- jessepasley 3y agoGood thing there a lot of other countries willing to foot that bill.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoIt puzzles me that how little mention Saudi Arabia is getting here - given that they've been Yemen's war-partner against the Houthis for a while (w/ US, UK, French, etc help).

And the Houthis are really in control of all most all of Yemen, so calling them insurgents etc is misplaced. They dissolved the government and replaced it with revolutionary councils.
