Houthi–Saudi conflict

Same thing with the Houthis.

How many weeks last year did the US Navy get entangled with the Houthis and how did they fare? There's a reason why the US has stayed out of this Houthi Saudi Arabia situation to Trump's credit.

Houthis are formidable.

Just because they've been sanctioned into oblivion and our measures of economic activity don't capture what's going on, doesn't mean that Iran or North Korea or Yemen are like cakewalks for a Western military based on expensive trinkets.

So I'd recommend you head down to the description.

We might talk a little bit later there this evening.

Either way, this has been the Tony Kinnett cast here on The Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on 93 WIBC.

So there are still open questions about the differences between what the Mecca Defense Pact represents on paper and what it actually means in practice.

What is interesting, though, is that we might see the Saudi Houthi hostilities lead to some reconciliation between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.

It might be premature to say that that's already happened.

Some commentators out there have claimed that the two countries have totally buried the hatchet and there's no longer a rivalry.

All right.

I'm going to turn this over to watch because we're going to talk about the Saudi Houthi war.

Oh, Saudi Arabia.

I hear they're watching Black Man's Spot.

So unpopular, probably ineffective, right? And then just the whole idea of like, How does this relate to Iran? I think that, you know, at this point, I think the president is probably in the right position in not using military force at this moment.

But what's missing is what else are we doing? It's like we have a hammer and everything looks like a nail and we only seem—well, we have the econ side on Iran— But we need diplomacy right now and we need to really be pushing some solutions in the Saudi-Houthi conflict.

And I don't see that happening.

All right.
