Rag tag houthis have never learned how to wipe their ***, firing missile is a long shot.
Actually houthis are being used as cannon fodder by the axis of evil.

Since the past 23 years, only 22 people have been executed in India and quite lot of plea applications are pending with the president, some of the from early 90's.

66 is quite high and I'm sure other South Asians are also in similar numbers rotting in Saudi Jails

Why are we not handing out capital punishments.
