YEMEN AND WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO SAUDI?
Once again, and predictably I might add, the stability of
Yemen moves to the forefront, or at least from the Saudi perspective that is.
I was reading the attached story by Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor
and was struck by a comment that I had not considered.
In the eyes of the GCC leadership, the Persians now control four
historically significant Arab capitals: Damascus, Baghdad, Beirut and now
Sanna.
So, what is truly more important to Saudi and thus the GCC?
The defeat of a proxy organization, admittedly a dangerous
one, or the Persians?
Can a Sunni based movement be manipulated by the Persians to
kill fellow Sunnis?
Yes and it is already taking place.
Can this same movement be utilized to disrupt the Persian
plans?
Yes, just look at Iraq.
So, in the eyes of the Gulf States, where is the real
threat?
Are the events in Yemen more important than the events in
Syria?
Depends on who you ask.
What will the new event in Yemen lead to?
Did the GCC members take part in the mission to bomb Syria
for the sake of the West?
Did the GCC take part in order to show the Persians they
have the will and the ability to fight in an integrated fashion?
If yet another “statement” needs to be made by the Saudis
and the GCC, will it be made in Yemen?
Will the Peninsula Shield forces be used in Yemen?
Where to the Saudi F15 /16s fly next?
If the mission is to “destroy” the “Terrorist”, does only
the West get to define who the Terrorist are?
