Scott Ritter: BREAKING: Saudi Air Force Joins Massive Offensive at Bab al-Mandab
Summary
Scott Ritter analyzes the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, arguing that Ansarallah’s destruction of Saudi oil infrastructure signals the strategic defeat of the Saudi regime and the impending fall of MBS. He dismisses the "Mecca Pact" as a logistical nightmare and predicts that neither Pakistan nor Turkey can save Saudi Arabia from collapse. The discussion also covers the failed US blockade of Iran, the resilience of the Iranian economy, and skepticism regarding the Dubai flight hijacking incident.
