HOUTHIS DEAL CRUSHING BLOW TO SAUDI ARABIA, TRUMP FAILS TO BACK KEY ALLY
Written by Michael Thervil
[HOUTHIS SAUDI ARABIA TRUMP] Ansarullah, also known as the Houthis, known for never bluffing on the world stage has not only expeditiously advanced across the battlefield within 36 hours against the Collective West in the region, but they have also taken control of both the lesser and greater Hanish Islands in the Red Sea. The Hanish Islands are a strategic maritime logistical shipping route located in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The seizing of the Hanish Islands by Ansarullah comes on the heels of them seizing the Port of Mocha, another strategic location in the Red Sea.
Although now lifted, it was reported that a warning was issued early this morning for six cities in Saudi Arabia that were at a high risk of being attacked by Ansarullah including Jeddah, Abha, Jazan, al-Ula and Taif, and Yanbu. Ansarullah, remaining both fearless and relentless in terms of executing wave after wave of strikes by thousands of its members, have forced Yemeni military officials to desperately call for help in the form of air strike from Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia was unable to provide any assistance to the Yemeni military. Continuing their campaign down the coast of the red sea, Ansarullah was also able to take control of Perim Island, another strategic location known as logistical shipping hub in the region.
During a request from assistance from the Trump Administration from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, it led to him being denied any aid from the Trump Administration as president trump stated that “The United States is focused on protecting our core national security interests—such as ensuring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea—while empowering our regional partners to take the lead in managing and resolving regional security challenges.” Geopolitical Analysts are taking the position that the denial of military aid to Saudi Arabia from the Americans will have detrimental impacts on American-Saudi relations in the future, exponentially reversing decades of diplomatic relations between the two countries. It should be noted that Saudi Arabia is and has always been one of the largest buyers of American based weapon systems for decades.
What is now being labeled as a “Saudi-American fuck up of epic proportions”, it appears to reveal not only the lack of political cohesion between the Americans and Saudi Arabia, but it also revealed the corruption within the Yemeni military force as not only have the majority of their ammunition been depleted; but the fact that 80% of the military members that were reported on paper never existed. It was reported that Saudi Arabia was provided intelligence by the Americans three weeks ago that there could be a surge in military activities by Ansarullah, but they failed to put military assets in place to potentially counter the actions of Ansarullah. With Saudi Arabia failing to cover the Yemeni military and then the American failing to cover Saudi Arabia, the advance of Ansarullah deeper into the coastal regions of Yemen and the red sea are now inevitable and possibly permanent.
While some analysts are making the prediction that Ansarullah will now head east towards Oman, others are predicting that they will move both west and to the north as American military assets are heavily located in Djibouti (West Africa) and to the north to Saudi Arabia as the northern border to Saudi Arabia is closer to them as well as easier for them to execute their military campaign against. Without the use of advanced weaponry Ansarullah has far exceeded the expectations of the Collective West in terms of how effective they are with what little they have. It should also be noted that Ansarullah has included Saudi based ships in their blockade within the Bab el-Mandeb Strait,
As of right now, Saudi Arabia has executed 54 air strikes of their own accord against Ansarullah, but Ansarullah has been known to be exceptionally resilient against any form of air strikes. In fact, it has been reported that more civilians were killed in the recent Saudi led airstrikes than fighters from Ansarullah. But the fighting between Ansarullah, Saudi Arabia and the Collective West is doing more than raising the number of those caught in the middle of the conflict and killed, it's also raising risk, the level of uncertainty in the market and the cost of oil which currently stands at the U.S. Crude price of an estimated $103.13 per barrel and the Global Crude oil benchmark price at an estimated $107.36/ barrel.
