🚨🇺🇸🇸🇦 The State Department issued a worldwide travel caution as embassies across the Gulf warned of airspace closures, and Iraqi sources say the fear is a Houthi and Iraqi militia ground raid into Saudi Arabia The alerts went out to Americans in Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Lebanon and Israel within minutes of each other, warning of cancelled flights and closed skies, and the worldwide caution followed, naming Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian airports as the reason. The raid claim comes from a single Iraqi outlet and is unconfirmed. Malcolm Nance, who fought in the 1985 desert war in Chad, thinks the right word is maraud rather than invade. Fifty pickups skip the border post, wreck the Jizan refinery 25 kilometers inside the kingdom, gas up at Saudi stations and drive home. They can't hold a town. They don't need to. The bigger question is why Riyadh's Apaches aren't already patrolling that border, because a kingdom that won't mobilize teaches its enemies that the next raid is free. @MalcolmNance
