As reported first thing today, while the initial phase of the military campaign against Yemen has been taking place for the past 18 hours and been exclusively one of airborne assaults by forces of the "Decisive Storm" coalition, Saudi hinted at what is coming next following reports that it had built up a massive 150,000 troop deployment on the border with Yemen.

Not this time, the Saudis learned from that and have US contract maintenance teams and lots of lowboys for transport.

This could be the unravelling of Saudi Arabia. Watch the Kingdom be seduced by the hate of terrorists against America and all muslims turn on us together.
About time the people who live there do the work. Don’t know why they would want some “power sharing” though, getting rid of the trouble makers all together would be nice.
If she says arab spring, “democratic” etc... Run for your lives. If she is blamed for failing freeing women, that is sexist...
