Officially, Saudi Arabia expressed surprise
and a little caution over Friday’s offer by Yemen’s Houthi movement of a
joint truce. The weekend, however, left little doubt as to the Saudi
answer to this overture.
At least 27 Saudi airstrikes were reported against targets in northern Yemen
in just the last 24 hours. The Houthis described the attacks as a
“dangerous escalation,” and reiterated they’d meant to get everyone
together for a peace process.
Yemeni media reports the airstrikes as chiefly hitting farms, as well as
telecommunications sites in Yemen’s far north, damaging communications
and further crippling the very limited agriculture industry of Yemen, a
nation that imports almost all of its food.
The Houthi offer for a truce puts the Saudis in a difficult position, as
recent Saudi actions are clearly informed by major Houthi drone attacks
on Saudi oil sites, but the Saudis officially are blaming those attacks
on Iran, meaning they’d just as soon not acknowledge that the Houthis,
or the war, are a thing at all while trying to drum up support for moves
against Iran.
the saudis had better start talking peace with the Houthis or they are going to get the sh*t droned out of them
You have to wonder, in this time of universal deceit, what it will eventually take to drive us to war against Iran, and against all reason and common sense. Undoubtedly, not some little pinprick like this drone attack, maybe another “new Pearl Harbor” that would instantly drive the US citizenry over the edge and into the arms of the Zionists who have “big plans” for the USA. It took the horrible events of 9/11 to drive us into the so-called “war on terror” and it will probably take something equally horrible to drive us into this one.
Would they be desperate and delusional enough to do a false flag attack on DC and take themselves out ? (wishful thinking)
The false-flag events of 9/11 included an attack on the Pentagon that took out the office that was investigating the missing $2.3 trillion that Rumsfeld had announced the day before. Anything is possible with these psychopaths.
If they hit the doughnut table they may get Pompeo so perhaps a small silver lining exists ??
“Anything is possible with these psychopaths.”
Precisely.
So this whole post ignores that fact that the Houthis will likely respond to these new Saudi attacks by hitting Saudi oil installations again.
Which the US will use to promote an Iran war.
The Saudis are doing this because they’ve been told by the Trump administration that the US has their back in an Iran war – and they’re dumb enough to believe they can weather an Iranian retaliation.
The fact that the Saudis are attacking the Houthis doesn’t reflect on their attempts to blame Iran for the attacks. That is what *reasonable* people will conclude. But the US electorate are morons and aren’t even sufficiently aware of the Yemen war to draw that conclusion.
All the US electorate will hear is “Iran attacked Saudi Arabia – again.” Period. Full stop.
