We could not agree more with General Hossein when he states that Saudi’s decision to commit troops to Syria is a political joke. In his defence we think he was being too polite, the idiotic brainless prince who is now defence minister because his father is senile has no knowledge of military warfare and is complexly out of his league.

His tribal allies are no match for the experienced, better organised and well-armed Houthi rebels. Full Story
Bottom line the house of Saud instead of learning from their recent mistake is looking to compound this mistake by committing troops to Syria. Perhaps some last minute sense might be knocked into this Prince Salman’s head otherwise, he will find himself in the tragic position of informing mothers and fathers that their sons were killed fighting an unwinnable war.
TEHRAN (FNA)- Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami downplayed the Saudi officials’ decision to send forces to Syria under the banner ofa campaign against terror, adding that their deployment rhetoric is a “political joke”. “Saudi troop deployment to Syria is more like a political joke than a field reality,…
