It’s Lebanon that’s the big problem. Lebanon is like a fulcrum for Middle East stability right now. There’s a couple of million refugees that might suddenly be on the move again. That could have a huge destabilising effect on Jordan, Iran and of course Europe, as more and more look to escape.
Saudi Arabia have so much to answer for, but while our economies are so entangled, no solution will be sought, let alone reached.
The Saudis have very cleverly and very successfully put themselves in such a strong position in the world, forcing us to treat Iran as the enemy and forcing them to pursue an ever more dangerous foreign policy to try to defend their interests.
As for the Yemenis, they’re using largely the same weapons they had when they invaded Oman in the 70’s. It’s a bit rich for us in the west to sit and talk about who’s arming the Yemenis when it’s the Saudis killing them by the thousand with weapons we sold them.
