The Saudi capital was bombarded by a missile; but it was intercepted and shot down by the army.
The fire came from the Yemeni "Houthi" militia that is engaged in a long war with the Saudi Army.

Did it begin?

I wrote long ago about the fall of the kingdom; and that it already started to decay:

Quote:Atlas's Journals:
Monday, May 9, 2016

There are no jobs. Oil prices have increased, going out costs a lot nowadays. The high-standards of living has begun to vanish, the advent of this crisis brought a grim atmosphere that is dropping its shadow on the society.

The royal regime was hit so hard by the last drop in oil prices; the kingdom that almost have no source of income except the profits coming from oil extraction, had to kneel and immediately declare a change of tactics, under the name "vision of 2030".

Vision of 2030 includes giving up on the Wahhabi//Sunni faith that the kingdom always advocated -since its citizens have literally became furious with the faith and incapable of keep practicing it-, the infamous "Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice" will face strong restriction and it won't be able to move freely like it used to move; the pressure of certain western movements (especially in Britain) and the broadcast of many controversal videos, embarrassed the royal regime that used the " "Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice" for so many years to terrorize the population and keep it under control; keeping it isolated from the outside world, and punishing even the smallest acts -like getting a haircut or wearing bracelets- with lashing and torture.

This country is far gone. I smell a lot of death coming, poverty is a fact now, and civil grudges are already forming between the people.
I'm feeling stressed. This is big !

Can Yemen stand up to an all out Saudi wave?

What is virtue and what is vice?

Not terribly upset if the duplicitous Saudi fukkers get boar sodomized.

Eff em. And their fucking Wahhabism . . .

The Saudi invasion wave already failed. The war began 3 years ago:

The brutal war is still going, but news of the huge casualties in Saudi forces is already out. The invasion failed and sent the kingdom's economy to oblivion; and if bombardment reached the capital; it's defeat for the kingdom.

My tears would only fall for the innocent civilians.

And if most of those innocent Saudi civilian Muslims suddenly found themselves running the Kingdom they'd be fucking duplicitous Imam buttfucking Mohammadan ideologue oppressors themselves.

That sounds like stereotyping and judging; the same kind that led the Nazies to burn the Jews.

How different are the Qataris and the Yemeni and the Houthis, and the Saudis, and all of them ain't getting along right now with any of them.

I think there be bigger problems on the peninsula than me wishing a pox on all their houses.

And what's the common thread running thru all that sand?

The false religion of Mohammad.

Don't forget the Sunni and the Shiite.

Wow.  That word really does need the apostrophe!

I don't know what kind of shape Saudi Arabia is in but Yemen seems totally fucked flat.
