The missile was fired from neighboring Yemen on Saturday by the Houthis, a rebel group with ties to Iran that has been battling a Saudi-led military coalition.

Saudis clearing house and now this? Right out of the fascist/commie playbook, purge the government and claim a foreign power was trying to stage a coup giving you a pretext for war.

There is a REASON the Pres of Lebanon resigned within an hour of meeting the King-To-Be, IN Saudi Arabia. He did not even wait to get home.

I wonder if Trump told the Saudi’s that ‘We have your back’ if push comes to shove with Iran?

“I wonder if Trump told the Saudi’s that ‘We have your back’ if push comes to shove with Iran?”

Saudi cannonfodders from the west and the east will be fighting this war. Hopefully, it is mostly the latter.

Probably hitting the fan - and beyond.

Could hit the stratosphere in the form of tiny particulate matter and blown east, causing more Shiite smog over China.

The high flying Shiite particulate matter could then reflect solar radiation back into space, causing the earth to cool.

In high volume, Shiite particulate matter pollution might then cause severe global cooling, triggering the resumption or next stage in our ice age.

And BAM! Global warming threat solved!

Someone needs to notify AlGore, the UN, and the Euro-weenie’s about this!

Way more credible a scientific theory than “carbon credits” having any impact!

We got this!
