The Houthis have done it again, catching the United States unawares as they continue to be underestimated in their solidarity with Gaza. Right, so the Houthis in Yemen have once again been top of the who can embarrass the US most list this week as it has been they, rather than Israel who have suddenly become the number one target. When you rock up on the doorstep of Yemen, still conduct yourself like a big I am, throw your weight around in the Red Sea, which has become a gauntlet for pro Israel shipping, you deserve what you get from the Ansarallah forces as the Houthis should more accurately be called.
Over the past year many of us watching the situation in the Middle East have come to see Yemen as the never back down from anything bunch, who will have a go at anyone, the Jack Russell Terrier’s of the Middle East is what springs to my mind, no matter how big the dog, they’re going to have a go and so two new warships turning up in the Red Sea certainly could well count as a very big dog, but even big dogs can run away from littler ones with more fight in them and the warships it seems, have run away!
