The Houthis decided to take power after the Saudi-backed candidate ran unopposed in the election (which, y’know, is the sign of a functioning democracy that represents the people). Following almost a decade of hostilities with Saudi Arabia using US military assets, and after Saudi Arabia finally extricated themselves from the quagmire, I guess we’re going right back into it?
