Saudi Arabia: 'National Security' Suddenly a 'Red Line' For Allies Within Its Own Invasion
The irony isn't just thick; it's a super-dense neutron star of hypocrisy. Saudi Arabia, which has for nearly a decade spearheaded a brutal war on Yemen, now suddenly finds its 'national security' breached because its supposed allies, the UAE, are overstaying their welcome in the very conflict Riyadh initiated. For nearly ten years, Saudi-led forces, with extensive U.S. and UK support in weapons
and logistics, have waged a devastating air campaign and blockade that has killed hundreds of thousands, created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and destabilized an entire nation. Yet, the real 'red line' apparently isn't the slaughtered innocents or the ruined infrastructure, but a spat over who controls Yemeni territory among the aggressors. It’s almost as if 'national security' is
merely a euphemism for 'our turn to plunder.' This isn't about protecting the Saudi people; it's about protecting Saudi interests—which, in this context, seem to involve maintaining regional dominance and controlling Yemen through proxies. The mainstream media, dutifully reporting on the latest diplomatic friction, conveniently forgets to consistently highlight the U.S. complicity in this ongoing
humanitarian catastrophe, or the fact that both Saudi Arabia and the UAE couldn't wage this war without western arms. (OpenSecrets.org shows major defense contractors lobbying heavily on foreign policy, and specific arms sales to these nations are public record.) The 'red line' isn't Yemen's sovereignty or its people's lives; it's which authoritarian state gets to carve up the war-torn nation
