Riyadh so far unable to remove Huthis
My comments : On Saturday there was a Houthi ballistic missile attack on Riyadh the Saudi capital. The missile was destroyed but its debris still fell over the King Khaled Intnl Airport, the intended target. It was a fantastic achievement by the Houthis to have fired a ballistic missile over 1200 km.
Then yesterday Sunday a Saudi chopper went down along the Yemeni border region killing the Saudi deputy governor, a Prince plus seven other high ranking Saudis. They are not saying but it is possibly due to hostile fire by the Houthis.
The war in Yemen is going terribly wrong for the Saudis.
Here is what the Saudis should do.
First immediately stop bombing Yemen.
Then they should offer war reparations payments of US$1 million to each and every Yemeni man, woman and child for all the damage they have caused in Yemen.
This will be ultimately a lot less cheaper than the Saudis paying the Israelis say US$100 BILLION to launch a war against Hezbollah (and also against Hamas in Gaza again.)
Yes folks, the Saudis are trying every means to get Israel to start a war with Shia Hezbollah and even against Hamas in Gaza. This will divert attention away from their fiasco in Yemen.
It will also destroy Shia power in Lebanon and weaken Shias in Syria. Ultimately Iran will also be impacted. Who knows if they are lucky the US will be drawn into the war and bomb Iran. World War Two And A Half.
Being infinitely cleverer than the Saudis I believe the Israelis will get the Saudis to pay for any war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel will become Saudi Arabia's highly paid bodyguard.
The Saudis can easily raise US$100 Billion just from selling Prince Waleed bin Talal's 24 Karat gold Rolls Royces and Ferraris.
As the stomach churns.
Here is something extra folks. Malaysia still has a contingent of troops on the ground in Saudi Arabia. Some of our C130 Hercules are flying around Saudi Arabia.
Do you know why? Our guys are hoping that the Saudis will "repay" our kindness by handing over some old American made fighter jets to us for free. Second hand fighter jets.
This is what I heard. This is not a good idea. It will cost us a lot of money to repair and refurbish their old jets to bring them up to combat conditions.
It looks like ada udang di sebalik batu.
Let me warn you : the Pak Unta are much better at liwatting than you guys ok. Ouch!!
