Saudi Arabia Demands: 'Stop Fighting Our War, For A Second'
Riyadh is miffed that its ‘anti-Houthi alliance’ is, shall we say, less than unified. Al Jazeera calls the seizure of oil-rich provinces an 'unjustified escalation' and notes the kingdom's 'demands.' One might wonder how Riyadh, which spearheaded a coalition that has killed over 377,000 people and driven millions to famine since 2015 , gets to define 'unjustified escalation.' This isn't just about
'cracks' in an alliance; it's the predictable implosion of a years-long Saudi-led resistance against imperialism. Remember when Saudi Arabia was lauded as a crucial US partner, despite its indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets with Western-supplied weapons? Our media framed it as a necessary fight against Iranian influence. Now, the regional playground bullies are fighting amongst themselves,
and Riyadh is suddenly playing peacemaker to the forces it armed and funded, because when your proxies get out of hand, it's called 'destabilization.' When you do it, it's 'regional security.'
