As the vanguard of the anti-US urgency, no one dares to call the Houthis the first when they claim to be second, why does an organization of just a small country dare to be so arrogant? First of all, we have to talk about the beginning of this organization.
The rise of the Houthis is inextricably linked to Yemen, and he is a Yemeni politicianBadar al-Din HouthiA military organization he founded, Badal al-Din Houthi is a close associate of former Ali Ali in Yemen, and his Houthi rebels were initially created to oppose Yemen's corrupt and unjust policies.
Yemen has been in a state of turmoil for a long time due to many problems such as politics, economy, history, religion, resources, etc., so the society is unstable and the people are dissatisfied.
In the beginning, the group was not called the Houthis, but rather the HouthisYoung Believers, founded in 1992, is the Shiite branch of Yemen, advocating the establishment of a Shia-dominated Islamic Republic, their slogan is "Allah is great, down with the United States, down with Israel, curse the Jews, Islamic victory", it can be seen that the emergence of the Houthis is absolutely not allowed by the United States, Israel and many other countries.
During the 2003 Iraq War, young believers participated in mass demonstrations against the then Yemeni policies that were suppressed. After the leader of the Young Faithful group, Hussein Houthi, was killed by the Yemeni Army in 2004, his younger brother took over the organization and took overIn 2004, the organization was renamed the Houthis, and from this year on, the Houthis were officially formed, and it was also from this year that the Houthis officially rebelled against Yemen**
When the Houthis were first established, they were once called the Slipper Army, because they had extremely rudimentary equipment, the soldiers could not achieve uniform uniforms, and even some soldiers wore slippers, ** Most of them are relics of the Second World War era, but it is such an army that can no longer be soiled, and in 2014, it fought head-on with the Yemeni ** army, and showed strong combat effectiveness and organized combat capabilities, and once controlled the northern part of Yemen and the capital.
What followed was the intervention of countries in the Middle East, especially the "Decisive Storm" operation launched by the Saudi-led multinational coalition in 2015More than 100 fighters of 150,000 troops attacked the HouthisThe disparity in equipment between the two sides can be called extremely large, and everyone believes that this is a dimensionality reduction strike, and the Houthis will collapse in this timeBut the fact is that this battle lasted for eight years, and instead of being completely eliminated, the Houthis became richer and richerWith the capture of a large number of coalition forces**, coupled with the support of Allah and Iran, the Houthis are getting better and better armed and their military combat capabilities are getting strongerThey have unknown ballistic missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, drones, fighter jets, and even cruise missiles, it was from the slipper army that became the regular army.
In fact, it's not that you don't dare, but to see whether this battle is worth it and the final consequencesThe will of the piston armed forces is very strong, and the army with a strong will is invincible, even if they do not have very advanced equipment but rely on the terrain for guerrilla warfare, it is still a headache for the enemy.
Just like Afghanistan back then, the United States dragged it in, and it dragged on for many years, so it is natural for the United States to consider whether the Houthis in Yemen will be the same as Afghanistan。Therefore, the tactics of air strikes and bombing have been adopted, and secondly, many of the United States' junior brothers in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, are constantly facing the threat of the HouthisThrow bombs into oil wells in Saudi Arabia when it's okayThere is basically no big cost for such a surprise attack, but the Saudi Arabia cannot afford the loss of oil wells, and a full-scale conflict really breaks out, and the United States also has to consider the interests of its little brother in the Middle East.
Another point is that the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Russia-Ukraine conflict have led to the lack of skills of the United States, coupled with its own internal problems, it is difficult for the United States to directly intervene in the Houthi issue in a short period of time.
While the Houthis appear to have won partial victories now, their future remains uncertain, whether they will contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East, and where they will ultimately go.
