- ianburrell 3y agoYemen is backed by Saudi Arabia and UAE. Houthis are backed by Iran.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoThe proxy was in Yemen has been going on for almost 10 years. US just doesn’t want to be a direct part of that mess and the Saudis don’t want to damage their rapprochement with Iran. I’m not sure though if a Saudi-Iran-Russia axis would be in anyone’s interest. So maybe bombing the Houthis and trying to drag SA back into the war wouldn’t be the worst idea ever (if everyone just ignores the civilian suffering which is generally quite easy).
