The sun fried their brains. Good read . always learn something. You should think about running for public office. The country needs folks like you now.

Probably because Saudi Arabia is very sparsely populated and a number of actual Saudis have zero interest in participating in military adventurism against an enemy they spent a decade (with American support) trying to control with zero success.

maybe Saudis only know how to fly planes into buildings

Because native Saudis are pampered little idiots who let their monarch pay for everything and they have no nuts. Next question.

Thanks good read! @markhertling.bsky.social Is this potentially the third 2020s battlefield, where a much smaller, less equipped army is able to fend of a financial super power? Russia- Ukraine US - Iran Saudi Arabia - Huthis ??? Maybe there is a lesson for China - Taiwan ?

Because gulf Arabs don’t fight their own battles, they hire the US military while they VaCay in the Riviera… Kuwaiti rules.

Because Washington keeps underwriting everyones war except the one where the enemy actually reaches NATO soil. Riyadh gets a blank check for its backyard; Kyiv gets drip-fed and lectured about gratitude. Priorities, as ever, are a mess.

How is that working out for the sand dictators? The article is literally about how Trump didn’t help Saud when they asked. The bribes mean dick all.

Fuck bonesaw! Let them get what they have coming!

That asshole has guards and bone saws. Let him take care of himself!

@markhertling.bsky.social Col. Norville de Atkine wrote this decades ago: "why Arabs lose wars." Which makes the case ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/olj/meria/me... The new Syrians and the Houthis show that they can. Faith in ones ability perhaps is the most important ingredient.

Want ...

Because Trump is money hungry and can be bought! He will sell our service personnel to the Saudis while their citizens sleep on their silk sheets!

Because they saw how we ended up with a sucker play fighting Israel's fight
