The Houthi fighters moved closer to gaining a definitive stranglehold over Bab el Mandeb after a rapid reignition of their conflict with U.S. ally Saudi Arabia and the internationally backed Yemeni government.

    Take it with a grain of salt, I was watching a YouTube video on Somali piracy the other day and it claimed that the Houthis are training and providing materials to them. Did a quick search and there’s a number of news sites saying it, here’s one.

        I like anything that disrupts global trade wand US hegimony, death my a thousand cuts, the straw that broke the camels back. Every time something like this happens it brings the US one step closer to collapse.
