Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇾🇪 🇸🇦 1,600 Libyans were killed in an assault that only needed pickup trucks with guns bolted to them, and the Houthis have studied it. Fmr. U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance draws a straight line from the Toyota War to what fast-moving Houthi columns could do rolling north into Saudi territory: "Every one of these scenarios that sounds crazy is now viable." Saudi Arabia spent hundreds of billions on aircraft and air defense designed to stop a conventional army, and none of it was built for a few hundred trucks moving faster than the kingdom can make decisions. @MalcolmNance

🇸🇦 🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia may have to ask permission from Yemen or Iran to ship its own oil. Fmr. U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance has been warning for weeks that the kingdom is losing control of every route out. "Whether they have to kiss the ring of a Shia muslim government in Yemen or Iran to move any of their oil out of their own country, that will become unacceptable." A monarchy built entirely on selling crude cannot survive someone else holding the door, and Riyadh will either cut a deal it hates or start a war it has already shown no appetite for fighting. @MalcolmNance
