    KSA is a F’d up country that hates all of its neighbours. Similar dysfunction applies to its GCC allies. Article mentioned issues with its military, but it also has many “no show payroll soliders”.

    KSA was key outsourcing part of US led plot of 9/11. US reliance is part of its DNA. Because the US has so many air/missile strike capability in the region, then only rationale for not helping KSA, is impotence. Severe munition depletion levels, and destroyed capability. Supposedly US made deal with Ansar Allah for them to not attack US bases/ships. Making the nazi empire a joke of nazi weakness.
