Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[retaxis]

This is a military forum. Why would I be in a military forum if war doesn´t fascinate me to begin with. We get to see modern warfare with good drone show, mountain to mountain top fights etc etc.. This is good, We can learn something from it.

I have followed many wars in the last few years very closely

Since you said you followed many wars recently then you know Syria lasted more than a decade and Russia/Ukraine war may last a decade or more also.

Therefore the chances of houthis falling soon is far far far smaller than chances of war lasting many long years.

Saudi Arabia may end up in the garbage bin of history. Literally a country named after a Family.

Bye bye Saud. Bring in the Farouk Arabia or Abdul Arabia or Kareem Arabia...

It has already lasted 12 years.. It has alot of miles on the meter already.

This is not a young war but a war of attrition.

There is alot of signs showing that the houthis have exhausted themselves and faltering away both from the inside and pressure from the outside.

And nothing shows that it won't last another 12 years since Saudis won't even send in ground forces because like America, they are afraid of losing their troops in war.

War of attrition is like a Marathon, someone fades first and then the other fresher one bounces on them and finishes them off.

The houthis are showing signs of fatigue and unwillingess besides when I say houthis I do not mean the leaders cause they have no choice and will fight until they can no more but the population in houthi held areas have had enough, I mean the tribes as they have sacrificed alot of souls, plus Houthi held areas are extremely poor and want no more. They have lived in war and destruction for to long, and to many killed and the sweetness of life has left their taste and want it back.

Also the Taiz front has proven to be a trap and destroyed their will and manpower which have created a good opening for NDF on Marib front and the Giants on the Western coast to exploit and now the PLC from the North will also benefit from it.

I would honestly never take such a bet especially in war. NDF can arrive there earlier or couple days later or even weeks later.. War is always a fluid state but one thing is for sure the NDF will enter Sanaa that part is a formality... It is a flat land mostly plus the NDF has air cover and they have significiant manpower they will reach Sanaa that is a fact

than don’t predict outcomes that no one knows what may happen your not on the ground nor am I I read news reports on Al Jazeera but a man decides to openly state something with supposed confidence should stay with it I would have respected you if you took that bet it would show that you do have true beliefs in what you say instead of backing out on a friendly bet but because I am that guy and your not confident in what you said the 27th if they do what you say I will uphold a one sided bet(it’s not costing me anything but just cost you a lot for someone who prides himself in knowing so much about wars and their outcomes)

you put out illogical bet. War is more complex then that.

The NDF said it themselves they will enter Sanaa and are currently on the outskirts this is a ground reality just accept it.

They are coming armed to teeth...

-------------------

5 mins of hunting down houthis video even taking out there speed boats plus fishing boats and everything that moves.
-------------------------------

The Arabs at the gates of Sana'a, God willing.

And as the spokesman for the coalition forces said:"We strike them on land - we drown them at sea"Adorn yourself, Sana'a, and kiss your feet.



Source of the footage;

No, the footage itself is brand new.

The video was officially compiled and released on Friday, October 16, 2026, by Major General Turki al-Malki, the spokesperson for the Arab Coalition

It wouldn’t have cost you anything logical or illogical but I get it you make bold predictions than you back out can’t handle 10 days without making a post but I don’t want to derail this thread anymore I honestly thought you would though ,friendly bets showing everyone here we can admit to our own shortcomings in a friendly manner

I have never changed my initial prediction which is a houthi defeat.

But the bet you want is not logical it is like asking someone will messi miss that freekick or not. or how many seconds will it travel.

But instead ask me who will win the conflict or how will it end.. You can bet on these things.
