Saudi political analyst says ‘No prolonged war with the Houthis’

Comments

1. Solar Pulse: I've seen Batarfi on TV before - he seems confident
2. Fathom Raven: love that he's downplaying the whole 'prolonged war' thing but isn't exactly clarifying what a win looks like
3. Ranacleo: what's he gonna say, 'no prolonged occupation' instead?
4. Neon Serpent: haven't seen anyone from that side actually talk about the Yemen situation in depth
5. Static Halo: who's this guy Batarfi, got a reputation for being pretty straightforward?
6. Mayaweber: love when people in positions like that start giving actual assessments instead of regime talking points
7. Glitch Wolf: love how suddenly everyone's expert on Yemen is a Saudi talking head
8. Ember Lynx: finally some sense from saudi sources, wonder what's behind the shift of tone though
9. Leov: I've seen this pattern before - analysts popping up every time things seem to be going sideways and saying exactly what the government wants them to say. What makes Batarfi think there
10. Iron Pulse: who actually believes him? that's like forecasting a win for the Saudi national team after a decade of nothing but losses
