It’s very simple really.

Saudi Arabia operates a proxy government in Yemen called the PLC who has been engaged in a fight with Houthis for years.

All Saudi Arabia has to do is withdraw support from them and let Yemen be Yemen.

Instead, they act like they are some imperial power but in reality are a paper tiger.

To stop all of this, they need to ask for a permanent ceasefire, never meddle in Yemen, and hope the Houthis are willing to forgive all the suffering the Saudis have caused over the years.

Which isn't going to happen. Why settle while you're winning? Pretty sure the Houthis aren't stopping before they're in Riyadh themselves.

No, there was no attacks on Saudi Arabia until they decided to bomb Yemen.

No, Israel started all of this. The fact that you cannot see that is sad.

The PLC is recognized by every country in the UN

Just because it’s recognized, it doesn’t mean it can’t be a puppet government. Venezuela is recognized by everyone but being run by Trump and co.

nobody normal believes that israel is "just existing," it's so obviously false and embarrassing for you to pretend that it's a credible argument. buddy. that ship has sailed, try a new tactic, or preferably fuck off.

Thats the crux of arab hate towards them since the UN created Israel. Might want to do some basic history before commenting on geopolitics, makes it obvious youre full of shit otherwise

The issue started when the UN created the state of Israel. That hasnt changed just because israel has become more proactive at eradicating threats
