PROMISE OF RENEWED WARFARE BY YEMEN AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA

✍️Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️

The world pays too little attention to Yemen. The mass media everywhere tends to belittle its achievements. In the Collective West it is to protect face, that of Israel, the United States, and NATO. In the Arab world, it is also to protect face, being that of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt. In the case of the Russian Federation, it is to protect a geopolitically delicate balance between two new BRICS members, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

In fact, American military intervention in Yemen began in 2012 and active warfare with Saudi Arabia and the Union of Arab Emirates in 2015. Yemen suffered tremendously, yet survived. War with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, instead of boiling, has recently been merely simmering.

The Saudi Arabian government, though, has an unabated hatred of Yemen's Ansar Allah (Houthi) government in Sanaa and, instead, supports an anti-Ansar Allah internationally recognized government, officially in Aden, but, unofficially, in luxury hotel accommodations in Riyadh. For this reason, Ansar Allah attacks on Israel have been seen by the Saudi government as an extension of the war they are waging with Ansar Allah that never really stopped.

Recently, Ansar Allah tried to negotiate a prisoner exchange of captured Saudi Arabian pilots for Hamas members imprisoned by Saudi Arabia. Not only did Saudi Arabia refuse, but it also announced that bank transfers to and from Yemen would be blocked, and that Sanaa's international airport would be closed down, as would Yemen's ports.

On the 7th, a Yemeni response appeared declaring that Yemen would not be intimidated. If Yemeni banking were blocked, they would destroy the Saudi Arabian banking system. If the international airport were closed down, so would Saudi Arabian airports in Riyadh and other cities. If Yemen's ports were closed, Saudi Arabian ports would be closed.

This was not a declaration of war, rather it was a declaration of the renewal of a war that never completely ended. It was a promise to make Saudi Arabia taste the suffering it was trying to impose on others. As is typical of mainstream media, Yemen has been ignored. As such, we can safely predict that in the coming months, Saudi Arabia is going to suffer greatly as a result and, through Saudi Arabia, so will the rest of world. After all, Yemen is in a far better position to destroy Saudi Arabian oil production than it was several years ago. Its underground missile production facilities have massively improved, as have the development of its naval drones. Moreover, it is far more experienced in the use of the weapons it produces.

The range of Yemeni produced weapons may be less than that of American produced weapons, but what recent missile warfare shows is that the decisive factor is the quantity produced. And, this is where Yemen, like Hezbollah in Lebanon, appears to have a decisive advantage. Additionally, American provided air defense systems are costly and, as proven in Ukraine and West Asia, ineffective.

One last point. At present, the petrodollar has already been abandoned by the Saudi government. The dollar is just one of several currencies that can be used in purchasing Saudi oil. What, though, if suddenly there were no oil to be bought for any currency whatsoever? It looks like a very cold winter this year for many people in many countries with totally unpredictable consequences for the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, and, of course, the Russian Federation. The world would do better to ignore mainstream media and, like Iran has been doing, begin treating the Ansar Allah government of Yemen with the respect it deserves.

Detailed Overview Of Massive Russian Strikes Across Ukraine On July 8, 2024

🇮🇳 🇷🇺 Modi visits Moscow: 'true friend' Russia never propagated anti-India activities, unlike the West, expert says

Indian PM Narendra Modi's first official visit to Moscow in his third term underscores the enduring strength of the India-Russia relationship, retired Lieutenant-Colonel J.S. Sodhi, an Indian Army veteran, told Sputnik in an interview, emphasizing the deep trust and reliability New Delhi has found in Moscow.

"Russia and the erstwhile USSR have never allowed their soil to be used for anti-India activities, unlike the US and the West," Sodhi noted. "If there is one country India can blindly trust and rely upon, it is only Russia."

He further pointed out that Russia has consistently provided India with vital technology transfers for its defense systems, a commitment lacking in Western counterparts.

Beyond defense, the India-Russia partnership is seen as a crucial factor in maintaining regional stability.

"A strong and closer India-Russia friendship will help lower the ever-rising temperatures between China & Pakistan, and India," explained Sodhi.
