Patronising post by me elsewhere
Something about the Saudi action just reeks of a stage managed firework display for internal consumption.
embarrassed by the activity down below…I think they’ve kicked some sand around and pretended somebodys eyes were in the way
War and the dead is not funny..but the Saudi effort comes perilously close to being a comedy show
For a better explanation of the wider context ..heres where I lifted the link

didn’t realise this war was that much a circus .
My inkling came from the military video releases.One showed a mass barrage of missiles firing….as if they were fighting a standing well dug in enemy whereas in reality they were fighting a tribal insurgency…so those missiles must have been a fireworks display for the folks at home.
Another shows a Villa being destroyed because it overlooked Saudi positions from where they were being attacked….yet they were on higher ground nearby as they waited for the explosives to demolish the villa.So another implausible narrative.It looked like a local bigwigs house ( it was two storey ..which if you know these rural areas..means only one thing…it belongs to someone with an income .) …maybe is a tribal elder having his house blown up as an example….Israeli style.
And then the accusations of an AQ connection with the Houthis.The Saudis desparately seeking credibility .Is there anyone who believes this gibberish?
Do Saudis really buy into this?I’d love to know.
