Terrorists are as terrorists do

I got hit by two news pieces. The first one was the Canberra Times, which I will discus second. After that I saw the news that Sky News gives us (at https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/global-affairs/iran-tells-houthis-to-close-red-sea-gateway-if-us-hits-power-network-sources-say/news-story/e0db23cd9c0ccb4eba564a13c222be79) where we see ‘Iran tells Houthis to close Red Sea gateway if US hits power network, sources say’. So, Iran vie Houthi terrorists attacks Saudi interests when another party attacks? And we let these settings happen? Lets’ be clear, Saudi Arabia has not now, not ever allowed the United States launch attacks on Iran via their ports and harbours. As such it now becomes unacceptable and I consider it up to Saudi Arabia to do whatever it needs to do to make certain its areas are terrorist clear. As I see it, It is up to Saudi Arabia to do what it needs to do, but as I gave both the UAE and Saudi Arabia my military IP and I find it totally acceptable to use this against Houthi terrorists. As such the Port of Aden is about to become the only way in or out, handing the Yemeni authorities a new strength and as the Port of Hodeidah, Port of Mukalla, Port of Mokha, Port of Saleef, Ras Isa Marine Terminal and the Port of Nishtun are now valid targets to be closed for months at a time. As I see it, Houthi terrorists will suddenly cry for mercy when their only access port becomes Route 45 (well, it goes through Saudi Arabia, so that one is out too). But more about that later. 

You see, the news all started with the Canberra Times (at https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/9312297/houthi-leader-warns-saudi-arabia-against-escalation/) giving us ‘Houthi leader warns Saudi Arabia against escalation’ well, Saudi Arabia did nothing to escalate, it was all the United States (with support from Israel) and they escalated Iranian actions. As such pretty much the whole world will allow Saudi Arabia do what it needs to do. And I gave my IP months ago, as such closing the harbours becomes a first step. So when we see “Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says all Saudi oil ‌and other vital facilities will be targets for the group’s missiles ‌and drones if Saudi Arabia escalates its involvement in the conflict.” Well, to be clear, Saudi Arabia hasn’t done this, it is just a hidden meaning of someone stopping anyone to halt the United States from attacking Iran, and they attacked ships in the strait of Hormuz. As I see it, Saudi actions are clear. They can attack any Houthi terrorist interests anywhere in Yemen, which pretty much guarantees shutting down their ports and the world will approve whatever Saudi Arabia thinks it needs to do. I don’t think Houthis terrorists have ever faced that before.  So the cry stories of those innocent Yemeni children will now go to deaf ears and as Saudi Arabia recently cleared 1,293 explosive devices in Yemen (source: Arab News) Houthi forces are about to learn what happens when the world has had enough with terrorists camouflaged threats. So whilst we see ““The real equation is ‌Sanaa airport for Riyadh airport, airports for airports, ports for ports, and blockade for blockade,” the Houthi leader said in a televised speech. Yemen has been mired in civil war for more than a decade since the Houthi rebels seized the capital Sanaa, prompting ‌a Saudi-led military intervention in 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government.” As such they camouflaged threat will be met with other settings. As Saudi Arabia retaliates I will have to revisit my IP that takes the highways out of the equation as well. It will effectively isolate Houthi terrorists in their places. So whilst Sky News gave us “Iran told Yemen’s Houthi rebels Wednesday to prepare to close the crucial Bab el Mandeb Strait — the critical shipping lane on the west side of the Arabian Peninsula— if the US strikes Iranian power plants.” There is a second setting, because this all relies on Iranian goods and when those are of the table, Houthi life will become a lot more difficult. Whatever happens, I hope the international world will give their support to Saudi Arabia to do whatever it needs to keep its places safe and secure. Because as I see it, Iranian actions shows that it has become as desperate as we have ever seen them and as Iran relies on terrorists to do their bidding, the hands of Saudi Arabia are no longer bound by international cry stories. 

There is only so much threats that we are willing to accept and Iran using terrorists against a nation who is not involved in activities against them, a nation that even denied the United States to act against from its lands, or even fly through its airspace. As such the war board will change a lot soon enough. 

How soon? That is up to Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi, but he needs to realise that the world will no longer idly stand by to these actions and I reckon that Saudi Arabia might find many nations willing to part with military hardware for Saudi Arabia in the process. 

So to all I wish you a happy lunchtime (Toronto) or dinner (Rotterdam) and I as I am still 360 minutes from breakfast I might treat myself to a cookie at present. Have a great day all.
