Operation 'Decisive Storm' | Saudi lead coalition operations in Yemen - Updates & Discussions.

O.k we are poor but not that much poor that we become loyal servents. We have our own interest and we will look after it. Secondly, the issue of Yemen is geopolitical not sunni vs. Shia as many members of PDF are portraying.

Last but not least, very interesting comment by you and to some extent true also. I personally don't think that Saudis would pull this through. This will be long and arduous war.

That is what I have been saying. This is a war initiated by a new king and his young son (as defense minister) in order to silence the discontent and protest within Saudi Arabia against the rule of royal family. They were afraid of a coup by loyalists of old king, the American trained military and the Saudi public. It is not about Yemen, Iran or protection of holy places in Saudi Arabia. It is about consolidating power by corrupt Sudairi Seven family.

SISI is busy with Yemen. Meanwhile:

Militants kill 15 SISI-soldiers (potential anti-houthis) in attack on Egyptian army checkpoint
Islamist fighters injured a further 19 people and seized two armoured cars in northern Sinai, while three civilians were killed in four other attacks

Where did you get these information they did not size anything they failed 15 of them were killed while they are trying to escape and sky news reported that the apche killed 40 more.

BBC Report On Houthis (Note that BBC is not a friend of Houthis and British government is actually supporting Saudi Arabia against them):

Do you Saudis automatically term anyone who doesn't agree with Saudi Arabian war-mongering as a Shi'ite? Lol, I am a Sunni.

Besides, is that your answer? So basically, when you don't have an answer; you just call the other side 'Shi'ite' ?

My ball$ack you're a Sunni, i can smell your kind from miles away, same tactics same arguments same everything, give it a rest.

And now it's The Fall of the Houthis.

 

[MoshteAhani]

And now it's the fall of Huthies.

Fall ? They are still there.. today even run over Presidential palace

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

Fall ? They are still there.. today even run over Presidential palace

So, they're winning the war?

 

[Daneshmand]

And now it's The Fall of the Houthis.

See the BBC Video report I put up there. They are very much there and getting strengthened every passing day, and taking territory after territory. They say, they will come to conquer Jordan after they are done with Saudi Arabia.

So, they're winning the war?

Oh, yes.

In war, winning or victory means taking territory and holding it. They are doing exactly that.

My bad, then let me run and find a cave to hide.

It better be a Houthi-proof cave. Since the Houthis are themselves very proficient around caves. They are mountain people.

 

[MoshteAhani]

Winning means you capture a place and hold it... that is what the shia fighters are doing

we Arabs despise Iran, hate it, loath it.

Like we give a shit about it. Go blow yourself up you worthless arab dog.

Saudis have committed around 100 aircraft to Operation Decisive Storm – but the really decisive variable will be the extent of actual military support from other states right across the region.

Oman, which borders Yemen, has not made any commitment, but most other Middle Eastern states have. The United Arab Emirates has deployed 30 aircraft and Kuwait has sent 15 F/A-18 Hornets. Bahrain has sent at least eight F-16s, Qatar has contributed ten of its French Mirage 2000s and even Jordan, embroiled in the air war over Syria and Iraq, has contributed six F-16s. Egypt is heavily involved too, though mainly with naval forces.There are some real surprises, though. One is Morocco, from well outside the region, which has sent F-16s; another is Pakistan, which is apparently weighing how involved it wants to be. And Sudan, meanwhile, is sending three ageing Soviet-era Sukhoi Su-24 fencers.

From the Saudi perspective, taking Aden requires significantly less combat power than a full ground incursion across the border, pushing south toward Sanaa. Given the natural bottleneck of the Aden Peninsula, a minimal force of only several battalions or a brigade (approximately 1,000 to 3,000 soldiers) supported by coalition close-air support and naval gunfire could defend the city.

Enough said.

I dare Saudis to go in.
