If the Houthis take Marib and the US shows an indolent lack of concern, I expect Saudi Arabia to perceptibly to swing to Russia.
Sending 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
Meanwhile the battle for the world is on, you're being enslaved and coerced into taking drugs
Maybe focus on what's happening big picture
Maybe you should focus on the weather in St Petersburg or Beijing.
