A senior US official was cited by CNN as saying the Russian aims to arm the Houthis were "antithetical to the goals we are pursuing."

Russia stopped at the last minute a shipment of missiles and other military equipment it planned to deliver to the Houthis last month after pressure from the United States and Saudi Arabia not to do so, numerous sources told CNN on Friday.

A senior US official was cited by CNN as saying the Russian aims to arm the Houthis were "antithetical to the goals we are pursuing" in achieving peace between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.

The official added, according to CNN, that if the Houthis were to pursue such an enterprise with the Russians, this would indicate "a lack of commitment" on their part in discussing peace. Indeed, the official affirmed that in the current situation, the Houthis “appear to be drifting further away from a commitment to a negotiated peace in Yemen.”

According to the sources, Russia's reason for providing weapons to the Houthis was in response to the Biden Administration enabling Ukraine to attack Russia with arms of US supply.

Whereas the armament plan was halted, the sources told CNN that in late July, the Houthis hosted Russian military staff sent by Russia as advisors to the group. They were seen aboard a Houthi vessel in the Red Sea with bags; however, it did not seem that these carried weapons.

The US has always supported Pakistan, even when its own Armed Forces and Diplomatic Corps were protesting. Very hypocritical to cast aspersions on Russia.

At least the terrorists don't bomb Russian ships.The Pakis happily used American money and weapons to attack Americans.

They didn’t delay these shipments because Joe and the Saudis “ pressured” them. More likely…
We gave them something.
Perhaps relating to Ukraine.

Of course something "relating to Ukraine." The Russian's don't give a rat's ass about the Houthis or the Palestinians. The Russians are playing hardball with the Biden administration over Ukraine and ostensibly "arming the Houthis" was just a power play for leverage.

And, so, another Boomercon Cold Warmonger moron heard from.

Fortunately, your kind are dying off. Too slowly for my taste, but I suppose there's nothing for it.

I read yesterday that Russia was running a Berlin Airlift operation to bring hypersonic missiles to Iran. I guess those were the ones that were supposed to go to Yemen. //sarcasm
