This is from an analyst in the middle east:
Yemen's adventurous multi drone attacks on the largest Saudi oil fields two days ago was a successful mission, the result of which curtailed Saudi oil production by 7 million barrels a day. This in turn will have a palpable effect on the global oil market exchange when they open their doors on Monday morning.
Questions are being raised as to the US's real ability to protect its client Saudi Arabia, as they've been contacted and paid handsomely by Saudi to do just that and failed BIGLY two days ago. How did a cluster of Yemeni drones traveling a distance of some 600+ miles from Yemen go all that distance undetected by the US Patriot system and its radars: a defensive system that was sold to Saudi Arabia and is run by American military technicians? Boggles the mind. Those 'cave-dwelling Yemenis', as Saudis call them, surely must dwell in some magnificently advanced hi-tech caves!
This massively significant operation did not only require sophisticated, hi-tech drones, but also apparently, as told yesterday by the Houthi military spokesperson, Yehya Srie, it also required an intensely deep and complex intelligence operation. In his press delivery yesterday, Srie also thanked, without naming names, "Saudi activists inside of Saudi Arabia for their cooperation and assistance in making this important mission possible and successful". Wow! For the first time, we're hearing of real collusion between the Houthis and the home-bound Saudi dissidents. Wow now THAT is some indicator of the 'confidence' that these saudi dissidents now have (no doubt some of them royal and with access, directly or indirectly, to intelligence material). This is the Saudi opposition's FIRST outing, albiet veiled. This is incredible progress for them and their cause.
I could link you to hundreds of articles on this Yemeni drone strike on Saudi oil fields and NONE of them would have mentioned Mr. Srei's thank you list. I know that he thanked Saudi dissidents because yesterday I watched him live on TV giving his statements on the event.
The Axis of Evil nations are stunned today. Pompeo is refusing to accept that the attack drones came from Yemen, and instead he believes they were sent by Iran. (He too believes that Houthis are "cave-dwellers" with only sticks and stones in hand). It's ALL Iran's fault, right?! LOL! The US is now furthermore accusing Iran of having bombed Saudi Arabia over 100 times: practically all the Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia Pompeo now believes have originated from Iran cuz you know, it's gotta be the Iranians because the Houthis are "cave dwelling" barefooted idiots lol! Way to cover your incompetent ass, Pompy!
But seriously, we have to ask the question here: did the US 'allow' for this attack to take place against the saudis oil market as a booster-maneuver for US oil and shale? Or, is the American Patriot surface-to-air missile system truly a lemon? A sour-faced lemon.
Let's wait and see how the global oil market reacts tomorrow.
But the exciting takeaway from this story is that saudi dissidents have now obviously collected themselves and organized into a single offensive underground movement, without getting their heads chopped off by MBS in the process.
Hands down, Saudi Arabia is the most dangerous place in the world for political dissenters. It's a marvel therefore when Saudi dissidents can operate at this level of rebellion from within Saudi Arabia.
