Saudi Arabia and Oman are both ruled by absolute monarchies that have cemented political control over their respective nations. Both countries have plenty of corruption and poverty, and the governments are shit, but at least things are stable and predictable for the populace.

Yemen has not found a stable political structure yet. Since throwing of British colonial rule in the 1960s (not the first foreign power to control the region, and surely not the last) Yemen has been in on-again off-again civil wars as various factions fight for control. Continued foreign intervention has not helped calm things down. The Yemeni people will continue to suffer as long as the fighting continues.

Oh, and Yemen’s aquifers are drying up. Yemen may become the first country in the world to literally run out of fresh water. That is not going to help anything.

The US has had a continuous and significant military presence in Kuwait since 1991. They have multiple bases in Al Jahra Governate. The whole world already knows where these bases are. You didn’t score some great gotcha against the US military.

Fuck Trump and fuck this stupid war with Iran. But even so, it’s shitty of you to fantasize about getting someone killed.

Sitting at a desk all day, starting at screens, can become so banal. Variety is the spice of life, no? If you aren’t using black-market RPGs to blast vaguely identified boats from the open side of a Vietnam-era helicopter then are you even living?
