Famed and grouchy Hungarian gymnastics coach. Cartwheeled himself over the Berlin Wall to freedom!

Yup. paprika.

At least this has the locals getting involved themselves instead of always sitting back and expecting the infidels to do it.

These "locals" are the nastiest bunch of bastards on the Earth. They would think nothing of hijacking airliners full of innocents and slamming them into skyscrapers full of innocents.

I hope that they cut each others throats.

Be funny if our Saudi 'friends' got their asses kicked as bad as the Finns did to the Russians during the first months of the 1940 Winter War. They're all assholes over there so fuck 'em all.

The Saudis don't have the same cultural constraints that the Finns and the Russians had so I doubt that their Yemen expedition is going to be going in giving a crap about human rights and all that other stuff that had no place on a battlefield.

Yemen is 65% Sunni, and 35% Shia. Be funny if Iran pulled the Putin 'protecting Shia abroad' card.

I'm 90% certain Iran has no capability to do such a ting.

Iran doesn't even have the capability to send a platoon across the Strait of Hormuz let alone the ability to put an army into Yemen and then supply them. Iran has zero logistical capability outside of Iran.

According to the Saudis though, it does at least have this.

On Sunday, the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Adel al-Jubeir, said the Lebanese Hezbollah militia was also supporting the Houthis.

That article is worth a read. It's an update on the Saudi led coalition. They had a meeting and agreed. They want to send a message to Iran and its supporters.

"It's on."

I'm starting to wonder if at least some of this is more about sending a message to Obama that they don't like his Iran coddling. Perhaps they're saying this is where we're going if you don't stop.

I call it the 6 year old child tactic.

I'd watch Egypt. They can't be liking Obama's stroking of the Muslim Brotherhood. Where will they fall in if it's about sending Obama a message?

The Saudis are going to kill this jerk first.

Sort of like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.....you hope both sides suffer huge losses.

Nuke the site (i.e. from Morocco to Indonesia, from Chechnya to Sudan) from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
