Reminder that the Houthis are continuing the legacy of people who have literally never been conquered. They absolutely wrecked the Egyptian army when they tried to make North Yemen part of the United Arab Republic, and they never came under the influence of the Saudis when they were trying to expand in the peninsula. It's like a mini-Afghanistan, a place where empires go to die.

so let's see, the houthis have crippled 5% of the world's oil production and captured a chunk of the saudi military. if it wasn't happening while millions of people were starving from a blockade I'd love to see what they had planned next

Man at this point if the Shammar tribe actually wants to reclaim Jabal Shammar from the Saudis like they officially say they want to they'd probably have a good chance at success if they made a go of it.

I'm seeing some reports that the Houthis also claimed liberating "hundreds of kilometers" on the Najran axis. Not sure if that means they've invaded Najran proper or if they've just taken lots of territory along the border. the "we can deduct your remainders without calculators" line is so good
