One week ago when news hit that Houthi rebels had launched a rocket attack on a Saudi border town in what may be described as an act of sheer irrationality and one which like Assad’s “chemical attack” of 2013 was almost certainly staged not so much by the Yemen rebels to provoke just the desired media response, we said that “a Saudi response now appears just a matter of time, and one which the oil-trading algos are eagerly expecting, pushing Brent to within two dollars of $68.” By response, we of course meant a land invasion since Saudi Arabia has already been bombing Yemen for nearly a month (a campaign focused on the Yemen rebels which mysteriously destroyed the residence of Yemen’s former anti-Saudi president Saleh).
That “time” may have arrived, because as Al Arabiya reports, Saudi Arabia has announced that a “strike force has arrived on the border with Yemen, as the operation to quell Houthi militias in the country continues.” Which is ironic considering it was just a few days ago that Saudi Arabia declared a 5 day ceasefire, one which was promptly accepted by Houthis, and one which appears to have been taken straight from the Ukraine civil war “ceasefire” playbook.
let them fight there own wars and we need to pull out all of our troops now and bring them all home along with every piece of equipment we have over there, nothing gets left behind like monkey man obongo did for the ISIS terrorist in Iraq and Syria.
Love it, rag heads fighting one another
