Oh sarcasm ( last line) delivered with a warm voice. sigh. Let’s hope the French are equally ineffective should it come to a clash with the Russians. It looks as if the military wants cooperation but the deep state of France does not. Watch your back Team Putin!

TEHRAN (FNA)- Yemen’s army and popular forces targeted and destroyed a Saudi warship in the waters near Bab al-Mandab Strait, the sixth Saudi vessel sinking in waters offshore Yemen in the last one month.
The Saudi warship was targeted with Yemeni missiles in the coastal waters in the province of Ta’iz today.
The sunken ship had repeatedly fired rockets at residential areas in Ta’iz province, inflicting casualties and destruction there.
This is the sixth time that a Saudi warship is sent deep into the waters of Bab al-Mandab Strait by the Yemeni forces.

“I wrote this text some time ago in order to capture the conflict’s Big Picture and, especially, the coincidence and clash of interests of all the major participants. The whole slew of recent events, including the downing of the Russian airliner over the Sinai, the Paris terror attacks, and the shoot-down of the Russian Su-24 bomber over Syria by Turkish fighters, have made these relationships stand out in starker relief, but they also served to realign them. Therefore it is time to revisit this text and provide a few updates.”
