Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[Shags202]

It appears Houthi industrial capacity is larger than people assumed. I think intelligence communities assumed they wasted lots of their missiles on Gaza and lost lots of weapons during US strikes in Yemen.

I don't think they're targeting Saudi airports and so forth just for military gains they might have an idealogical motive behind what they're doing, particularly against current Saudi government

To be fair I always thought most people were underestimating them and the fact they stayed out of the war minus a few pot shits on Israel during the war was done purposely Iran needed them build their industrial base and prepare for a larger war if it comes to it which I’m thinking it might be coming soon people keep underestimating Irans planning they say oh look they’re not hitting Israel I say they are weakening the defensive circle that has been protecting Israel Saudi Arabia defenses if this is telling sign is showing you they can’t protect every site I’m not even talking about the airport attacks but oil facilities are Saudi Arabia’s bread and butter if they can’t protect those sites from a few missiles and drones there’s a shortage somewhere

I don't believe people were underestimating them. It shows what an united, organized and ideologically Arab tribe is capable of. And I'm not referring to their attacks on Saudi Arabia but ability to suistain a war economy for an extended period. Iran plays a big part in that, for sure. I think the strange thing is Saudi government's lack of initiative which doesn't appear to me as by design.

And I also don't see what you're seeing that Iran is doing this to 'weaken defenses around Israel' before going in all on Israel. Not seeing any of signs of that unless they pull a trick up their sleeve. Israel is really far from them to do that. And way more capable than Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia and GCC are in close proximity.

This is not Taiz and is very clearly Gaza city (I know my home and remember this exact video, you can clearly see the Gaza city towers in the video). What's with the relentless fake reporting in this conflict ?

These shameless charlatans have flooded the Internet with this and what's sad is people who genuinely want to know what is going on or are concerned unwittingly share this and perpetuate the cycle of misinformation.

You gave every reason for why Ansarallah is hitting Saudi airports apart from the most obvious one: in response to Saudi aggression against Yemeni airports.

This began around time Houthi's began targeting Saudi oil tankers and pushed south. It's part of greater war in region and I think we all are aware of that. No point to pretend to trace it back to one event. The developments are all connected.

As for Houthi's they do what they want I'm not telling them what to do

No to be fair a lot of people were underestimating them if we have to go through all of the Iran war threads I’m sure plenty of people threw pot shots against them same as people throw pot shots against Hezbollah than all of sudden they come up with a big surprise that catches us all by surprise I don’t always have to agree with these groups or Irans leaders but they tend to surprise people who keep throwing stones in their direction I’m thinking Iran has had plans in place for awhile and these are starting to come to light

@Watandar what’s funny? You had laughing emoji at them, innocent muslims got injured.

His fun only side with PTI sympathy. This reason why I hate PTI. No moral, no ethics, no common sense typical Afghan thinking brain strom by our greatest handsome leader.

Riyadh airport and Dammam airport remain closed with severe disruptions at Jeddah airport as Yemen armed forces maintain ‘siege for a siege’ equation

Yes, hundreds of pilgrims injured - people who came to the house of Allah now in terror including women and children.

Now no can say Houthis is innocent or Yameen people. I mean in coming days many PTI will cry and how people suffer but end of day it is Houthis who made it worse by killing civilian. You will see same style lebanon execution model will follow.

Iranians or AOR fans taking pot shots against Houthi's is not because they underestimate them but rather their related to their expectations of how Houthi's should act while Iran is under attack.

Hezbollah under Nasrallah didn't have any surprises and I've warned for many years that he's not a good leader for Hezbollah and 2006 success was due to Imad Mugiyheh and other Hezbollah military leadership. Naim Qassam put them back in their grassroots direction but South Lebanon is largely destroyed like Gaza. Hamas and Hezbollah don't have more surprises. Being able to fight isn't a surprise but you need to understand the cost to do so at this point has no gain for them or their people.

Iran has had plans to enricle Saudi Arabia this isn't a surprise if you've watched how things have transpired from 1979 onward. I'm personally not surprised by this and have also been warning Saudis for a long time. The question is what is the end game? Can you or anyone else answer that?

if Saudis are willing to try and send at least 200 hundred thousand men with air land and sea assets to back them to fight for every inch of Houthi controlled land than we can say Lebanon style even Israel’s military could only take a couple dozen miles of land after a few years I don’t think saudis who haven’t been in a war in over ten years is up for a job as big as that

War is not sending troops. It is all AI, tech and Drones.
