They also have mediocre ability to extend a fight beyond their borders

Nothing is more certain than the fall of the House of Saud.

We've got the wrong horse here.

“run by Saudis who probably turned it off to have some man-fun in the sun”

Man-fun - not just for Thursday nights anymore.

I could see some Saudis fumbling some balls on the job (little pun there), but I still am amazed that this much ordnance could travel long distances in that part of the world, without a bunch of screens lighting up. I have not heard of one shot being fired in defense.

Dude:

Two of the largest state sponsors of terrorism in the world today are Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The U.S. maintains amicable relationships with both of them.

Osama bin Laden was sheltered by Pakistan's intelligence services after he fled from Afghanistan, for heaven's sake.

Looks like Donald Trump had these Saudis measured accurately five years ago:

MAGA.

I know. But the opportunity to take advantage of an ambiguity in the English language was just too tempting !

Man-fun = sex fort

Screens are manned by Arabs notoriously lax - anything can get by them - also real possibility they were Shia or belonged to some anti-kingdom faction.

Seems to me it was Israeli designed drones...

hmmm...

Though both China and Turkey has them...

Black market.

Why did Israel sell such tech to the Turks and the Chinese anyhow?`

Pay attention smart man...

Israeli arms sales to China and in general are subject to America veto. Turkey is a NATO ally and was a friend of Israel. It hasn't been for a while.
There is no evidence that these were Israeli. MEanwhile Iran has shown its drones in parades and operated them in Syria. It also gave them to Hezbollah, which used them in Syria and Lebanon and has used them to attack Israel. Iran arms the Houthis and is fighting a proxy war agains Saudi Arabia in Yemen for control of the Red Sea.
The real question is why you are committing treason against Western Civilization by supporting Iran

Why not be honest?

Saudi is of course worse to the world, but Iran with a nuke is a threat towards Israel.

Say that.

And, I will fight with you against any Iranian nuke.

Just stop lying.
