The Guardian: Civilian casualties grow as battle for Yemeni city intensifies

WNU Editor: This war is being under-reported in the West. Not so in Iran, where the press in that country is predicting victory for their Houthi allies .... Yemeni army, popular committees closing in on Marib city (MEHR News Agency).
If the Houthis take Marib and the US shows an indolent lack of concern, I expect Saudi Arabia to perceptibly to swing to Russia.
ReplyDeleteSending Blinken to move his jaw up and down and mutter platitudes is not going to cut it.
If Saudi Arabia should use cluster bombs, the US will condemn, embargo weapons, etc. The usual Lefty American Bullshit. They should also use mortars and drones. The Saudis need to consult the Turks, Azeris, Ukrainians and put boots on the ground.
Nice nice
