The recent bombings by Yemeni drones of two major Saudi Arabian Aramco oil refineries has caused consternation and anger within the Saudi and US regimes.
The US wasted no time falsely putting the blame for the bombings on Iran. US regime’s spokes-vermin, in their typical reptilian logic claim that there is no way that a beleaguered and small militant group as the Houthis could have the ability to carry out such a devastating precision bombing.
But these US regime reptiles seem to be ignoring the fact that the Houthis have been using drones to target the Saudis, their allies, bases and infrastructure for years.
The Yemeni Houthi movement has clearly claimed responsibility for this. Why would they do so, if they did not do it and open themselves up to possible retaliation?
The US is falsely pinning the blame for these refinery bombings on Iran because it is too cowardly to admit that its forces and weaponry have failed to protect its Saudi client-state cash-cow from a militant movement in a war-ravaged country.
But these false accusations will not find a willing audience, except for a few miserable pee-ons in the region and in Europe. No one else believes this US hyped-up tripe anymore.
These refinery bombings were a huge blow to US prestige. The US regime, military, and weapons makers were all greatly embarrassed.
The inability of US military planners and US-made weaponry to counter the Houthi drones is also a sobering wake-up call to all those countries with which the US has any sort of ‘defense’ agreements and partnerships with.
These attacks made the US look unreliable and inept. This realization has not been lost on the US regime’s faithful vassals, especially the ones in Europe that see the US as the lynch pin of NATO and who count on the US for their ‘protection.’
If a small group of Yemeni militants were able to cut through US ‘defenses’ and score a devastating win, then what is a country like Iran, Russia or China capable of? And will the US be able to defend anyone from such adversaries? This question is no longer a resounding YES, but at best a MAYBE.
US VP Mike Pence has been sent out to make the rounds on TV to do damage control by talking tough and threatening everyone. This is standard procedure whenever the US gets a black eye.
This will no doubt be followed up by self-convincing, self-soothing pep-talks by US vassals from London to Warsaw who will heap fawning praise on the US, while convincing themselves that the ‘US is still strong, and that there is no need to ever doubt the US commitments and ability to defend Europe,’ or some similar clap-trap along this line.
When people who think they are the best suddenly get knocked down a few rungs, the absurdities just don’t stop.
The US regime is paranoid about looking weak or losing to anyone. This obsession with always having to appear powerful may not be simply for commercial purposes or even as a means to dominate others.
The US has to do everything it can to at least appear formidable in order to keep at bay all of the victims of its imperial rampages.
If the US becomes weak, its victims will tear it apart.
What the US gained by hook, crook and murder it needs to maintain by hook, crook and murder. This is certainly true of it’s criminal connivance with the evil KSA Wahhabists when it comes to keeping the petro-dollar system alive and oil profits flowing West. We can see this in the demented lengths to which the US is ready to go in falsely blaming Iran for the refinery bombings without any evidence to speak of.
But as with all its misadventures in the Mideast for the past 20 years, the US, with its breaking of treaties, aiding and abetting terror groups, sanctions and economic terrorism, and assisting the House of Saud with bombing and blockading Yemen for 5+ years and causing tens of thousands of civilian deaths, disease and starvation, has no one else to blame but itself.
It says a lot about the moral degradation of the US establishment when the bombing of an oil refinery is more devastating to them than the devastation of civilian lives and infrastructure caused by its own bombs.
The US wanted to sell its overpriced, shoddy weaponry to Saudi Arabia so it could bomb Yemen non-stop, so now it has to pay the price with higher oil prices and domestic economic downturn that will most likely follow after the Aramco bombings.
But that is the price the US will have to be prepared to pay for its stupidity.
If the US wants to bomb, then it will get bombed in return. There is no way around this.
Ask the Saudis.
