It's kinda wild just how quickly they managed to blow all the ground they'd achieved painting a narrative about the Yemen Civil War,

They went from put upon victims of saudi aggression to instantly proving the Saudis point about why they were so paranoid about an Iranian ally having any control over the red sea trade.

Like they literally went and started doing the exact thing Riyadh was raising excuse about just to Israel instead of them, MBS probably spends his private hours whooping and dancing like a lunatic over how perfectly this all went down for his agenda in the region

The Houthis need to be dealt with very, very harshly. This cannot continue.

I'm happy to see the US is continuing to diminish their ability to attack civilian shipping.

Edit: A Belize-flagged cargo ship had to be abandoned just recently after being attacked by Yemen.

This is reminding me of the Barbary Wars.
