πΈπ¦πΎπͺ Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline is reportedly shut again with 4 of its 13 pumping stations knocked out, on the same day its Yemen counteroffensive collapsed within hours Larry Johnson's independent source puts stations eight, nine and ten hit and seven apparently idle, and in his view a line built around 13 stations with four down doesn't move oil at all, though the shutdown itself is still unconfirmed and others read partial flow. Either way, the bypass Riyadh counted on when Hormuz closed is in trouble. The battlefield matched the pipeline. The pro-Saudi government announced its coastal offensive in advance and reported gains along the shore and at the island commanding Bab el-Mandeb, a capture Larry doubts happened at all, and by late night pro-Houthi and independent trackers showed most of that ground retaken while Taiz sat encircled and a trapped pocket surrendered. Announcing an attack is how you let the enemy choose where to crush you, and bombing from altitude with nobody on the ground to guide it doesn't change that. Turkey and Pakistan may be sending troops under the Mecca alliance. He expects a token force guarding the holy cities, weeks in the moving, that never fights a Houthi, while the Saudis lack the ability to retake what they lost. @NewSonof
