📝 🇾🇪 🇺🇸 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 UAE forces have completely withdrawn from Yemen.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.

16,499 people died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths in the country.
According to the latest report on “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) from Health Canada released at the end of last month, there was a 6.9% increase in state-assisted deaths in Canada in 2024.
In 2024, although assisted suicide is permitted, in which the person who wishes to end their own life self-administers the lethal substance, there was not a single case of assisted suicide. Instead, every single person who died under Canada’s MAiD programme died by euthanasia. In 2023, there were fewer than five instances of assisted suicide.
There have been a total of 76,475 instances of euthanasia and assisted suicide since they were made legal in Canada in 2016.
Posters have appeared on the New York subway offering would-be parents the opportunity to "genetically optimise" their future baby.
By signing up to their $8,999 service, Nucleus Genomics will profile the full DNA sequence of up to 20 embryos for couples undergoing IVF.
The New York start-up's slick app then allows would-be parents to review their brood for known disease genes, conditions like autism and ADHD, as well as traits like eye colour, height, and intelligence.
Peter Thiel, who shares similar views to Musk on the topic, supported the start-up through his Founders Fund. – Article
OpenAI's Sam Altman has also invested in gene-editing startup, Preventive, to eliminate gene-hereditary diseases from babies.
The first successful IVF (test tube baby) occurred in 1978. The place, perhaps appropriately, considering English author Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, was England.
The irreversible transformations to the human genome will make the 4IR a pandora’s box.
