This looks like a genuine leaked email. The effect of this leaked email that the Saudi Crown Prince has had enough of his stupid war against the Yemen must have a devastating effect on the already non existent morale of the Saudi armed forces.
Can you imagine if you are a Saudi soldier or Saudi general risking your life fighting at the frontline and your leaders in Riyadh are crying, "Ummi, ummi save me. I want to get out of this war with Yemen".
I hope our local kaum DNA bahalol will also take note.
Pak Arab Unta sendiri sekarang sudah menyesal main api di Yemen.
Seronok-seronok nak pi bom dan hancurkan negeri orang lain.
Sekarang terima padah pula.
Sekarang Pak Arab Unta sudah menyesal kalah.
Nak gostan pula.
I hope you really feel stupid again today.
The Iranians have a standing joke about Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Army does NOT know how to use all the high tech weapons they have bought from the US.
As one stark example the Saudis are really inept at driving and manouvering their M1 Abrams tanks. They often leave their tanks with the rear (the weakest part of the tank) exposed or facing the enemy. Hence a 'Made-In-The-Village' RPG round can destroy a US$10 million tank.
The Saudi airforce cannot fly without American groundcrews to keep the planes serviced and flying. This has been going on for about three decades now. The US Airforce provides air to air refuelling for the daily bomb runs against Yemen.
Mohamed Bin Salman's war against Yemen is NOT being fought by the Saudis.
The problem for MBS is the Yemeni embarassment is getting worse for him.
The Saudis attacked Yemen sometime in May 2015.
This is now the third year of the war.
The Saudis are losing to the Houthis.
The Houthis are still holding their ground. In fact the Houthis are well entrenched inside THREE Saudi border provinces ie Asir, Jizan and Najran. These THREE provinces were originally Yemeni territory which was invaded by the Saudis in the 1930s.
It was only somewhere in the 2000s that Saudi Arabia formally made an announcement that they were annexing Asir, Jizan and Najran as part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Yemenis are now reoccupying those same territories which was theirs in the first place.
To end the war the Saudis must pay war reparations for all the damage they have done in Yemen.
The Saudis must also pay 'blood money' for the more than 10,000 Yemenis they have murdered.
Plus the tens of thousands they have injured and maimed by dropping illegal cluster bombs on them.
The Saudi Crown Prince has said that he does not mind if Iran is involved in the process. This is a BIG BIG mistake.Even the Houthis did not ask for this.
Yemen will demand that the naval blockade against them must be lifted.
This will allow the flow of supplies and (Iranian) weapons into Yemen.
I think the Iranians will also demand that the Saudis leave alone the Shias in Qatif, eastern Saudi Arabia. Iranian weapons will possibly find their way into that region as well.
Mohamed Bin Salman's head must roll.
There has to be a change in leadership in Saudi Arabia as well.
It is way overdue that both the Wahhabi paganism and the Saudi clan be replaced by a more Islamic and a more civilised group of people. It will be good not only for their people but also for the Islamic world and the rest of the world.
Herein lies great opportunity.
