The Saudis can't win a war in Yemen much less Lebanon, or are they just going to covertly back the Israelis? That war stalemated too, and that was before an entire generation of Israeli soldiers first combat experience was preteens with rocks.

Is this supposed to another GCC masterstroke or are they going to be tacitly backing some dumbass Israeli incursion? Because that's what all successful Saudi monarchs have done, start multiple wars and (more openly) support Israel. I'm sure the Salafists and the tribesman whose welfare gets cut off are going to love this poo poo.

Brown Moses posted:Although no-one appears to give a poo poo anymore, the OPCW-FFM just released a report detailing the use of Sarin in an incident a week before the April 4th Khan Sheikhoun attack. Unusually they included lots of photos of debris recovered from the site, some of which indicates the same bomb was used in Khan Sheikhoun and this earlier attack, and the Sarin used has one of the chemical markers that the OPCW-UN JIM stated was an indication the Sarin was Syrian government produced. I wrote a bunch of poo poo about it here Something something the lion Assad. Out of curiosity, what if anything has the US under Trump said about Syria wrt chemical weapons?

It consisted of a bunch of Colombians getting lost in the desert while a group fast boated into Doha harbor, couldn't read the signs, asked for directions to the palace and were promptly arrested.

I'm more curious how anyone is loyal to Saleh. How many groups has he used to try and reclaim power?

Best way to counter Iran's growing hegemony is to alienate all my allies and non-aligned countries. *Taps head three times.*
