[YvrzTrvly]

saudi arabia has to be one of the most pathetic countries around. all that money and dumb as rocks. if oil wasn't discovered in that desert we wouldn't even know about them. they spend all that money on military equipment and still get their shyt pushed in.

if we weren't going to get dragged into it somehow i would be hoping iran gave them that work

Perhaps now but you realize the middle east at one point in time was the epicenter for human civilation

Don't even get me started on Saudi Arabia

The Saudis have always been deeply frightened of the military and they swore to never allow a real functioning army to be created, because they might lose control over it. Its always been a facade, the security of the House of Saud was guaranteed by the US. They then proceeded to reward their masters by allowing US and British Defense firms to get their own slush funds and sources of easy cash in the form of regular arms purchases.

The whole point of the Saudi armed forces is to provide a form of social security for Saudi youth and a place to dump potential troublemakers. It is also as a form of tribute to the US and UK by propping up their defense firms by buying equipment that Saudis cannot even man fully.

The only functioning armed group in Saudi is the National Guard and they are composed of loyal tribesmen to the throne. They are better trained/equipped than the army and their job is to protect the House of Saud NOT the country. So they specialize in counterterrorism/insurgency and intelligence gathering.

The whole thing is fake news, the Saudis still have Pakistani Air Force pilots on loan to man their fighter planes. They're using mercenaries from Latin America in Yemen right now. Training for the army is non-existent.

It explains how Houthi tribesmen who are driving technicals and armed with lighter arms that are not as advanced have overpowered and brutalized a couple of Saudi brigades.


On paper, Saudi Arabia is a major power on the level of Israel and Turkey with the types and number of weapons systems available. The reality is that Saudi's 250,000 armed force is more or less equal to Oman's tiny yet effective 30,000 man armed force. The UAE's 50,000 man force is superior to the Saudis and can hypothetically defeat the Saudis in a war. You really think they can go toe to toe with Iran?

If Jordan is given permission by the US, they can avenge history and reclaim the Hejaz and all Saudi Arabia within weeks, there will be minimal opposition from the army. They will face a challenging guerilla war from the loyal tribes in the National Guard.

They have used so much of their foreign currency reserves for the war in Yemen. Saudis are going to actually be taxed now and subsidies are being cut. They're performing self sabotage.

saudi arabia has to be one of the most pathetic countries around. all that money and dumb as rocks. if oil wasn't discovered in that desert we wouldn't even know about them. they spend all that money on military equipment and still get their shyt pushed in.

5* posting. Especially on the army being social security and a dump for trouble makers. The gulf region in general does that low skill civil service jobs like the police, bureaucratic office jobs and shyt like that(Go to Qatar or the UAE's airport and you'll see that citizens are employed in all the passport control and immigration points as well as security.) Military school is seen as a career pathway to discipline delinquents and troublemakers in high school.

Have you personally been to the gulf or lived there? Because this is spot on lol.

The same way the Afghan war led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the war in Yemen is going to lead to the end of the house of Saud. They are burning money in that war. At least 15 million a day in that war. The Houthi border raids are killing Saudi guards at a high rate that they have to hire mercenaries to man the borders. Iran sprung the Yemen trap. They don't need the Houthis to win the war. All they want to do is turn Yemen into a festering wound for Saudi Arabia. The Saudis and GCC nations will burn cash into the nation while bankrupting themselves in the long run. The Saudis and GCC have no experience in war let alone a guerilla war. If the US struggles with defeating insurgencies then the GCC will fail at it.
