[Ryujin]

Houthi leader says Saudi Arabia will regret this agression. Indeed! it's about time this backward, horrific regime fell.

Who is Ansarullah?

"Ansaru-Allah" is the official name of the Houthi rebels.

shia are 45 percent of the total yemen population.As far as i know alchaida controls part of yemen that is sunni If arabia was honest about terrorism saudis should have attacked alchaeda to.Oh wait a minute who gives arms to the rebels in syria to fight an elected government ,its saudis.With this action iran may well attack syrian rebels with airplanes since they are fighting to overthrow an elected regime.Its exactly the same story .

Buy crude oil futures contracts.

Easy way to make money off of this war. Oil will go back above $55-60.

[Nebuchadnezzar]

This war is to protect the Saudi-Rulers, no more no less...... This isn't about Yemen, or sunnis.

[Ryujin]

Kill Gulf states with fire

[Sideritis]

Erdogan supported Saudis in Yemen.

So what exactly is going on? What is this about? I have no clue.

[Vullkan]

its about sunni vs shia

[Sideritis]

its about sunni vs shia

I may not have any clue but religion motivated wars, without economical interest sound unrealistic to me.

The Saudi's are heavily armed and yet they are afraid of only a few armed Houtis.

The Houtis are on the verge of capturing the southern city of Aden and all of Yemen with it (the so called president of Yemen has fled the country to Saudi Arabia) which has provoked Saudi Arabia to launch air-strikes.

The Sunnis (southerners) in Yemen have proven to be a weak and feeble lot compared to the northern Shia's.



The real question now is what is Iran going to doing after Saudi Arabia attacked the Houtis in Yemen???
