And I say this with great caution: The Iranians have not said their final word. Those who don’t understand the Shiites, the Arab world, or the Iranians don’t realize that as the Bedouins say: Revenge is served cold.
Why is this Israeli confusing Arab Bedouins, with Iranians?
80% of settlers as far as I know live in Greater Tel Aviv, it is the economic center of the colony. Jerusalem is less significant politically and economically but important to the settlers symbolically. Jerusalem still has a significant Palestinian population and is sacred to Muslims.
This is significant because The U.S. has special rules for satellites over one country: Israel. Amazing what Hezbollah can undo with just a few drones.
I am really optimistic that the US can and will be defeated.
American military says it has spent about $1 billion fighting Ansar Allah to support Israel’s Gaza War.
That's 5% of Yemen's nominal GDP.
I think the Russian GDP is roughly half of Germany’s GDP alone
not when measured in PPP
There was a slight bump when Biden took office but it dropped soon after people realized he is inept at best
Nothing good ever came from the French in Africa
I'm Arab and supportive, and sometimes use it. The term isn't racist, there's no racial significance to it. They do prefer the term Ansar Allah and I think we should use it. While some use the term Houthis to delegitimize them, I have seen supporters use the term as well, it is named after their leaders, Hussein and Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
I want to stress that we should use the official name, or simply refer to them as the government of Yemen, but it is wrong to assume that the term is purely pejorative specially when used here.
Okay, but what for-profit shipping company would take the risk? How much damage do you think the Yemenis can do to all the world's navies gathered? None at all? Maybe check with USS Cole.
I think the best response here, is to just ask you to watch it play out. You may be surprised.
I say to US lawmakers: Do it!
