Yes, paper tiger. The US has been supplying SA weapons, training, intelligence and anything else for the last decade for the Saudis to crush Yemeni Houthis. The Saudis ended up getting their butts kicked by the rag tag Yemenis to the point the Saudis want no more of them. In fact, they are so terrified they want to US to back off.

Saudi Arabia calls for restraint after air strikes on Yemen

CAIRO, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia called for restraint and "avoiding escalation" in light of the air strikes launched by the United States and Britain against sites linked to the Houthi movement in Yemen, the kingdom's foreign ministry said on Friday.

Saudi Arabia, which has in recent months engaged in peace talks with Yemen's Houthis, was closely monitoring the situation with "great concern," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"The kingdom emphasizes the importance of maintaining the security and stability of the Red Sea region, as the freedom of navigation in it is an international demand," the ministry added.

The Houthi movement, an Iran-aligned group that controls much of Yemen after nearly a decade of war against a Western-backed and Saudi-led coalition, has emerged as a strong supporter of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in its war against Israel.

The group has been attacking commercial ships it says are linked to Israel or bound for Israeli ports.

The chief negotiator for the Houthis, Mohammed Abdulsalam, said on Thursday the group's attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea do not threaten its peace talks with Saudi Arabia.

as for Xiden....He is on record more than once in condemning a {president starting a war in the ME w/o Congressional approval. Apparently he's a megalomaniac liar. Will Congress impeach him?

“Another war in the Middle East is the last thing we need,” he said. “Make no mistake: Iran continues to be a bad actor that abuses human rights and supports terrorist activities throughout the region. But what we need is presidential leadership that will take strategic action to counter the Iranian threat, restore America's standing in the world.”

Separately, the campaign said that Biden believes war against Iran without specific congressional authorization “would be unconstitutional."

"An illegal war that puts at risk thousands of American lives and would bog down the U.S. military in conflict in the Middle East for years would certainly qualify as an impeachable offense,” Biden spokesperson T.J. Ducklo said in a statement to NBC News.
