Riyadh's allies are the army and the navy. Saudi Arabia desperately tries to gain support in the war with Yemen 🗣🇸🇦 Riyadh, whose army cannot hold back the Houthi advance, is looking for allies. First the Kingdom hoped for partners in the Mecca Agreement — Turkey and Pakistan. But Islamabad, tied to Tehran, is in no hurry to fight for the Saudis. Then Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman requested help from Israel through CENTCOM, but received only intelligence data. Now he has flown to Cairo to ask Egypt. 🇪🇬 The reason for these vacillations is the weakness of the Saudi army. Command posts are distributed through family and personal ties, and officers with initiative are kept from promotion: they are feared as a potential threat to power. As a result, the army is oriented more towards protecting the regime than towards conducting real combat operations. 🕊🇵🇸But Egypt, most likely, will not side with Saudi Arabia either. Cairo has long refrained from fighting beyond its borders and remembers the hard war in Yemen in the 1960s. Moreover, the Egyptian population is unlikely to support a war against the Houthis, who position themselves as defenders of Palestine. Riyadh, possessing enormous wealth and claiming leadership in Western Asia, has been left without an army and without allies. 👨🦱🛢 Cadres decide everything. Without competent leaders and an effective system, in any sphere even enormous money will never yield a qualitative result. An army rests on an economic rear, but wars are won by people. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
