In terms of troops and readiness, Pakistan hasn't been impacted much here if at all. They might join later, but it's premature to characterize it as "Saudi/Pakistani forces" at the moment.

        He's open about being a front for pre-written material, but the sheer volume of similarly themed channels he runs that cover the same stories is crazy. I wanted to look up an Antikythera mechanism video and the first three videos were three different Simon Whistler videos with just different channel names.
