Assymetric War Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Assymetric War



Asymmetric war
Saudi Arabia has more weaponry they can handle
A small country with a few drones crippled them
And the USA sends more weapon and troops
That is useless in this type of warfare.
The armament industry has been fed and
the weapon looks shinning on the tarmac along
line of tanks going nowhere and remarkable planes
that has no purpose and only a few pilots who bomb
from a great height in case they should be hit, then
comes a few drones from the enemy and upset
the oil production in this country that has little
of value other than oil.
They know they know they can't obliterate anyone
The Houthi runs a ring around them so much so
The Saudi are so vulnerable they seek a deal despite
the US protest, you can't fight an asymmetric
war the unseen that might strike when it is least
expected as there is no battlefield.
The Saudi's are running scared without oil it
A land of dunes.
