Saudi Arabia Discovers 'National Security' When Others Fight Its War
Saudi Arabia, having subcontracted much of its disastrous Yemen war to the UAE, is now shocked—SHOCKED—that its partner's separatist proxies are making territorial gains. After its own coalition airstrike on a UAE weapons shipment, Riyadh suddenly deems the STC's advances a direct threat to its national security. This isn't newfound concern; it's classic imperial backstabbing, a tactical pivot now
that the UAE's puppets might actually achieve something resembling independent power. This 'discovery' of a national security threat only occurs when the chosen henchmen start gaining too much leverage. It's a convenient narrative shift, ensuring the endless regional power struggle continues, but always on terms favorable to the Kingdom. How many more years will Yemen be the proving ground for
Gulf petrodollar-fueled proxy wars before anyone asks what 'security' they're actually protecting?
