The Houthis won’t invade..true..but Iran?...Look, Saudi Arabia is the real target in the middle east..That’s what Saddam wanted all along. The Kingdom is a rotten house of cards..ready to implode...and lots of the thousands of royal princes..who will never get to exercise any power..are strong sympathizers with the radicals..and have funded them. Don’t forget that Saudi airliner that left DC right after 9/11..we should have shot it down..
Desert Storm was mounted to send a message to anyone contemplating an invasion of Saudi Arabia - don't even think it. We did it for Kuwait, and we sure as heck would do it for Saudi Arabia. The issue with Saudi Arabia isn't the princes - it's the population. Short of genocide, there's nothing we can do about their radicalism. The Saudi royals pulled back on liberalization after they saw what happened to the Shah. Can't get ahead of popular opinion in these matters.
Muslim radicalism is a global trend fed by universal literacy. China has no Saudi-funded mosques, and their Muslims are radicalized. Christians point to the Prince of Peace as their role model. Buddhists point to Buddha, who was an Indian prince who gave up his birthright to seek enlightenment as a wandering holy man. Muslims have Muhammad, a brigand who made armed conquest a religious obligation. Of course they're violent.
