350,000 soldiers, 20,000 tanks,
2,450 warplanes and 460 military
helicopters are massing in northern
Saudi Arabia for a military exercise
that is being called “Northern
Thunder”.
According to the official
announcement , forces are being
contributed by Saudi Arabia, the
United Arab Emirates, Egypt,
Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, Kuwait,
Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman,
Qatar, Malaysia and several other
nations. This exercise will
reportedly last for 18 days , and
during that time the airspace over
northern Saudi Arabia will be closed
to air traffic. This will be the largest
military exercise in the history of the
region, and it comes amid rumors
that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are
preparing for a massive ground
invasion of Syria.
If you were going to gather forces
for an invasion, this is precisely how
you would do it. Governments
never come out and publicly admit
that forces are moving into position
for an invasion ahead of time, so
“military exercises” are a common
excuse that gets used for this sort
of thing.
If these exercises are actually being
used as an excuse to mass forces
near the northern Saudi border,
then we should expect an invasion
to begin within the next couple of
weeks. If it happens, we should
expect to see the Saudi coalition
storm through western Iraq and into
Syria from the south, and it is likely
that Turkey will come in from the
north.
The goal would be to take out the
Assad regime before Russia, Iran
and Hezbollah could react. For the
past couple of years, Saudi Arabia,
Turkey and their allies have been
funding the Sunni insurgency in
Syria , and they were counting on
those insurgents to be able to take
down the Assad regime by
themselves.
Noma
BS.
The countries you mention do not have that kind of firepower.
20,000 tanks? 2,500 planes?
