Saudis have a sizable military they should be able to take care of the Houthis on their own.

Saudis invaded Yemen in a failed regime change bid back in 2015.

By 2019, despite a blockade starving hundreds of thousands of civilians to death, the Saudis and their monarchial gulf compatriots still hadn't forced the Houthi's accept the leader they wanted to install. The Houthis hit the Saudi's largest refinery with some drones, and they immediately began to de-escalate. Eventually throwing in the towel in 2022.

I'm surprised day after day to find out FReepers had no idea of this war.

I know about the war but it doesn’t mean the Saudis would automatically lose against the Houthis again
