Caught On Tape: Saudi Warplanes Bomb Yemen

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday we saw the tracers against the dark night sky, tonight we get the video of Saudi warplanes bombing various Houthi positions. All looks quite "decisive" to us...

Powerful explosions rocked the Houthi-held Sanaa on Thursday night as a Saudi-led coalition carried out air strikes against Shiite rebels in control of the Yemeni capital, an AFP correspondent reported.

 

Anti-aircraft fire erupted in response to what witnesses said were air strikes by the coalition forces against a camp at al-Istiqbal, on Sanaa's western entrance.

Via Al-Arabiya...

U.S. Caves to Key Iranian Demands as Nuke Deal Comes Together

Limited options for Congress as Obama seeks to bypass lawmakers

http://freebeacon.com/national-security/u-s-caves-to-key-iranian-demands-as-nuke-deal-comes-together/

 

 

This type of concession would allow Iran to continue work related to its nuclear weapons program, even under the eye of international inspectors. If Iran removes inspectors—as it has in the past—it would be left with a nuclear infrastructure immune from a strike by Western forces.

First the music in the video is by that fucked up arabic channel Al-Arabiya, which was bought and paid for by you tax fiat and mine.

2- What the fuck is so special about this single drop video playing over and over again. The Sauds must have been practicing well for this shit since 9/11.

3- For anyone who does not think that Iran is the final target with this, you need to get your head checked. What this coalition is doing by telling Iran we're after you, will be in for a nice burning surprise if Iran decides to retaliate. Of Course, that scumbag zionist "BIBI" has his agenda well into play here.

We're in hot waters and I really wish for everyuone to see the longterm picture here. Do you really think the ME will be safe again? or Europe and the U.S? for Anyone? This thing will go global before you know it. Those dicks that we thought we can fuck the world with, will have a painful boomerang.

Nobel Prize-Winning NGO: US Wars in Last Decade Killed Estimated 2 Million

Only days after President Obama announced that troops would remain in Afghanistan through 2015, a new study reveals the massive cost of war. Through its campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, the US may be responsible for the deaths of millions.

The study, conducted by the Nobel Prize-winning NGO Physicians for Social Responsibility, found the estimated number of dead in those three nations to be shockingly high.

"This investigation comes to the conclusion that the war has, directly or indirectly, killed around 1 million people in Iraq, 220,000 in Afghanistan and 80,000 in Pakistan, i.e. a total of around 1.3 million."

The study also stresses that this number represents only a conservative estimate.

"The total number of deaths in the three countries named above could also be in excess of 2 million, whereas a figure below 1 million is extremely unlikely."

Whether we go to war or not, governments are oppressive. While you can cite the lost lives because of US intervention, one can also cite the lost lives of millions more because of oppressive dictatorships.

Yea, I prefer we don't send our own troops into other nations. But to say that if we didn't, many lives wouldn't be lost cannot be argued. Just like I can't argue that if we send troops in, so many lives will be saved. That is a false argument that both sides use continuously to propagandize. You can't back seat quarterback after the fact.

Either way I look at it, government is the problem. Whether it is our government or theirs.

BTW, not that reflects on you, because it doesn't. But a Nobel Prize doesn't mean shit these days.

Putin cancelled a fully signed contract with both Syria and Iran to sell them modern anti air missiles.  Iran has an ongoing lawsuit against Russia for violating that contract.  Iran's leader stated that Russia was in danger of making itself an enemy of Iran.

Russia voted FOR the sanctions against Iran.  Russia was instramental in forcing Syria to give up it's chemical weapons, making Syria more vulnerable.  Syria did not get any lessening of hostilities for doing so and Russia did not step forward to sheild Syria.

I can see the Saudis sunni wahabbi) causing a rash of riendly fire with these bombings, unless Isis (sunni wahabbis ultra fundamentalists)  supplies  gps info on the Houthis  in advance..which I am sure they do.  This will no doubt escalate the sectarianism we have seen so far. Sunni trrops in a shia populated also well armed by the same sides does not bode well for that country,

 

I also caution every Yemeni to postpone any wedding parties  until  this gets sorted out.

Once the 'rebels' learn why it is important to not carry their cellphones, the Saudi pilots will not have any targets except for scattered pickup trucks and civilians. Just like US drones and the Israeli Air Force in Gaza. And while the Saudi mass troops on the Yemen border, the rebels simply travel to Saudi Arabia and start the next attacks/rebellion in the Kingdom itself. All this is going to cost the Saudis a lot of cash, so watch for oil prices to keep climbing. And I fully expect at least one ship to get attacked from the Yemen coast. If for no other reason, Iran would love to see higher oil prices.

Yemen has one of the highest birth-rates outside of sub-Suharan Africa, and is almost evenly split between Sunni and Shite.    What else is there to know?  

This will go down like Libya; a fews weeks in the news.   Once off the headlines, the country goes down the memory hole with various tribes holding this-and-that.

Politicians go look for a new toy, to break.
