dither over Yemen, after all the UN watched this happen without as much as a catered luncheon to discuss it.

Methinks the current King in KSA has a pretty good grip on what needs to be done...even if it means an "understanding" with Israel.

Come to think of it, when was the last time anyone in authority in KSA has said anything about Israel?

#2 Send the forces to fight the shi'ite houthis. Then they will not join IS and fight the princes.

#3 I've looked on YouTube for "Putin dismayed", haven't found any. However, plenty of "Putin laughs".

#4 I've seen reports that the Saudi army has been killing civilians instead of Houthi fighters.

#5 It's all going to hinge on the Egyptian army's arrival or non-arrival. No Egyptians = no gwine win.

#6 Russia just wanted to horse-trade support in the UN. Saudi supports Russia in Ukraine and Russia supports Saudis in Yemen.

#7 Bad, those reports are probably Saudi National Guardsmen - true Bedouin, to whom this shit is tribal medieval blood feud. The intent to literally decimate their enemy - including the all elements of the tribe if necessary (and they see it as a necessary thing)
