🗣📺🇸🇦🇪🇬🇾🇪 "Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman flew to Cairo to ask for Egypt's help in protecting him from Ansar Allah."

So, so far:

🟡🇹🇷 Saudi Arabia asked for help from Turkey, but Turkey refused;

🟡🇵🇰 Saudi Arabia asked for help from Pakistan, but Pakistan refused;

🟡🇮🇱 Saudi Arabia asked for help from Israel, but Israel refused;

🟡🇸🇦 The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and its "Peninsula Shield" military forces have not activated its article on joint defense and have not protected any Arab monarchy of the Persian Gulf from Iranian missiles; it is pointless to rely on the GCC now.;

There won't be any help coming from the United States, it finally became clear during the war with Iran.;

The Arab coalition - assembled to invade Yemen brutally bombed this unfortunate country for more than 10 years, bringing the situation to a humanitarian catastrophe — exhausted itself without achieving any success.;

The military operation "Prosperity Guardian " which was supposed to be conducted by an international coalition of 20 states under the auspices of the United States in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, also came down to strikes on Yemen and officially ended in May 2025, but did not have much success.;

The Mecca Pact predictably turned into a zilch — it turns out that it gets activated only in the event of an invasion by "Ansar Allah" on the territory of Saudi Arabia, and missiles from Yemen against Saudi targets are not considered "invasion";

Will Egypt now reject the Saudis, just like everyone else?

Saudi Arabia is among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of military spending (ranks 7th there as of 2025). The kingdom's military budget is estimated to be $72.53 billion, the volume of military spending per capita is $1,951 (that is, for a moment, 9th place in the world). The Saudis have bought tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons and still can't protect themselves. Nor will others do it for them.

"""" By the way, Ansar Allah is literally the only force that protects the Yemeni people but it is not a full-fledged army: for example they don't have a navy or an air force (& Saudi Arabia does).

NO Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today or This Week

As most of you doubtless know, I am in Chicago in the United States attending the Integrity Media Awards.

I have a packed schedule, with meetings and events today and the main event tomorrow. On Friday I am flying back to London, where I will arrive on Saturday morning.

Unfortunately that makes it impossible for me to host a Live Stream either today or on any other day this week.

My big apologies to everyone for this, but looking forward very much to our Live Stream and engagement with you all next week.

Scott Bessent is sitting in a restaurant. A woman stands up and says: "Let's raise our glasses to the man who is calmly eating while people all over the world are dying of hunger because of the sanctions he imposed. Sanctions that are an economic war."

He is responsible for the deaths of 600,000 people each year due to these sanctions. How many more people must die because of the blood on your hands?

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
