Now, the Houthis of Yemen have taken control of the access point to the Red Sea and a vital link to Saudi Arabia has been closed off. The Saudis now only have the Suez Canal, overland to the North, and air for resupply and exports.
Saudi Arabia may fall. I say this because the Saudi military is pathetic. There is no fight in them, and even now they're running away, simply abandoning valuable US-made military equipment which the Houthis are happy to liberate.
Don't be surprised if you find the Saudi crown prince, MBS, turning up in Switzerland semi-permanently.
Brief history lesson: Saudi Arabia is essentially an invention of the British. Everyone knows the legend of 'Lawrence of Arabia' - T.E. Lawrence. It is amazing that it has lasted this long, but its days appear numbered.
