"The attacks come as fighting intensified in Yemen, with forces loyal to the country's internationally recognised government fighting the Iran-backed Houthis for control of the country.

Saudi Arabia has waged an air campaign in support of the Yemeni government's ground war and claimed hundreds of strikes on Houthi-held territory, including the Yemeni capital, Sanaa."

Didn't the Saudis buy billions in American armaments?

Why aren't they using them?

How can this be, when Sitzkreig hath decreed the Houthis are merely a mob of khat-chewing teenagers?

80% khat chewing teenagers. The median age of the entire country is 18, and they field 13 year old child soldiers.

Child soldiers can press buttons, mrbm's aren't designed to be hard to use.

The front the Houthi are making progress on is Taizz. Slowly grinding forward in the face of massive airstrikes and drone attacks. If the Saudi-Syrian-Egyptians don't commit to a ground offensive they actively choose to lose.

It's always been open season. It's just that you have fooled liberals into thinking that if you let muslims fuck your daughters, they wouldnt target you.

You mean like how the world has tried to give the Palestinians the West Bank, but the West Bank isnt what the Muslims wanted? They just wanted to exterminate the Jews..

You mean like that?
