Russel during the last Jimmy Show you asked about why Oman refuses to help the US and UK enter Yemen: I have the answer. A few years ago, at a refugee camp, I met a Yemeni who told me a lot about Yemen. He spoke about his love for Oman. Oman is a country, when the original attacks on Yemen started, said they wouldn't participate in harming Yemen in any way. Oman has a very close brotherhood with Yemen. The leader of Oman at the time said "I don't want it to be written in the history books that Oman has invaded Yemen". At the time, there was a lot of pressure to get Oman to participate in the destruction of Yemen, but they refused. For the people of Oman, this is a hard line.

My pleasure. I noticed a typo in my original comment, the quote "I don't want it to be written in the history books that Oman has invaded Yemen" came from the leader of Oman not Yemen. I fixed it now
