Houthis

📝 🇾🇪 🇺🇸 Why do I think the Houthis are such a force to be reckoned with? Why do I think there is actually a chance they could defeat a US led coalition? | Calvin Froedge

🔶️ The Houthis seized power in 2014 following a coup, and after taking the capital of Sana'a, moved southward to begin an offensive against government forces.

🔶️ In 2015, A Saudi-led coalition of Arab states—including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, and Kuwait - with the material support of the US - joins the Yemeni government in fighting the Houthis.

⬛️ The coalition attacked by land, air, and sea.

🔶️ Despite an all out "scorched earth" war against the Houthis by virtually the entire Arab world and increased US arms sales to the Saudis, the Houthis remained undefeated and continued to gain ground against the Yemeni government.

🔶️ The Houthis would claim numerous victories over the coming years, not only against the Yemeni ground forces, but against coalition ground forces, coalition air forces, and even coalition naval forces.

⬛️ No matter how much they got hit with, the Houthis kept winning.

🔶️ In 2016 the Houthis even managed to completely destroy a coalition warship, the Emirati HSV-SWIFT 2.

⬛️ The ship was targeted by a Houthi anti ship missile.

🔶️ By 2019, the coalition has fallen apart. The Houthis have assassinated many key figures in the Yemeni government. They landed a huge blow against the Saudis in the 2019 Abaqiq attack. UAE forces have completely withdrawn from Yemen.

⬛️ The coalition decides to let the Houthis win.

🔶️ On March 30, 2022, Saudi Arabia announces a cessation of all military operations in Yemen.

🔶️ The Houthis have won. Against all odds, against the whole Arab world, against the United States, from a small city in Northern Yemen, the Houthis have conquered the country.

🔶️ Fast forward to today, are the Houthis weaker than they were a decade ago? Far from it.

🔶️ The Houthis now enjoy mass popular support and have inherited vast Yemeni weapons arsenal as well as supplies from Iran.

⬛️ They enjoy a strong strategic position at a vital choke point.

🔶️ My reasoning for thinking the Houthis are a force to be reckoned with is simple - they have already proven it, over and over again, while vastly outnumbered against foes supplied and supported by the most powerful empire the earth has ever seen.

⬛️ The Houthis are the Fremen.

🔶️ The Houthis have proven that they cannot be starved. Years of blockade were ineffective.

🔶️ They have proven that they cannot be defeated with technology - they have downed countless modern European and US built aircraft.

🇾🇪 This enemy will fight to the last man.

It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.

However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?

Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.

Something has gone badly wrong.

“Oregon is using satellites to hunt small farms.”

Farmer Justin Rhodes says the state redefined “CAFO” so even 3 cows and a milking stand count as a factory farm.

Cease-and-desist letters. $100K “upgrades.” Family farms shut down.

“The fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and it’s in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use ‘cow parts’ because cows are large and have a lot to use.”
