Civ Div: Why NO ONE Can Destroy the Houthis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bIyothYEgo

Title is cringey but the guy was/is a Marine who fought in Iraq and then volunteered to go to Ukraine when it first popped off.

But he ran drones in Ukraine, and has driven thru the same tunnels the Houthis are still occupying and were building drones already a decade ago.

So there's not many other people better equipped to explain why the Houthis capturing the Bab al-Mandab Strait isn't the same as any random militia doing it.

No one is going to be able to bomb them out, someone is going to have to send a whole bunch of troops thru miles and miles of tunnels filled with explosives and fighters who will die for their cause with zero hesitation.

Some solid points. Coupled with the fact current US leadership is full of hubris the war effort was doomed from the start.
