Saudis did a lot more than that. They exported their entire OBL/Alqaeda problem to Pakistan/Afghanistan and let them bear the brunt of 9/11.

It is a fair analogy, though Iranian friends may feel offended at these harsh truths.
The Houthis appatently have a "non-aggression" pact with USA, (as per Trump, so maybe take it with a pinch of salt).
If true, herein lies the problem as I see it.
They signal "localised conflict only" (N.B. remember what Talibs used to tell us - "saar we only are concerned about Afghanistan and Afghan interests...but yes, we harbour Al Qaeda and TTP who are guests saar"). To an extent, it can be argued that they do indeed stay locally concerned in Yemen.
But they reference the usual global ummah project (Palestine) when condemning a smorgasbord assortment of "enemies" or "rivals", and even firing against more widely placed enemies.
The obvious contradiction in their reasoning arises when they fire missiles at Riyadh, citing the defence of Palestinian interests as their justification, but in reality they (a) achieve nothing for the Palestinians whatsoever, and (b) seem quick to forgive the very Americans upon whom their economic pressure at Bab el Mandab could theoretically make some conceivable difference to those Palestinians.
And then we get told that Houthis are warriors for all muslims and are not helping Israel meet their objectives.
To be clear, I'm not implying a deliberate alliance with Israel, but through sheer naivety, the Houthis are sinking deeper into the trap that has been laid for them.

Saudi military must not to be blamed here and they can't . Any army good enough to do the job, will also be good enough to regime change Saudis as well. So... Saudi deliberately under trained its rank and file so not to threaten their rule. Except for few excellent Saudi brigades to protect Saudi Royal rule:.

Arabs don't have an army, even when they do it's for policing its citizens. You’re seeing the results now.

It does take effort to be this bad at soldiering when you have such abundance of resources, got to give it to the Saudis Royal insiders they’ve made their military a joke not me .
It's been covered before that a lot of armies have to make a trade off, because an army that is too effective also increases the likelihood of a military coup.

Houthis and hezbollah dont blow themselves up in mosques, bazaars, airports, concerts between civilians. Know the difference between terrorist jahel wahabis and resistance groups.
