Oh, don't worry, the Saudis are getting bitten by the snake they helped make. Their forays into Yemen are proving how completely inept their military is. Ever seen an M1A2 Abrams explode?


Yup, M1A2 Abrams vs Light Infantry, in US hands it would result in a lot of dead Light Infantry, in Saudi hands...

Eventually Daesh are going to launch a probe into Saudi Arabia, and the whole lot is going to collapse in on itself like a house of cards with mass defections from the Saudi military. Perhaps even the Saudi royals fleeing the country, probably to America.

Of course, this will put us in the interesting situation of having lost our major Muslim 'ally' in the region, which means we're going to have to go cap in hand to Iran who has got its act together when it comes to Daesh but who is also fighting a cold war against Saudi Arabia.

We're basically coming to a time where we're going to have to re-evaluate how we perceive certain nations in the Middle East, Iran in particular. Heck, even the Taliban are fighting against Daesh now.
