Is there a more useless military than the Saudis?

On paper, they have one of the most powerful militaries in the Middle East fully supplied by the Americans, yet they’re allowing dudes who fight barefoot to dominate them just south of their border and launch attacks that cripple their primary revenue stream. Then they beg Trump to do the work for them.

Are they pussies or incompetent?

In 1985 there were a lot of low level Saudi guards in the kingdom that carried their rifles with the muzzle in their arm pit. How did we know they were safe carrying? Never saw a one armed Saudi....guns were not loaded

all muslims are pussies. The reason they do horrific things to people is to make you think they are horrific. I am a big believer in treating them several times worse than they treat their combatants.

But the MSM (Lying Media) loves to call them terrorists, not because they are, but to put fear into the person who pays attention to the Lying Media (MSM).

No living person can create more terror in another than a highly trained American special ops officer.

Word!!

I agree. Time for the Saudis (and other middle east countries) to start helping in a meaningful way instead of a couple of phone calls to Trump.

They buy stuff. They don't fight. I'm sure they are trying to think of a way to buy themselves out of this.

Saudi Arabians are some of the laziest people on this earth. Wealth has made them literally a complete socialist society.

They had some good jet pilots during our fight with Saddam Hussein. But they were all members of the Royal House of Saud. They were rich and trained in the U.S. The royal family is very large because all fathers and grandfathers had lots of wives. Personally, I find having one wife is all I can stand.

Yemen has a roughly equal population to Saudi Arabia. The Houthis are being armed by Iran, Russia, and China. The Houthis are dug in, fighting on home turf, and in a very mountainous region.

It is our fault for not providing proper support to them. Trump should have bombed the Houthi or even send ground forces. We need Saudi and Israel to be allies long term to achieve peace in the Middle East. Now MBS will turn to Pakistani or god forbid China or Russia over us.

If their military were competent, it would be easy to overthrow the house of saud, so they intentionally keep their military janky af.

All Islamic militaries are useless. Islamic males seem scared of direct military action

The real threat is the women and children they force to wear explosive vests or plant roadside bombs.

The ONLY way to achieve any semblance of peace in that region would be to completely remove Iran, Israel, and ‘Palestine’ from existence. Leaving any of those three will make peace impossible.

Blame Obama. He handicapped the Saudis against the Houthis because Obama favored the Muslim Brotherhood, which led to:

I seem to recall the Saudi's having the Houthi's licked and were closing in on the Houthi's main stronghold/sea port. But Trump's first term state department shut them down.
